Chipper/Shredder

[aarolar]

Does anyone have pictures of the IH shredder and how it mounts and tensions on the front of a cub. I am wanting to build a chipper and I would ideally like to mount it on the front of the cub to keep from having another motor to maintain but need to have an example of how to mount and tension it.

I forget who gave me these pictures but here you go.

Thanks, what I have in my head right now is to put slots in the quick attach and make it slide up and down and eliminate the jackshaft entirely.

Something you might not have consider/knew, they are not a "chipper” they are a Hammer mill for leaves and small twigs about your small finger in diameter.
If you are wanting to “chip” larger limbs, you will be disappointed.
They work well for yard rakings or making compost from leaves
I gave mine away, as I wanted a chipper.
it Works ok for cracking corn for chickens, but a little dusty.

I understood you were building your own, but I thought you were staying along the Ih design,my bad.
The chipper in the link looks to be more robust than the IH hammermill.
