    As I was just starting to split up a bunch of Ash....

    This splitter came with the house we bought in Sept. of '06, and I have no idea how long the PO owned it.
    Anyway, is this a replaceable part, or do I need the whole shebang? (No, not a whole new splitter:rolleyes:)
    This is on the opposite end......it says Energy.

    Nah, no Magilla Gorilla here. :)
    I had just split a round and pushed the lever to retract, and it popped.
    Fatigue is my guess. It's a cast part. It's the little cover piece held on with a couple allen screws.

    Looks like a piece broke off of the end cap of the valve, is that what it is?

    Yep. The lever attaches to it.
    I may have found a replacement part, but there also may be different versions depending on the model. Valve Lever Bracket - 718-0523
    I have no idea.......yet.

    See if this helps: Energy Hydraulic IPL :) part # 6 626264B bracket with screws

    http://www.energymfg.com/pdf/17498X.pdf

    Log Splitter Valve and Accessories by Energy® Manufacturing Company, Inc. $16.97

    Ebay has the MDT for $16.99 free ship- energy may just be the hydraulics used on many log splitter brands.

    Thanks ChipsFlyin , that's the exact part I found, and it seems to match the broken bracket.
    Is there any major pressure there to be concerned about? Doesn't seem so.

    I feel a little silly now, since I should have looked first, then asked for verification later, but hey, it gave you guys something to do.......right?
    Right?:rofl: :lol:
    Doesn't look like I can get it from TSC, so I may have to order and wait. Unless of course, someone finds another source.
    That's what's great about this place. So many folks helping with info.:yes:
