I bought a 1890 BB chipper for an astoundingly good deal . The init had zero scratches , dent , dings notta.It does not smoke either, but it uses about a gallon of oil for every 4 hours hard chipping.The machine came from a utility and we think when they bought it new they let it get to hot and messed up the rings, the scrapers i recon.Anyhow even though its burning oil , you cant really see much if any smoke.It will blirt out smoke when first fired up a whitish looking smoke ,but once running its a beast.
my dilemia is whether or not to change out this engine or just feeding her oil.
I can go through 5 gallons ina week.Another thing is this chipper is freaking huge , we like it of course but its almost overkill.
I need to either , just run it and feed her oil untill shes gone , build the moter , or get a replacement engine.
I like that idea because you get two years warrenty.
Then again i could sale it but i dont know how much its worth.
i wouldnt want to be dishonest about the oil usage but i seriously doubt anyone would notice.
What do you guys think ?
