Splitter has a boo boo

Thanks. Good to know.

 

TROGDOR!!!!

 

Sorry no commonality, just. TROGDOR!!!

 

What does that mean?

 

The crack is repairable by any good shop; it is the problems inside the engine that will probably mean it is a through-away as parts have gotten expensive these days.

 

No, the crack is a problem too, cast aluminum, it will continue to get worse.. even if repaired....

 

Not if you take it to the correct shop; to make sure the stress is relieved drill a small hole at both ends of the crack; Dad taught me this. Then you can fill the small holes when you have the case brazed. The problem is that the crank is probably shot and the connecting rod is most likely what caused the crack in the case when the bearing seized; just a guess as I have not looked inside of the engine..

 

Just called F&F and the new engine is being installed this PM. I might be able to get it home by the weekend.

 

He's just being funny.

 

Ok..... it's shot. That's why the OP is swapping It out.

 

Sounds like a plan man, get you a new motor and you will be ready to rock :stacke:

 

With all of the acronyms floating around here, it is hard to know.

 

TROGDOR, isn't an acronym, it's a way of life. Right bobdog?
Your Tecumseh has been

 

Burninated like a villager....

 

Boo Boo all better now. Pretty good service at F&F. Brought the splitter in on Monday, they had to order the engine, and it was done on Friday. May get a chance to see how it works this weekend.

 

Back in business

 

That's good service, back up n runnin

 

I split a little bit of red oak today and the splitter runs fine. It starts easier than the Tecumseh.

 

Super nice!

A swisher that i own has a similar engine, it has become
quite stubborn to start.

 

SHHH I don't want my new B&S to hear that I struggled for years to get the old engine running, especially when it was cold. Having it sit in the sun for a little bit helped a lot in getting it started.
