sure would be nice if we could find a chunker as fast as the big chipper machines. I gess we will have too enjoy the work out chunking wood one chunk at a time for now. probbly a good roller bar conveyer manual too move full baskets away from the chop drop area would help quit a bit.I gess i will be checking aution for a deal now that you reminded me of the woood build up under the chunk frame. Thanks for the design ideas thought checks.

Where is your truck axle chunker?
I believe you had the least powered chunker with a 1 HP MOTOR.
My 2 HP 34 RPM chunker is still going strong after about 10000 lbs of wood chunking.

Ok thanks mike gibb, I still have the axel chunker been too biuzy too use and found some nice 2 and 3 horse elec motors at my dads shop. while cleaning up too resale.i just happened on too this bailer on conversation from guy seen Some aluminum heads heading too auction, was talking about wood gas trucks later at my home, when he said he had 2 he was parting out, decided on tradeing small block chevy parts and a good 400 turbo truck transsmission.So there it is rolling up the parrents house 10 accers road out too the main road after stoping by too see what was left too move before turning keys over toonew owner of property. SOLD THE HOUSE. THOSE hay bailer gear box look a little smaller in person though they have a good 2 3/4" output shaft on the at the arm conection.Wayne has the best one with those dump truck axels. see how this works with 2 and 3 horse motors for now, the bailer has a better inturnal gearing ratio 0f 9 too 1 that may help, waynes dump truck axel IS 6 too 1 or 600 gear, SWEM.

Good evening mike gibb , are you or chris able too remove the arm that the cutting wheel welds too,after all the welding and gusset plateing, Thanks.

I am not Mike gibb or Chris. Mine is removeable if you can get the rusted spline apart I welded a 1/2 inch plate to the arm then I welded a 3/8 plate to the inside the cutter head. bolted the two together so if I have problems with the cutter head I can remove it to work on it or replace it. Since we weld the plate to the arm all the way around It would probably be hard to remove the arm but it is simple to make the cutter head removable.
