Chipper help with old chipper

walleyed · Sep 19, 2008

Hi All,
Been lurking and gathering info for quite a while but I haven't been able to find any information on this chipper. I got it real cheap and it seems to work . I haven't run any real wood through it just a few small sticks ( 1/2-3/4"). It has been sitting outside for a few years so has had rain, snow and leaves in it for a while. When I started it up some water came out it.

Can anyone help me with this thing? I would like to know make and model . If parts are available it would be great . It says on one label that it takes up to 5" size and 1" through the shredder. Also says up to 45 hp..

I think maybe it was made by simplicity but I haven't found a label to tell for sure. Some labels are covered in grease and some other sticky stuff. What could I use to clean that won't take the writing off with the grease

Hope the pics show up

Well I found out a few things. It is a simplicity/baker commercial chipper-shredder model 1692208. Needed younger eyes and a magnifying glass to read a tiny label. I found a parts manual here. pages 38-9, 50-1, 54-9

Looks like a good find so I'll tear it apart and inspect and repaint.

When I said real cheap I meant free.

All I had to do was haul some other scrap metal to the scrap dealer and that paid for the gas. This pic shows the label cleaned and readable, just not to my old eyes

Hey if there any more scrap piles like that, I'll come all the way from Michigan to help you out!

lol....ok I'll let you know

There are a few more tractor attachments kicking around this place. I going up later this week to do some other work for her.(replacing 6 windows) I'm planning on talking to the her about buying them. I've done contracting work for them for 4-5 years off and on. Still there is a Bushhog 5', rear blade 6' I think and some type of 3 pt sweeper. There was no brand names visable on any of them but I didn't look very close.

She offered the chipper to me while I was loading other scrap, she said it was junk. Now I feel kinda guilty

Maybe I should offer her some cash but I know she won't take it. He died last winter and I have been helping her get things cleaned up. Mostly for free. I think maybe it was given as payment for my help but I don't know???? I won't accept her money for clean up type work. I have considered them friends for a few years. I actually bought the 37Jag you can see in the pics from them and a couple other things in the past.
She still has a mint 1929 model A that I have to pick up for her in the next few weeks from some shady dealer that was supposed to be selling it for her
