Official MTD chipper/shredder parts

Most common MTD chipper shredder parts that need replacing

• Engine air filter. The engine air filter cleans the air entering the carburetor. Replace the air filter periodically, following the guidelines in the owner's manual.
• Carburetor. The engine carburetor mixes air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the cylinder for combustion.
• Recoil starter. The recoil starter spins the crankshaft to start the engine when you pull the rope.
• Engine gasket set. The engine gasket set includes all of the seals and gaskets for the engine on your chipper/shredder. Replace any gaskets that are damaged or leaking.

Installing the hopper on your MTD chipper/shredder

• Attach the hopper to the rotor housing. Make sure that you engage the metal lip of the hopper liner inside the rotor housing.
• Secure the hopper to the rotor housing using the mounting bolts and washers. Don't tighten the mounting bolts at this time.
• From inside the hopper, install the mounting bolts and washers into the upper lower holes of the metal hopper liner. Finger tighten the bolts at this time.
• Make sure that the hopper is seated correctly on the chipper/shredder then tighten all mounting bolts firmly.
