I purchased a wood chipper yesterday. It's an Apache 240C. Aside from the surface rust, which is cosmetic, the belts are good, the bearings move freely & have no play, the blades are sharp & have alot of meat on them. I think I scored for $400...
After doing some searching, I came across a topic which stated the unit was built in the 80's by a company called WW Grinder, who went out of business. Even further google search came across a website specifically for WW Grinder made products, including info for the 240C.

However, the previous owner used it with his old Ford tractor who claimed it has 40hp and chewed through anything. I'm nervous about using it with my 17hp PTO B2320. In addition, should I use a PTO slip clutch?
