Chipper Chinese chipper ... again

[GrayBeard]

I went to check out the chipper today.It seemed like a pretty good machine .
The dealer let me put some brush thru it and the only thing I noticed was at lower rpm (starting) the flywheel seemed to be dragging on something.(lite clicking noise)
He didn't seem to concerned ;saying she'll rub off the high spots ???
None the less, it worked well and he offered a pretty good price , delivered.
I'm still trying to decide. Chinese vs. used ProMark 210, in good shape, 1100.00.

The dragging *may* be the feed roller drive pully hitting the cover. Mine's really a tight fit and if I don't get the cover on just right, I get a ticking noise.

It's only 6 bolts to pull the cover off and take a look.
