    Splitters

    I am not looking at this time to buy one but does anyone have an opinion on Northern Tool splitters? In particular I am curious about the difference in the I-beam build between Northern Tool and Tractor Supply. I have heard some people had problems with the way Tractor Supply's I beam with...

    Bottom dwelling saws

    Well while I was hoping for a smoking gun for problems, there were many good points. I like the idea on the battery saw for a home owner saw. I would guess these saws would make good limbing saw? Any of these saw come with recommendations or red flags? I am curious, it sounds like the most...

    Bottom dwelling saws

    Thanks for all the replies. There is a lot to think on with these replies but I was hoping for some hard facts either for the Husky/Stihl/Echo saws or against the box stores. As for the MS170 and MS180, I think they are 30 cc saws. Will they run with or better than the...

    Bottom dwelling saws

    Emails here normally start with an open minded person looking for a good saw. They come here looking for advice and either provide enough information or the smart people here pull it out of them to recommend the appropriate saw. What do you say when someone is intent on purchasing based on price...

    Poulan 365

    Well this is a hail Mary. I went to start my Poulan Pro 365. Couple of pulls and it sputtered. Went to half choke and pulled feeling/hearing a snapping noise. Pulled again and no resistance. I took the side off and a bunch of plastic pieces fell out. With some research it appears I need...

    Run it till it dies / repair / replace parts

    Should the valve be painted before installing and if so then what type of paint?

    Run it till it dies / repair / replace parts

    Well it is said a picture is worth a 1,000 words but they also say you cannot believe everything you see. Maybe it is a case of context. The flip flops belong to my nephew who is wearing them because his right wrist is broken and it is hard to tie shoes one handed. It was broken in a JV...

    Run it till it dies / repair / replace parts

    Well I made it by Tractor Supply Store and they had one Energy brand control valve in stock for $189 so I ordered mine directly from Energy Manufacturing for about 2/3 the cost including shipping. I did take a moment to look at their Huskey/CountyLine spliters and they used Energy Control...

    Run it till it dies / repair / replace parts

    Gentlemen, I apologize for taking so long to get back but I have been busy at work and home. You all have been a big help. Triptester and UpOnTheHill hit it on the head. I looked at the splitter and on one end plain as day was "Energy C 1259 29 92". I am not sure how I missed it since I...

    Run it till it dies / repair / replace parts

    Tempting idea to sale the splitter but if I can repair it then I think I would be the one ahead. Ok I have retrieved the splitter from my father-in-laws. On the end of the controller opposite of the handle/lever appears to be a cap held by two screws. The end with the handle/lever also has...

    Run it till it dies / repair / replace parts

    Thanks for all the good ideas but I guess I have to show my lack of knowledge and ask more questions. Pictures would be hard at this point because the splitter is stored at my father-in-law's which is about 33 miles away from my house. If I can take the control valve apart and it was a...

    Run it till it dies / repair / replace parts

    I own a 1993 MTD Log Splitter Model 635 in partnership with my father-in-law and brother-in-law. We are having a problem with the control valve. When you press the level to retract the ram back inside the cylinder you could let go the handle and the ram retracted the control valve would cut...

    .325 or .375 debate!

    I don't have any idea on how the math works on comparing the .325 vs 3/8. I am not a professional nor do I cut cookies. I just cut a little firewood. Around 20 years ago my dad had a Wards (McCulloch 610) and he would out cut me at least 3 cuts to 2 maybe even 2 to 1 cuts. We sat down and...
