- @regsparkes6507 asked how to change the belts on a Powerfist 420 cc / 15 hp wood chipper from Princess Auto. It took me a while to figure it out. I hope you find the video useful. If you do, return the favour by liking, subscribing, commenting, sharing, etc.
Thank you so much for the demo! I havd a similar model but under different brand and my belts broke and the bold from the clutch disc got loose(found it in the belt cover) and was clueless as the manual did not cover replacing the belts. Your clip really really helped me! Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Hi, @cosminurdea! Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. May you have a truly glorious week!
That’s more trouble than I want to go thru. I guess that’s why I got a Champion chipper/shredder. Direct drive and clean out ports-no fuss no muss!!
I think I just saw (1:04) in this video where the *missing/hidden* grease fitting is that I asked about in another video this morning. woot
Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the very helpful tutorial. Saved me a great deal of time. Best Regards!
Hi, @christophercraig2615. Glad you found it helpful. Not sure why PA deletes every review that mentions the video. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. I just posted a video on how to flip the blades when they get dull. May you have a truly wonder filled new year!
So helpful 😊 I swear the best for you. Long life. Merci
Hi, @serge752. Glad you found it helpful. Not sure why PA keeps deleting any reviews that mention or link to the video. Anyway, thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. May you and yours prosper this year!
Great demo. Clear, and we'll paced. I have a Forrest West. The same machine, different colour. I just needed to adjust tension on the belts. Of course, no instruction in the manual. Your demo was really helpful.
Hi, @tecsonics. Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. It sure helps other find the video. May you have a glorious week!
I'm sure there could have been a better design than this,.. but there you go, Chinesium made!
You way of changing the belts is radically different and far better from another brand but same machine, I watched as he used two heavy screwdrivers to pry the belts off one at a time,.. OUCH!
Hi, Reg. Hopefully you will find it helpful when the time comes. Thanks again for suggesting the video, for watching the video, and for leaving a comment.
On your machine, have the 3 screws that hold the wire cage on over the muffler come loose yet? Mine fell out. Twice. I replaced them, and then the wire cage broke. PA doesn't have a replacement, but they offered to pay for having it repaired.
@@ByTheGraceOfGod316 You are most welcome, and Thank YOU!
@@ByTheGraceOfGod316 No, not yet,.. I'll check them, and if they do, I'll drill each bolt head and 'tie wire' them so this won't happen again.
Thanks. I am very mindful of maintenance, and I'll re-check all bolts after this oil change ( this coming weekend. )
Thanks for the 'alert'.
Very nice tutorial video . Thanks for sharing !!
Great demo. Hoping my belt never breaks!
It may never break, but they do wear out. If you look around the belt cover of your chipper, you will likely see a black powder from the belt.
@@ByTheGraceOfGod316 😭 I can’t imagine going through all that hassle for a belt but at least I’ll know HOW when the evil day arrives!
Hi, @@MC-pg2ko . Thanks for commenting. I am sure the day will arrive, and likely at the most inopportune time. As you say, at least you will know what you are getting into. You may want to start looking for a belt now. PA has been out of stock since well before I filmed the video.
HI, thank you for responding to the pully question. my wood chipper like yours has two Orange knobs. one is the dipstick and the other one is exactly on the other side. What is the second orange knob for? God bless.
It is also an oil level spot, only without the dipstick. The engine gets used on different types of equipment. Some need access to the dip stick or fill port to be on the other side.
It appeared that tensioning the belt was done by adjusting the two centre bolts (between pulleys).. is this correct?
Hi, @tecsonics. The two bolts between the pulleys just align the belt guard. The two long bolts between the engine and the output shoot re the ones that tension the belt by pushing the engine backwards. Hope that helps. May something truly awe inspiring happen to, or for you!
HI, how did you remove the pully?
Hi, @sidneyfreeman5545. I don't think I removed either of the the pulleys. If you tilt the engine, as I did in the video, you don't need to remove any of the pulleys. Let me know if I am remembering incorrectly.
Hi, @sidneyfreeman5545. I rewatched the video to refresh my memory. The pulley just slid off. It wasn't a struggle at all. That said, I don't think you need to remove the pulley. You should be able to get the belts off & back on by just tipping the engine.
Доброе время суток хотела задать вопрос почему вы подписываете в миллиметрах какая метрическая система УАЗ в Канаде Дмитрий😊😊
Мы используем метрическую систему здесь, в Канаде. Не то, чтобы нам, пожилым людям, это нравилось, но это то, что у нас есть.
Thanks for the video. I am wondering if there might be an easier way to remove the belt, along the lines noted here: ua-cam.com/video/pfJ1feeOFm8/v-deo.html. If you wedged the two screwdrivers in the lower pulley, you might be able to lever the belt off without needing to loosen anything on the wood chipper. Just a thought...thanks again for a helpful video.
Hi, @phildoc7730. That might work and be easier, but I was trying to show how a person my age, or with reduced strength, might do it. Anyway, thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. May you have something truly awe inspiring happen to, or for, you this week!
