This "fix it myself" project is over. I have messed up the spring trying to get it into the right position, even tried to wrap it around again for more tension. This saw is going to a shop or I am sending it to one of you guys to fix. I don't have the patience or the skills, which is why I have back up saws, and send out the broke ones. Fortunately, I seldom need any repairs. Thanks for your help and patience. We tried.

Don't be hard on your self I ve broken lots of stuff in the process of fixing them. That's part of learning.

Surely we can figure out somethin with some gum and wire. Lol.

Part of refurbing my splitter. Making a new/better hydraulic tank. Some of the parts came from Marc. Thanks buddy.
This will be better than the old tank, which was an old gas tank from the original hiway sign trailer.

Are you gonna have that ready by the 5th? I can bring my old workhorse. It ain't pretty but it splits wood. I prefer to call mine "custom built", but that's just a nice way to say I built it out of crap laying around the shop.

If breaking stuff is part of learning..... I should be a genius!

Seriously, +1 on WKEND LUMBERJACK's post. I've broken lots of stuff in the process of figuring something out.

I wish I had a dollar for everything I broke while trying to fix it, I'd probably have my own private island somewhere.
Like Hawaii.

The goal is to have it ready by the 5th. If I bring it to Thomas's, I'll probably have to put it on my trailer. The splitters tires aren't the greatest.

Marks floor looks OK for the most part.

Will they have to break out the areas the steel bolts to, and set pilings with bolts in them?
Or just set concrete anchors?
I've never built one out of a steel building package before.

My dad told me if you break it while trying to fixing it. Remember it was already broken. What he was trying to say was hit the dam thing harder. So I don't use a normal hammer. I grab the 5 lb. hammer.

Doug I use a 8 # hammer at work fine tuning rails. Chet will understand. I've even fixed intermittent electrical problems with a 2 # hammer

You didn't mention tires. I had some of those sitting in the shed. What size?

59 degrees outside now with a nice breeze. My wife has been tending the wood stove so it's 82 degrees inside the house. I think she wants me to do some yard work.
