Hi, I borrowed a small gas powered wood chipper from a neighbor. The valve stem on one of the wheels cracked off and the tire went flat. I ordered the same exact wheel (10" hand truck wheel by Arnold Parts). I'm kinda confused because it's not super-apparent (to me) how to remove the existing wheel.
Photos here:
Cut the push nut off. They're a one-shot deal and a hardware store should have a replacement.
I don't necessarily know the 'right way' to remove that kind of retaining clip, (6th photo), but what I do is simply destroy it with the idea that I'm going to replace it with a new clip during reassembly.
Ok, thanks for responses. I'm used to cotter pins through the shaft, not these retaining clips/push nuts. So, I just measure the diameter of the shaft and go to hardware store asking for a "push nut" of that size?
if not available locally, you can on-line order here
Yes. Around here I'd go to Tractor Supply or Murdoch's Ranch but Ace Hardware should have them in the aisle with the slide out boxes for onesie-twosie odd hardware.
Theoretically you can get them off but I've never had much luck except for the real small ones.
I thought someone fed a tire into the wood chipper.
Maybe to make shredded rubber for a highway.
You never know what someone will do.
Haha!... you're 100% right. And I even TRIED to be clear and still ended up with a double-meaning/ridiculous title.
That's better than having a human femur jammed in a chipper. That takes some 'splaining.
Just ask the CT state police. Not a good idea to put your wife through the chipper, you go to jail.

Sopranos? There was a case in Connecticut where the body was disposed of in this manner...

Sorry Ed, hadn't read this for when I made my post. Chop chop...
When Tony got rid of Big Pussy he did it the old fashioned way, concrete blocks, chain and deep water. Far less evidence you have to hide.
In the movie "Fargo", the character played by Steve Buscemi is run thru a chipper by the character played by Peter Stormare.
Peter is shown pushing Steve's foot and shin into the chipper when the lady cop stops him.
I was thinking 'Fargo'. The movie, not the spinoff.
