So my buddy was nice enough to let me borrow his 21 ton "white outdoor" splitter. Thing worked great all week, I'll post some pics later of before and after of the wood pile.
Well being my in my nature of recent luck with anything with an engine, the last day I went to tow her back to my friend's and I fire her up and she stalled out. Oh no - then she refused to start and we found the flywheel was seized.
Awesome, gotta love the B&S engines, this would be the second one I've seized in as many years. It looks like its got a 190cc 5.5hp with a vertical shaft.
I'm looking at the Harbor Freight as a replacement, same HP, vertical shaft.
The question is - on the shaft, how critical is the length? I figure diameter must be exact. What am I in for in terms of potential mods needed? Longer better (ask the wife?!)
Thanks,
Craig
