Wood Chipper repair

Turns out you cannot throw a rock into a small wood chipper/shredder and get away with it. Also turns out that a new impeller is about $350 and the other broken parts are not available.

So I purchased a similar model on Facebook and swapped the engine and housing ... 

Object: move housing from weak engine to bigger engine


Step 1: remove parts - I have become a master at dis-lodging impellers


Step 2: begin reassembly with impeller


Step 3: use opportunity to replace the half-broken wheel


And whamo - look out sticks and leaves. Rocks are still safe.
