    Wood splitter trouble

    Dumb question. Is the lever engaged on the splitter? That happens to me all the time. Good luck-hope you find a solution.

    Wood Splitter Help

    That’s what I am thinking happened. This thing was seized up pretty badly and the “grease” looked more like caked on dirt.

    Wood Splitter Help

    Yup…I didn’t learn the first time. Oh, and I have a $75 (paper weight) detent valve sitting on my counter that came in yesterday. I would like to just replace the valve but it looks different. I’ll take some pictures later just for reference.

    Wood Splitter Help

    So I took the thing apart and found the spring was totally seized in it. Freed it up no problem and was smooth. In the process, I lost the bearing. Now the automatic return doesn’t work. No biggie, I ordered a new valve. In the meantime, my friend says that he has a whole unit for me to...

    8ten chain?

    I bought a two pack of the 20 inch and after about 15 cuts the chain broke on me. It could have been a fluke but this has never happened to me. I was going to put the other one on but didn’t bother because I needed to get stuff done and didn’t want it to happen again. I grabbed another saw...

    ABS issues

    I did an abs sensor on my 06 silverado. Kind of the same symptoms as yours. Would trigger abs once in a while. Did some research, I think Eric The Car Guy. If I remember correctly, he states which ever direction the wheel turns, it is the opposite wheel sensor. That is assuming it is a...

    EZ out recommendations

    I’ve actually had better luck with the square extractors. Tried getting this broken spark plug out with the round ez out and didn’t have any luck. The square one did the trick for me.

    Price for Used central boiler 5036

    I was on my local craigslist yesterday and saw a few for sale for around 5 grand. Not a bad price at all. I think I paid around 10 for mine. I estimated that it paid for itself after about 5 years. Well worth the investment. It sounds lime you are used to the work so I would go for it...

    Price for Used central boiler 5036

    I have the 6048, it’s slightly larger than the model above. I estimate that I burn around 10 cord a year and heat a 3,700 sq ft house. In addition, I get domestic hot water out of it too. That is a huge savings with 5 people in the house that include 2 teenagers. i would look for any kind of...

    Need advice on hollow Black Walnut

    I’ve been watching this thread since day one. Really thought out and well planned. Great work! Just a question, could you have not used the snatch block and just used that one tree that you tied off to with. Come along? Just wondering. Was that for more leverage? Again, great work!!
