Brave log splitter

Post by Harry »

Brought up out of woods my log splitter which I haven’t used in two years. Checked it out and it looked good to go. A shot of starting fluid after a few pulls produced nothing and it started up. Let it warm up and moved the lever to extend the ram and it squirted hydraulic oil from a hydraulic hose. Shut it down, removed the faulty hose and drove to a close by heavy equipment repair shop. In thirty minutes I was out the door with a new hose in hand. Installed and now good to split some wood. Harry
