The heat shield on my splitter motor has been loose for awhile. The bolts are very tight, probably welded due to the heat. I stripped one of the bolts off in the muffler that holds the shield on. Sooooo, I thought I would take the muffler off and tap the stripped bolt out. Then the real pisser, I stripped one of the studs off in the muffler that is used to attach to the manifold (I think it is called). A new muffler is $80.

I may seek suggestions from you guys when the new muffler comes in. The heat shield does not last very long IMO.

Take a center punch and dimple the center of the stud . drill it out and re tap to the correct size on the manifold. I have had decent success on one saw and several other implements.

Jim expressed his disappointment that all the posts are gone.

Which old posts? I can still see 1860 pages, with 37,186 replies. I never really paid much attention though....were there more?

Hah! Now I see what took place. Mod only edited the title when he made it a 'sticky'. I though it was a whole new thread.

That chain looks different. What kind is it? What does it look like from the other side? It doesn't look like it would cut from here.

There's a left and right cutter and in the center, left and right rakers that pull out the wood from between the cutters. Cuts a 3/8" wide kerf.

Good morning Carl and everbody. Clear down here in carthage. Off work today and tomorrow. Lotta work outside next day or 2. Have a good day.

 

[SteveSS]

Morning folks. Nice and cool here this morning. A welcome relief from Monday and Tuesday. I have a hole to get started digging before work while it's still nice enough to do it. Have a good one.

 

[SteveSS]

Well that was an exercise in futility. Have to wait til the weekend and get after it with a pick axe to get below the hard pan.

If yours up there is like mine down here, you've got to have a Jack hammer and explosives just to put a post in the ground.

Evening Jim.

 

[SteveSS]

The thought of a jack hammer did cross my mind at one point this morning.
