Got it out. I just kept drilling with a 7/16ths long drill bit, and whacking on the other end with a big, long bolt. Eventually it came out. My...
$3 at the salvage yard got me this. I'm having trouble getting the handle out tho. Any suggestions? [IMG]
Good luck on converting to battery powered chainsaws. I see the prices on battery powered Milwaukee tools and congratulate myself for sticking...
I've seen some great buys on 25 to 35 ton splitters at Lowes and at the local farm supply store. Lowes had a 35 ton for $1,200, but I don't know...
