Update... I took the gland to a hydraulic repair shop and got the seals matched up. I was SHOCKED at the cost. I had no idea, lol! It was $65. I...
I don't think it was jammed out of line. It would be great if this is my last question, lol. Ok, so, I can push it back the other way by whacking...
Welp... I knew there had to be more. At the other end of the rod is the piston. I think that piston has seals on it. Figure I should change those....
Very nice. I always love seeing round rounds, no kidding! I get a bunch of gnarly stuff!
I got it often as a kid, so bad I would have to stay out of school. One who is bad allergic can get Ivarest or similar product to not only treat...
That hole I spoke of, I have now found a video and I saw the same hole on his identical splitter. It appears to be a tad over 1/8" diameter. So,...
Anyone know... I have all the old oil out of the cylinder, which is still on the splitter. I will just take the gland to the shop for seal...
Hello, Countyline 25 ton splitter leaking where the rod comes out of the cylinder. Has been fifty years since I have dealt with hydraulics but I...

Do these require a special hard chain or just buck up like normal wood? If it's a problem, is it just the wood or do the trunks contain sand any...
Nice video, music, drone. Alder splits pretty easily, have never seen alder.
Can't believe dead trees last that long without a ton of rot for you guys. They sure don't around here. Not even close. In fact, they will fall...
That fellow was truly great at what he did, a top shelf actor. RIP.
That's awesome. I understand not wanting to pull from it and just admire it. How many cords is it? Is it all same species? How many cords you...
I wish I could find a dead ash. I rarely see them here. Scrounged one about three years ago that died in a neighbor's yard.
The wood inside does resemble mulberry but the bark sure doesn't. Don't have that much experience with black locust but that's been my guess since...
You are quite the carpenter/fabricator, great work all around! On your house there is a red star, does that have meaning? Looks like a Lone Star...
What is the purpose of that strip under the front edge? On the pic on the right, it is orange color. Something to fail? Maybe if you're digging...
That looks awesome, Brad. Do you use a jig to wrap your bundles? I have seen that many/most people sell bundles for $5. I don't know if the market...
