    The hydraulic hose repair shop, I guess. :D

    Hope that oil wasn’t piping hot, Keith!

    Crazy, it gave you a bruise through 2 shirts? Wow!

    Any sign of the hose going before it blew?

    Well, sure glad it wasn't hotter, and that it didn't go through your skin, as it certainly can, which I understand is a pretty serious injury!
    I'd say 45 years is a pretty good run!

    Can’t like that, I’m glad you’re okay. High pressure oil injected into the body has quite a few unique issues. Glad you find out first had.

    Welp, dad and I just happened to get sprayed a while ago too. Not nearly as bad, basically a light shower. I got to the throttle quick.

    Glad we weren’t on the other side!

    Can’t like that either. Glad yous guys are okay. Is that considered cheating to have fire starter on the splits/ seasoning?

    High pressure hydraulic oil does make a mess. I have seen large equipment have hose breaches. Wow what a mess.

    Lol. We could sell it as match light firewood.
    What fluid got on the muffler started a fire quick, glad it didn’t last long.

    Yikes! That would have sucked!

    One of the reasons I pull mine in the garage after I'm done using it for the day. I want to limit the UV exposure to the hoses. It's only sitting outside when it's being used.

    40+ years is impressive!

    Wow, another oil bath! Glad nobody was hurt.
    Is that the oil filter gasket hanging out that I see there?
    Think it was a lil loose, or just too much back pressure with that filter inline there?

    This was the first time I ran 100% throttle w/ the new pump, I usually back down from max a small scoch. Definitely filter o-ring but I'm unsure if that's all. In the first pic I posted, is that threaded hole supposed to have a plug of some type? I don't recall noticing it during the relocation.
