    Log splitter tire replacement

    Thanks, again. Do I require a special wrench for this, else how would I know the torque referenced?

    Log splitter tire replacement

    Thank you for your response. I did all those things and finally decided to use a 4d finishing nail that I bent at each end to secure in the hole. Hopefully that should work. The only way I could make the cotter pin work was to tighten the castellated nut to the point the tire couldn't rotate so...

    Tire replacement on Logsplitter

    I changed the tire on my vintage 1982 Mighty Mac logsplitter (no manual or model number available) that was held on by a single core nut and cotter pin. When I placed the tire back on, I could not align the hole in the axle to accept the cotter pin and want to know if there is a special knack to...
