Replacement Clutch

Still trying to fix the wood chipper.

new piece

There were no parts available, but after hours of searching, I found one similar enough on Ebay.

It fits the driveshaft and belt and all, but is 18mm shorter.
I assume, that the driveshaft's thickness (19mm) kind of limits how much the max torque for this thing would be, but there is nothing I can do, except try.

possible solution

The original part also had a spacer behind it.
I'll try to using an M20 bolt in front of it and grinding it down until it fits.
(So that the belt runs straight).

meanwhile

I had enough other things to do, as everything is starting to grow vigorously now.
I mowed again.

rhubarb propagation

Last year, I divided and transplanted rhubarb.
It looks promising now.

more rhubarb

...in another spot.
...9 separate plants in total (yet all clones).

random flowers

...all over the place.

no rain

I am hoping for a good season, but I am afraid, this will be a seriously dry year.
It's mid april and it simply doesn't rain.

I'll blog about it...

Even though one of your machines is broken down your garden is looking great

Hope the new clutch fixed it.

I'll try fitting it again tomorrow, if it goes well, I'll still have to order a replacement belt :(
