    How hot should hydraulic fluid get in a splitter?

    Industrial hyd tech here. A properly running system shouldn’t get that hot, even with regular cyclic use all day. It’s not so much the high pressure that causes heat, but the pressure differential when going from high to low pressure (without doing useful work) that causes heat to build. There...

    Stihl 170 mods

    Maybe taking it out reduces air velocity, not volume? If it does, then it reduces fuel atomization and an incomplete burn, resulting in more smoke. Just a thought.. I built one of these. Get a wt215 carb so you can actually tune it, and shave a few thousandths off the flywheel key to advance...

    Sold Ms440

    Selling a decent ms440. Picked it up with the intention of rebuilding and swapping for a 056 Mag, but have a SBC 350 I need money for now. Saw is complete, starts easy, runs and oils like it should. HOWEVER it has some piston scoring on the exhaust side and only 120psi compression. It passed...

    MS440 scored piston

    Just an update. Saw passed pressure and vac test. Didn’t pull it apart but compression is low at 120psi. Seems to run great though, but I’m sure it’s down on power. Managed to be gifted a Vortec 350 I want to build, so I’m gonna sell the 440 to someone who can turn it around. Look for it in the...

    MS440 scored piston

    So I finally got home and the saw was waiting for me. The seller runs a saw mill down in SC, and seems like a really great guy. I put a little 40:1 in it, gave it 3 pulls on the choke and it popped. I flicked the lever up one and pulled once and it fired, ran great, and idled fine! I see no...

    Great deal on a Craftsman Riding Mower

    Nice how stuff works out sometimes, huh?! Finding a replacement engine shouldn’t be difficult, and selling will be a breeze too as ppl like those cubs a lot. You gonna take it down and see if maybe you can fix it first?

    Great deal on a Craftsman Riding Mower

    Good to hear! Another one or two of these under your belt and you can shift up to garden tractors like my 14d, g series kubotas, heavy duty bolens units, etc. The buy in is a bit more, but they sell for a LOT more too.
