Lickity Log Splitter, Piqua Ohio

[prentice110]

I have the model # splitter you are looking for but it's not for sale at this time. Loaned it to a 'friend' of mine who let his neighbor borrow it. Finally got it back minus the kohler engine and the exploded view manual. Trying to find a copy of this so I can rebuild this thing for the third time. Bought it used in '75. Great machine! If I can rebuild it, I will NEVER loan it out again. Any ideas where I can find a manual or download?

I have an owners man and parts diagram

This place bought out all the spare parts when the company was closed.They have a few parts still in inventory. I needed a NLA part and just made a new one.

I have on of these splitters and the the thing works awesome. I believe the model # is 26EK30 and serial # is 5467 with an 8hp Kohler engine. I am looking for any information & literature on this splitter (manuals,year,parts diagram,etc) just in case I need to repair anything, It's been rock solid so far.

Thanks
Jake

yo, you gotta think outside the box to understand Toms posts. Your model, is it 2 speed? I dont recall that model you spoke of. Its like you mixed model #'s. The 2 speed , depending on length, were originaly the 26mk34 a-f, wich were later the Mk348. The dog ass slow economy models were the Mk308 later on and I forgot what they were orig, but I think 26mk30? You can get an owners man from Webb bro's in Cali, but they charge $75. for it. Post a pic of yours and Ill tell you what it is. Or, go to the thread titled lickity splitter firewood operation in the firewood forum and tell me if its set up like mine. Keep in mind the one in the table in the pic is a highly modified model. Oh, and any questions, Super3 and I can pretty much answer any you have. I have original broshures from the 60's of these things. Weve had 4, and I split over 250 face anually with em. Had machine shops make me hundreds of $'s in parts.

8hp Kohler,I believe the engine is a 1976 according to serial #.

Yup EK30.

Economy model. Super slow. Look on the valve. Somewhere theres a manufactered date on it that can give you an idea of around how old it is. Those came new with the 7 an a half horse Kohler. Dont know if that motor is original. Tell me, when you throw the lever, does the throttle kick up with it? or is the linkage missing?

 

[Jake4]

The throttle moves via cable hooked to the lever linkage, so yes when you move thel ever throttle goes up.

If thats still hooked up then it probly is the orig motor.

Likety Splitter

Wow! Yours is in great shape, good job on the restoration! I owned one back in the mid/late 70's, and I wish I still owned it. I loved my Likety Log splitter, (did all my splitting by hand before I bought it). I sold firewood back then. Now I heat my house with a wood stove, (15 years now), and I own a splitter named, "Iron and Oak", made in the US. Great splitter, 26 ton, Horizontal/vertical. but I would love to have a new Likity Log splitter again. good luck with your, you really did a great job on it.
