Olathe 172 chipper knives?

[jedwa1216]

Hi,

I need to make sure I am ordering the correct knives for this chipper. It is an Olathe 172 (12 inch drum, six cylinder Ford engine) Simonds gave me one size and Zenith told me something totally different. Can someone tell me the correct size knives for this chipper?

One of the knives that was in it broke off and well you know the rest. I want to make sure I put it back together correctly. If anyone has a manual for it I could use that too. thanks, Jeff

pull the old knives and measure them
many places can sharpen them as well
