New to me WW Grinder chipper/shredder- how\'d I do?

After a hard day of burning brush that literally made me sick, I decided it was time for a chipper. Found this on ebay.

$750 WW Grinder "super apache". I pick it up tuesday. I'll le y'all know how she runs.

If it works as good as it looks, I'd say you did pretty good.

From what I can gather, no one makes these any more so you may have some problems finding parts. I found a possible source: mackley@ns.sympatico.ca
902-562-7330 - phone
902-564-4434 - fax
Not sure what they may have, I just found this on some discussion board. Looks like a good buy. I know that at one time Troybuilt was putting them out in an engine model, Craftsman and others, and the MTD and Murray both had some ownership at one time, but I think they all stopped. John

Thanks for the possible parts source. I knew going into it that the WW Grinder company was no longer (found that out with a search here on tbn).

Obviously the fabricated metal parts are machine specific, but I'm fairly confident that the parts that wear - bearings, belts, blades etc. can probably be found "off the shelf" with a little detective work.
