In that case, take the time while the drive belt is in good condition to take the belt guard off and roll the drive belt around so you can get the OEM part number off it.  That's the only thing I have ever needed for mine, and it may not be an off-the-shelf item with your local supplier.  You can burn a belt on that system in a matter of seconds and find yourself loosing a weekend of work just because you don't have a spare.

The shredder blades appear to be square flails which gives then four 
cutting edges that can be swapped around as needed.  The chipper blade 
is two sided and appears to be easy to change around.   The engine is an 
8 hp B&S manufactured in 1991.  That is how I got the age, by looking up 
the numbers stamped on the engine shroud. Being like new it does not 
need anything but I am just thinking of later.  As near as I can tell it 
sold for around $2000 when new.
