Need Help Identifying an OLD Chipper

Gauge · Mar 25, 2011

First of all, thanks for having me as a member. This site is amazing!!

Anyway, this is my first post and I am hoping that someone can help me identify a wood chipper I bought today. It's an older machine, but it runs great. There is no tag anywhere on it, but there is something I found that says Rover Patented Anvil. It's a disk chipper. It has an air cooled 4 cylinder engine that's in a V configuration. Can anyone tell me who made this machine. Does anyone know anything about it. I would LOVE to find a manual for it, but being it's so old, I doubt that's possible.

Thanks!!

Well, today I confirmed that it has a Wisconsin VG4D engine. Still have no idea who made the chipper. It's a super simple design. The entire chipper is like a clam. Loosen three wing nuts and it hinges in the middle and you can easily access the chipper disk.

WOW!!! I haven't seen that in years. I used to run one of those at least 15 years ago and mine looked exactly the same. Look on the chip chute for a name. I think it started with an R but might be wrong. The motor is a Wisconsin VG4D and it uses and oil bath in the bottom of the air filter. Keep a can of some sort on the exhaust so water from rain doesn't get into the motor. (Found that out the hard way) The manifold is up top and rain gets in.

It's a 6" capacity disk chipper, manual feed. Pretty good for small cleanups. I bought it from a campgrounds that used it after storms on the property. Ga smotor wasn't too bad either.
