    Great place for belts - CHEAP

    LOL Oh that is pathetic of me. I should have spell checked. I'll change that. The belt worked fine, and I meant that the belts aren't crap.

    Thoughts to families of shooting

    What does it take to go to that level? Is it genetic or learned?

    Do chains dull when the get too hot?

    I was bucking wood today, and I noticed that as the chain was starting to get dull, the oil was cutting out to the chain. Then smoke was coming from the kerf. So did the lack of oil and excess friction over heat the teeth, and dull the teeth? Or was it the suddenly dull teeth that caused...

    Need an online calender to share job details

    Okay, now I'm seeing how the Google Calender combined with Google Docs works. There's plenty of easy directions to follow. The calender is accessible and editable by multiple parties. Perfect. Thanks, Buzz Crew.

    Great place for belts - CHEAP

    My belt was fine. If I over tightened my new belt, mine would have shred too. I'm not sure how fast the Altec is going through belts, but the belt I blew out before buying this new one was 15 years old.

    Did My Chipper Throw a Rod?

    So far I've heard it could be a crank, rod, or woodruff key. It's in the shop now to be diagnosed on Monday. What does it mean if the engine is using a lot of oil, but you don't see any smoke? Bad rings?

    Need an online calender to share job details

    Does anyone use something online which is in the form of a calender, and multiple people from different computers or mobile devices and access this calender and all can edit it too? We need to share job details on a calender between sales and management. Management is me, and I need to know...

    You don't think it's a broken crankshaft?

    What has happened to my chipper

    Yes. Just imagine any old pickup truck engine's fan pulley with a cutter disc connected to it by a big belt. It's as simple as that. The fan pulley always spins as long as the engine is turning over. In the case of this chipper you have to drop the lever which tightens the belt between the...

    Did My Chipper Throw a Rod?

    It's a mid 90s Vermeer. The handle to engage the disc pushes a third wheel up into the belt from the engine pulley to the disc pulley. The third wheel tightens the belt's connection, and disc goes to spinning. The engine's drive shaft is always spinning even during idle like the clutch shoes...

    Did My Chipper Throw a Rod?

    I posted this in the Rubber Hits the Road forum, but I thought this would receive more attention here: We were running the chipper for 8 hours a day for a few days, and the operator showed me that one of the disc axle sheaves had completely unbolted. As the bolts vibrated loose the disc was...

    What has happened to my chipper

    The drive shaft spins all of the time until you engage the belt with the disc. Actually there is no clutch. The drive shaft is connected to the disc by a belt, and you drop the lever to engage the belt between the drive pulley and the disc pulley. Because the drive shaft is no longer...

    What has happened to my chipper

    I just dropped it off at the dealership to be looked at. I bet the engine is done with. Is a clutch an easy replace job?

    What has happened to my chipper

    We were running the chipper for 8 hours a day for a few days, and the operator showed me that one of the disc axle sheaves had completely unbolted. As the bolts vibrated loose the disc was spinning at an angle eating the anvil with the knives. I bolted the sheave and disc back up, and I...

    How can I run a business without "Employees"?

    Re: How can I run a business without \"Employees\"? How much did you solo subcontractors charge for your work? The deal I have right now is $25hr plus fuel and dump costs.

    How do palm trees die of old age?

    Well how do you know if you are climbing a palm tree that's too old? A guy might pull the head of the palm off on himself.
