chipper winches

[PCTREE]

What motor you looking for ?? I got a bunch laying around.

 

[brendonv]

I'd need one to operate the winch. I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for.

 

[sotc]

all right brendan, should be what you need here

 

[brendonv]

Your the man!

 

[sotc]

hope that helps

I'm not understanding what the levers for. I figured it would be to free spool the drum, I just don't see it.

The two levers on the side should be for the feed wheels on the chipper,no?

 

[brendonv]

The lever on the winch.

 

[sotc]

it is, thats the most confusing part which is why i added the under shot. you see 2 bolts on the lever, the bottom bolt just has a square head on the inside that rides in the groove you see in the underneath shot. the grooved piece is connected to the shaft by a key in the shaft so its always turning. make sence?

The lever on the winch.

Oh right, sorry,duh....

 

[brendonv]

I think I got it, the lever side is the business end. The side where the motor is, is just a pillow block. Too advanced for Brendon's homebrewness.

 

[sotc]

right, its just a through shaft so the drum is just sitting on the shaft till the lever is engaged. a simpler way would be to feed the slack out, only down side is its a little slower

 

[brendonv]

Do you know your chippers GPM? What's the speed like on that motor? I found one.....

 

[sotc]

i dont know the gpm, prolly not to hard to find. its a model 13. its not super fast but is waaay faster than electric. full throttle would be a real fast walking pace

 

[brendonv]

Willie, one more favor.

What are the dimensions on the drum? The diameter/length of the pipe the rope wraps around, and the diameter of the 2 paddles on the ends.


How much rope you have on there? Looks liek 3/8"? I am thinking 100-150" would be nice.

 

[sotc]

yup, tomorow. i dont remember how much line is there. started with 1/2" stable braid but couldnt fit much on. thats the stuff from sherrils, black widow or something like that. around 7000lb and 3/8". its worked well

 

[sotc]

looks like i missed a day
anyway the shaft that goes through the drum is 1 1/8" dia. part the rope winds around is 3" dia. side walls are 10" diam. forgot to measure across but id say about 8"

 

[brendonv]

Thanks you sir!
