IH chipper/shredder

[RAllison]

I have an IH chipper/shredder mounted on a small trailer so I can pull it around,it has its own motor. I know that there we're versions of these that were driven from the tractors motor. My question is,how was the the drive set up to transfer the belt from the tractor to the chipper. I'm interested in possibly fabricating something along those lines if I can.

My tractors are a127and147

Here Ya go Bob!
But......
These were all built for WF Cubs so you will have to take that into account when fabbing up a drive system.
Id' start with a QA mower frame from a NF (or WF for that app) and go from there.
If you need, I can snap some pictures of mine and maybe even a sketch or two.
My neighbor is a CAD guy, maybe we model this framework & parts on Solid works or the like. I'll talk to him this weekend and run it by him. We can get all the measurements off my unit.

Thanks Dave,pics and a sketch would be great if you get a chance!

I do have a spare NF frame and mule drive

Well, you can use the "ears" from it as a pattern then to make parts #3 & #4.
That's kind of like what I did to make the combo mule drive/weight box for my #2 tiller I use on the 1650.

Put a new ignition coil on the motor for the chipper and got her running last night. Out of curiosity I sent two 5 gallon buckets of rabbit manure thru it to see what would happen...instant dirt,worked out great!!!

Bob, is that an ash tree in the background?
If so, how are they holding up?.
We lost 2 more here recently, most of them BIG ones, to the bugs bringing the total to 6 so far.

No,all our ash are pretty much gone Dave. That's a monster sycamore,I have 3 of them on the property.
