Wood Chipper Housing

The housing to the Briggs and Stratton 305cc engine fell apart. After the heroic effort associated with the rebuild in September (see https://dougsara.blogspot.com/2023/09/wood-chipper-repair.html), I was not about to give up on the chipper.

Old and new housing lined up side by side

The pull-starter was riveted to the old housing. So, I had to research how to remove rivets without any specific rivet tool. A 3/15" drill and a pair of vice-grips did the trick.
