Rebuilding a Craftsman 5hp Chipper/Shredder - Will It Run?
Getting an old Craftsman/MTD chipper/shredder running again. The last time it was used it didn't chip or shred very well. Replacement of the cutting components internally are overdue. However, because it has been sitting idle for so long, it no longer runs so a diagnosis and repair of the 5hp Briggs & Stratton will also be required.
The engine in this machine is a Briggs & Stratton model number 133412-0059-01. After a full diagnosis, the chipper/shredder required the following replacement parts:
1) Small engine carburetor. The original one was too far corroded to be used again. Also, an exact replacement is no longer manufactured, so the one purchased needed a slight modification for it to work properly.
2) Chipper Blade Set. The originals were very beat up, very rusty, and extremely dull and didn't cut or shred anything.
3) Flail Cutters. There is a total of four sets mounted the the rotating drum inside the unit. Two sets were so worn that they moved laterally and were making contact with parts they weren't supposed to make contact with.
4) Pull Start Recoil Assembly. The original pull starter had a cord that was old and brittle and had been broken and spliced together several times previously. Also the recoil spring was worn to the point where it wouldn't retract the cord all the way. 5) Shredder Screen. This is a grate inside the chipper housing that the flails pass through to pulverize the contents contained therein.
5) Engine Air Filter. 3-1/2" x 7" x 1-1/8". The old was was dirty to the point it was restricting airflow into the engine.
6) PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst. The unit had a lot of rust, especially in the shredder housing so PB blaster was used to help free rusted nuts and bolts for the blades and also to free up the action of the flail cutters.
After refurbishing, the unit runs very well and chips and shreds all brush and branches very quickly without breaking a sweat.

    For years I ran a series of 48" bush hogs behind a 17hp Bolens G174. It had three PTO gears and the 720 range seemed the most likely for mowing. It certainly worked well on the Woods finish mower which came with it. So I spun the bush hogs at 720 and got pretty good results. When I bought a more powerful Kubota with 540 pto, the quality of the cut diminished drastically.

    The problem i encountered after purchasing the quick hitch, new top hook, and bushing's is it's only Category 0 compliant. I found the 5/8 lifting pins to be undersized and extremely lose fitting on my 3 point lift arms. The 5/8 lifting pins are only rated for Category O and tractor's up to 20 horsepower. I found the undersized pins to be the deal breaker. I don't know why they designed the hitch with such small pins - very disappointed.

    I just bought a Stihl post hole digger, you have to wrestle it a bit but saves messing around with the installation of this tractor auger. I quite enjoy using it. If you are only doing one big job, fencing for example, I would rent one of those hydraulic post hole diggers from Homedepot if I didn't have the Stihl. I don't rate augers on the back of tractors at all and front augers are seriously expensive - around $2500 from what I saw this week at the Kubota dealer.

      I assume you are talking about the blades not spinning when you engage the PTO. Check the drive belt. If it is an electric PTO, it won't engage if there isn't a load on the system and could indicate a broken blade drive belt.
