From your picture it looks to be around 3" or 4"  out of alinement. Part of that could be the camera angle.

Yeah that's it.  

The pic is also distorted for some reason. 

 

It's pretty straight.

So what did you do to get it “pretty straight” ?

There's an adapter that bolts to the front of the tractor frame. 

There's the chipper itself. 

Bolted to the chipper there is a piece that kind of hangs off of the tractor frame adapter.

 

That piece has four bolts in it and two of them were loose and rusted. I was not aware of that.

I looked at it for a minute last night while I was fiddling around with other things and I'm still not convinced it's solved, but it's definitely better. So I'm headed the right direction.

Two old Buddy‘s 

 

... Let‘s work Together c‘mon c‘mon let‘s work together

unrealistic ? No definitively not!

Remove the front inlet shield on the Mowerdeck for a easier pass thru, give her a brand new Belt,

let her use fresh sharpened Blades regrease all zerks and let the deck lifted the whole time and here we go..

 

high Grass mowing is absolute possible, it just chews a belt quicker than normal but so it works in 1st Gear.

 

We had a bet what my 55 Year old Wheelhorse is able to do.

- i ( respectively the Wheelhorse) won the Bet -

that give an extra Oilchange and a Wash and few pumps of fresh Grease.

 

 

ya think we‘re stupid huh ?

 

Yap, that could absolutely be happen, but we had a ton of Fun.

....and it give us a perfect Pict of the Day.

Possibly, or a work in progress at that point.

Got some seat time on the 175 this morning hauling scrap wood to the burn pile. Even used my Wheel Horse cart. I haven't done anything to it since the day I brought it home with the 656.

  Installed the missing head light lens and went with orange/amber lamps. I don’t see myself using this one at night ever so why not be a little different.
