Thanks, will get ahold of you if I don't have one by then.

Thanks for looking.

Looking for a 395xp crankcase, clutch side in good shape. Anyone got one they are looking to sell?

I don't have that much in mine, so if I were faced with that choice, I would not be paying $500 for a rack. I might however scrounge around to see if I could find one for less. If this were my only option for splitter, and heating with wood was my main source of heat, I would be looking for...

I believe I would get the linkage worked over then consider the clutch with smaller pulley if you want to consider keeping this splitter and making it work. It is my understanding that the hardest thing on the pinion and rack is for that slack in the linkage allowing it to disengage. Making...

If you watch videos of the super split and the speeco we have, it appears the super split runs slower. the speeco in original form runs scary fast as far as i am concerned. I have put the dr pulley on, and still don't run full throttle most of the time. I have been known to spray the clutch...

If you have read post 1088 above, it explains why it is better, the pulley is smaller, and runs the flywheels slower. That is the main improvement.

The linkage needs to be tightened up some, or improved some way. There is also a need for a centrifical clutch on the motor. I believe the DR clutch fits the old Speeco unit, but it as been quite a while since I did this to mine. Take a look at post #1088 above.

Well that model had trouble with the coils leaking, and we had it repaired, and I think they must have cracked it at that time, or I did, when getting it prepped for repair. The filter slot is also bugered up some. The drain connection that connects to the drain hose broke off at the bottom of...

I have a Geosprings water heater, installed in 2012. I have a meter on it, and I can tell you it cut the water heater bill in half when in heat pump mode in our case. Family of 4, three females, while they were all home, I have it set for the electric elements to kick on as backup. It does...

Honey locust. Good wood, but the bugs like it as bad as they do hickory. Messy.

What is the cc of the bb kit? Does it have bar/chain, if so, what size? Very interested.

A two line answer didn't reveal much either. I would be interested in reading about some of the reasons you believe they are not popular. They seem to be in my neighborhood, as I have at least 4 neighbors that use them, all installed in the last 5 years.

Better pack an extra box o beer too, whitespider is one that I wouldn't be challenging. I have seen pictures of his wood stacks. I do agree to the swinging the saw being a pita, but easier than running that mingo down the small limbs.

I use a mingo to mark the big stuff, the bar to measure the small. When I changed to a smaller stove, I had to pay more attention to length. With the big old stove, it would hold about anything under 20 inches, new stove not much more than 16, and with the small box, need every inch of wood...

After doing a google search, there are some references to making an endless belt, doing it properly for high speed belting is quite a process, looks almost like an art to make it seamless. I know that your belt will be running slower than most, but you don't want to have to deal with this belt...

The specs show that as a 3.6 cu. ft. firebox. How often do you guys reload if you are running 24/7? If I were to install a fireplace the Opel would be my top choice I think.

Looks like Buck still makes the kit to convert your insert back to a freestanding stove. Link to their web site, you have to buy it from dealer: Buck Stove Corporation - Frequently Asked Questions I would at least check it out before building my own. Good luck with your project. I...

There are a few of us that have saved them from the scrap pile, and expect no warranty from Speeco, and still enjoy tinkering with them. I do need to improve the engagement linkage, as it is sloppy, and will disengage on a hard piece of oak with limbs or crotch in it. I'm no expert on...

I have put about a cord of walnut through mine and a few chunks of some nasty oak, and as long as the small clutch has some lubricant, it will slip when hitting a hard spot, always a crotch so far. If the clutch does not slip, I have had a few times when the ram rack has popped up hard. I like...
