    Stihl MS201-TCM issues and fix. Can use some help. Thx.

    After over 20 years of tree work, I’m gradually redirectioning and partially retiring. I’m turning 63 now and can’t imagine ever to completely stop climbing until health conditions prohibit that. For the past 5 years or so I rarely take on large removals. Pruning and occasional small to medium...

    2013 bandit 75xp bad jamming problem behind feeding wheel

    Got the roller assembly or the yoke in last night. Roller turns freely so half inch bar is not too much. Found out that the reason it’s so hard to get it out and in is the position of the lifting ring. It’s positioned a little too much to the front so the bearing brackets on it can not clear...

    Pretty sure it should solve the jamming problem. Well if not, not a problem either. I’m not opening this up again to add more metal. I already planned to upgrade the punny 27 hp to a 40 hp engine which I did to my 2003 65. Part of the problem is that the fly wheel is underpowered. Once it’s...

    While having the roller out, time to sharpen all the roller blades.

    It’s quite a chore to remove the roller assembly. According to rough measurements, no good way to do any meaningful measurements, half inch will not create clearance problem at that plane. Added three extra little support on top since no way of welding underneath. I know putting the assembly...

    Once I have access to the back of the roller, I have to decide what size a steel bar to weld on there, thinking about half inch now.

    2013 bandit 75xp bad jamming problem behind feeding wheel

    Decided to address this issue so I’ll have a reliable backup chipper. A winter project. After posting this thread, I put a set of brand new knives and it’s been working for maybe a total of 10 hours and misbehaving again. Started removing the two pivot bearings (easy surprisingly) and free...

    2013 bandit 75xp bad jamming problem behind feeding wheel

    The chipper had been working the way it should, not nearly as powerful as the other 6” bandit I have that I put a 40hp Kohler, but good reliable one. It just happened a few days ago, checked knifes and anvil. They’re all in good shape. Again it jams all the time and it’s very hard to get the...

    2013 bandit 75xp bad jamming problem behind feeding wheel

    I have this one with the original 25 hp engine. Been working well till a few days ago. Some wood chunk goes behind the feeding wheel and end up vertically jammed into the space between feeding wheel and the chipper body sheet metal. The sheet metal is not that heavy so it got pushed out more and...
