I've done a lot of reading and looking at pictures and videos and I think I have a fairly good idea on putting this thing together. I got enough parts to get started. 22gpm pump, 13hp Lifan engine w/electric start, 5x24x2.5 cylinder w/.75" ports, auto cycle valve, 2 spool valve for log lift and wedge adjust, beam is 8x10 with 5/8 top and bottom and 3/8 web, tank was pulled off a dewatering pump and will hold 20 gal, the trailer I pulled out of the weeds at my buddy's farm. Looking back I would have been better off building my own frame and running gear instead of fixing and adapting this one. Top of the beam is 33". I Started on a pusher. The vertical "push" end is 9" tall from the top of the beam. The horizontal "slide" is a little over 10" long. Where should I have the cylinder mount to the back of the pusher? Dead center at 4.5" or should it be a little lower than center? Thanks in advance for any advice and comments.
