    cylinder repair

    finally got around and plumbed it up and cycled it a few times. it seeps, but nothing like it did before. i did the same patch job with my 4" bore cheap tie-rod cylinder, and it seeped more then this one at first, and finally stopped after a few cord. This 6" seeps less, and i've only ran it...

    Tractor hard starting

    200 to 0 isn't a huge range... starting an ice cold engine, that's 0 degrees, with fuel igniting around 1100*, that's a huge difference. Seems like heads and cylinder walls around the water jacket would crack right?

    Question for cb owners

    if it's not locked push and hold the set button for 8 seconds to get into program parms... i fiddled with mine all the time. you need to change r0, r1 and r2 might need to be changed if the factory has them too high/low. i did 20deg for the summer, quicker to recover with no heat demand. but...

    Disastrous leaks....

    this post was not meant to be "OFFENDING" in any way or form. This is a wood burning and equipment related site. No one here mentioned they were chemists, so i began my hunt on google. You know who you are.

    splitter log lift question

    I can see the reasoning. For certian situations low flow is the answer, espeically with 'push the go button and let it continue un-attended' setups; as the one your explaining. Personally i can't find myself to spend the money to buy small hose, the fittings, then take my time, just to slow my...

    splitter log lift question

    hydraulic valve with a lever for flow control. all front end loaders are setu pthe same way. just move the valve a ltitle bit and you can fine tune cylinder positions (lift the arms a fraction of an inch, etc etc) people that use 1/4" hose to cheat is beacuse they just wham the spool full...

    splitter log lift question

    if you used a decent quality spool, it wouldn't matter how fast the pump moved oil, you could just ease the spool and get the job done...cylinder anchor points will change the outcome alot as well.

    Disastrous leaks....

    as i said, just an idea. probably use a hydraulic pump, only thing i can think of to move anything of that temp....only limit is seals. maybe a vickers vane that moves slow.... i mentioned logstor because someone mentioned if using pex hose clamps must be used. I said my current 'water' OWB...

    Disastrous leaks....

    bah, it wouldn't explode. last weekend i experimented and threw in a gallon of oil and it just smoldered and burned. Threw in a qt jug that had a bit of gasoline in it, closed the door, nothing happened... hours later opened the door, jug is burned up, wood is ashes,,,,no explosion...

    Best way to make point on splitter wedge?

    I just went hog wild with a torch. Didn't even bother to use a grinder. Took some 1" thick stock, torched some 'wedge angles', welded together for a 6way. . Just a wood splitter. 6" bore pushes anything through it.
