Bearing
Quite a bit of work involved in replacing these. Parts were reasonably priced.

Whew!
Super nervous about replacing both bearings on my chipper but it went better than planned.
The unit itself was slightly damaged when the bearing went out. Pounded things straight, and used washers to beef up where the bolts go through the unit housing.
But the bearings were the easy part. A bit of effort to remove, but went on clean and easy.
Cleaned and maintained the engine before remounting...Lined up the belt, and started chipping.
Cheers!

Superior to Original
This was a replacement bearing for a 25 year old Bearcat Chipper. The chipper should have been built with this bearing. It is superior in every way. The addition of a greasing point would have most likely saved the old bearing. Replacement took 20 minutes.

Tool Type
Chipper Shredder
Difficulty
Hard
Time
More than 2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Wrench Set, Allen wrenches, wheel puller, hand grinder
Parts Used
1. Pulled engine and limb chute
2. Removed Allen bolts from bearings and pulleys
3. Removed belt
4. Unbolted old bearings from frame
5. Remove rotor if free from bearings. If not use wheel or bearing puller to remove. A good time to resharpen blades and repair rotor if needed.
6. Refit new bearings and reassemble.
Good luck it's not easy but doable with the proper tools
Caution: Make sure the clearance between rotor knives and limb chute are close as possible, very hard to see or measure, adjust before setting and tightening allen bolts.

Bearing wore out
Timothy - November 1, 2018
Tool Type
Chipper Shredder
Difficulty
Hard
Time
1-2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Socket set, Adjustable Wrench, Pipe wrench and pipe cheater bar
The locking collar, the rotor pulley and the bearing itself did not come off easily. The locking collar was the toughest to remove. I tried everything suggested from YouTube videos without success including WD40, Acetic acid to dissolve the "rust bond" between collar and shaft, two types of torches to heat and lost of banging. What does work is using a pipe wrench on the collar in both directions while simultaneously prying up the bearing from behind with a pry bar. It took me three days of failed YouTube attempts and one night of remembering I had pipe wrenches stored somewhere. The 2 foot long cheater bar was important also to give effortless torque. Because this was the bearing next to the motor, the whole job took about 2 hours excluding all the wasted time and effort from other "expert" advice.
