Wayne Wood chipper

[TKEP]

Just purchased a 12 Wayne wood chipper. Anyone got a quick 101 on changing the blades.

Thanks

Woodchuck style.

I believe they use the serrated type like the Woodchucks, is that correct?
There are 4 or 5 funny little 5/8 nipple bolds that hold them in place?

it's good to buy extra nipple bolts and when they get stuck you just cut them out with a sawsall or grinder.
Also there is a special 5/8 wrench that you can by from an Altec dealer, the bolts as well.
Altec bought Woodchuck and they still use that system in there new drum chippers.

that could be a problem. Go online and look for machine shop supplies or go to your local machine shop. 5/8th can be had but I dont know about 1/2".
You could remove the pockets (they just press out) and drill out the pocket holes to fit a 5/8 set up.
If there is enough steel to do that.
