Looks good SawAddictedFarmer and good call on the Majic Hardener it will aide in the oil n gas/general chemical resistance to the paint. -Acetone will flash off/dry faster as its only really one thing. -Lacquer Thinner is a mix of a few solvents including acetone. It thins oil base paint but...

EDIT: I see this is from 2 year ago but whatever I think its a MTD Split-It but its old, like +20 years. I doubt they are the same now and often these home owner type splitters have varying components over their production model lifespan. Also that is probably not the OE motor, most likely...

IMO to fix/mod your splitter with your purchased steel and maybe a bit of his and welding/fab time is worth about 2 cords of wood cut & split by you. That’s not moving the logs long distance by you either. He piles/gathers the logs where he wants it, or moves the split wood to dry storage if the...

^This For Sure^ Dyeing the fluid helps speed up the bleeding process.....color the bottle not the brake reservoir fluid. Once your fluid turns to the dye color you know its flushed! This is BLUE dye for like $10 bucks. That little bottle is a life time supply at 7-8 drops in a quart of...

Ya when it goes blue its definitely gotten too hot. If you need to go cheap and have a welder you can always make a grinder with a massive stone and a belt drive motor, but finding a stone on the cheap is usually the issue. They are freaking expensive, a 20" by 2-3" wide is easily over...

Google search : “leather overstitch wheel” They are only to mark the stitch pattern not punch through the leather. They are good for marking tight curves. A stitching fork or “pricking iron” is used with a hammer to go right through the leather for stitch hole making on straight runs of...

What chipper is it? There are many blade configurations depending on the size. If its a big commercial chipper with the 6-8" long planer looking blades. Id say a machine tool grinder like this if its got a slow rpm setting...

looks like old-skool jet pump parts, kinda works like the stack impeller plate thing on a shop vac

Those are lather working tools, specifically the roller ends are stich markers that you trace along a pattern for a certain # stitch count. Ive also seen them used to transfer a chalk pattern to a soft material or fabric. The larger wheel might be a perf cutter for leather as it kind-a looks...

Scored 3 hard storage cases off eBay for cheap! No shipping ,local pick-up on my way home from work. With wheels and handles about 30x20x15 They will be put to good use for sure.

I got one of those flux core china cheep-O’s off Amazon for $83shipped and it works surprisingly well. It’s going to live at the hunting cabin just to be an emergency fix for w/e.

If that’s your tank and mount configuration….its terrible and will fail again. The mount needs way more then those little angles supporting the motor

The new tanks are built different in terms of the motor mounting bracket......way better

If thats like all the other splitter Ive seen your other problem is the tank is built out of like 12-14g steel sheet and its not strong enough to be a real support for the motor. Particularly when driving, the bouncing is putting all the stress on the tank wall. You need to weld on that plae...

:facepalm:mmm LoL . .
