64 Asplundh Whisper Chipper,

[SeanJames]

looking for a cutter bar and any helpful info.

My first chipper was a ‘62 Asplundh

Good luck finding factory part

There is a guy who posts occasionally that refurbishes chippers. You should be able to find him using a Search

And if not him, easy machine shop fabrication.

Is it a hexagonal anvil/ cutter bar? Width?


A working 1962 chipper might hold a record.

Thing belongs in the museum of arbor culture.

"... what strikes us most in considering... (these chippers)...is not so much their diabolical barbarity, which it is indeed impossible to exaggerate, as the extraordinary variety, and what may have be termed the artistic skill, they displayed. They represent a condition of thought in which men had pondered long and carefully on all the forms of suffering, had compared and combined different kinds of torture, till they had become the most consummate masters of their art, had expended on the subject all the resources of the utmost ingenuity, and had pursued it with the ardour of a passion."

I’m a ‘54 model. Is there room in the museum?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Spend some time searching the archives. The term ‘JEX’ is coming to mind

I'm a '53 model. They would have us side by side in the display.

That's all? Scott Baker just hosted a 70th B-Day party for a certain old fart that you know..... just sayin'

 

[oldoakman]

Congratulations sir. I might retire when I hit that number.

Happy Birthday @Roger_Barnett

Thank you, Tom! It was! Scott Baker and friends threw a rockin' party for the old fart, just as he turned into decade number 7.... Close to 20 years ago, Scott had cut the butt lower of a 54" deodar that I removed..and had carved my initials in. It was the featured piece on the fire! Lotsa tree rats, and some ski buds, plus my 6 week old godson, were in attendance. Much Alaska Sockeye, other good food, and libations were imbibed. I left at 10 pm, for another party...not mine, but it was rad as well!
