I had to google that.
I never came across the word lilac.
...very common around here. (We call it Flieder)
Smells even better than it looks.
the usual stuff...
I think I have finally fixed the wood chipper.
I actually found an old rusty M20 nut, sawed some of it off and it fits.
I also had to drill a hole in the thing, just so I can stick something in there, so that I can actually tighten the bolt, without turning the whole driveshaft with it.
I butchered half the piece trying to drill into it.
I could not get the drill any closer and had to drill at an angle and the thing kept spinning until I strapped it with cable ties.
Cringe.
I put it all together and fired up the engine and the clutch engaged.
Great success!
Observing this happen for the first time, I'd say: the clutch engaged from the first moment, instantly. Makes me wonder, how important it really is...
I still need a new belt and the nut is still a little too thick, so I have to take it all apart again.
Then, putting it back together properly, I need a second pair of hands, because I can't pull the engine block to tension the belt and tighten the screws for it at the same time.
What a hassle...
