A most informative how-to video. I have the same, exact chipper/shredder which was sold under the MTU brand. It's been a solid performer. It's heavy, and I can just barely pick it up. The maintenance on the blades and engine have always fallen into my hands. Most recently, I sharpened the blades and was curious how the impeller would be removed.

I believe they make a removal tool for this, it's stepped like your drawing, you screw it in and it pushes the impeller off

@@johncates5081 Yes, there is always a tool. Finding it to purchase (for a reasonable price, and when you need it) is the trick!

Useful video. Now I know not to try to shred my garden pruners 😀

When I think about this, could you have put a pin in a little longer than the shaft and then screw the bolt down onto it? Going to try right now :-D

Not sure what you mean but give it a go and let me know. What you describe sounds to me like the models that have a thread inside the impeller body. (which mine doesn't).

@@oldhobo5610 I think he means instead of a 1 piece it would be 2 pieces .. just a solid pin with no threads that you drop into the crankshaft that sticks up a little higher than the end of the crankshaft then use a regular bolt.. same thing you have in the drawing but cut it into 2 pieces where the 2 sizes meet

That looks like a MTD 3-in-1 chipper impeller. It looks identical to my MTD.

For sure. Either there is one major manufacturer or there are lot of cloned designs out there.
