Just bought a used woodchuck wc-17 for $4000.
It has 1000 hours on it with the 6 cylinder gas ford engine, it runs suprisingly well.
However, the bottom roller feed wheel needs either rebuilt or a new bearing?
I cant find a damn manual for this thing anywhere, and i just need to know part specs so i can fix this issue.
The issue: bottom feed wheel sits slightly crooked, when chipping a piece that isnt a stranght log or stick (knuckle, Y crotch) the feeder wheels will both slow down if not stop, then its a back and forth game of using the reversal mechanism.
The hydraulic oil level is fine, belts seem ok for the most part.

If anyone has experience with rebuilding ot working on these please let me know thanks!
