Brave 26 ton splitter with 7" wedge. Just bought it used.
I noticed the wedge had some side to side play. I didn't measure but it's a lot more than the iron and oak wedge I saw in a store yesterday.
Does anybody have one and is this normal? The wedge plate stays flat to the splitter so that's good.
I took the bolts off 1 side and noticed the middle guide plates holes are elongated but the replacement from Brave shows them as round. Wondering if the older ones were designed that way and changed later?
