Thanks for continuing to make great products right here in our country. I think I used the chipper once when I bought the machine 10 yrs ago and then refreshed my memory on how lame it was last year. By the way the chipper shredder is a great machine. combine having to trim every thing off the branch and not being able to chip anything not absolutely straight. It does a fairly decent job on leeves and twigs and stuff under a half inch through the shredder hopper but as far as chipping. It likes to bounce around the chipping hopper and trying to get another branch on it to push through is not so easy. It makes a HECK of a racket if you try to chip stuff bigger than an inch or so. Mine is the old style with the metal hopper as you can see below. Go ahead and spend the 50 cents for the oil for an extra oil change just in case. Bad oil, water in the oil, crud in the oil, will ruin them faster than you can imagine. Craftsman, a brand sold by Sears, created the Craftsman 8.5 horsepower chipper/shredder model 247.775880, which was first released in 1996. Those little briggs and stratton engines will run a LONG time as long as you take care of them. A chipper/shredder converts cut-down trees, bushes and branches into usable mulch. Run it to warm it up with fresh gas (dump what is in your gas can into the car when you get to the gas station to refill it) and make sure it does run, then change the oil again. The wood chip producing rate of this beast is amazing. It has been designed for more demanding applications where chipping bigger branches while shredding leaves and twigs at a faster pace is necessary. Our 2090 chipper shredder is 1-mean beast. Since you said it has been sitting for several years - please change the oil before you even try to start it. Chipper/Shredder, 14 HP Kohler CH4 chipper shredder is 1-mean beast.
