    After running the splitter for awhile shut it off then take off the cap to the fluid tank. If you look into the tank and see a foam on top of the fluid it means you have a leak somewhere that is sucking in air. Trying tightening all you clamps and fittings 1st It could also be a lin hole leak...

    The edges on mine are steel made out of bar stock steel. I am not sure where you can locate a new set. If the one's in that picture are your existing set you could try resurfacing with some thinner bar stock attached to the orignal edges. Of course if you have access or know someone that has a...

    Mark your best bet will be to take the cylinder apart and take the whole cylinder = cylinder + end cap + piston rod to a hydraulic cylinder shop that services cylinders!! Take whatever info you can get off of the log splitter as well. Rochester Cylinder Services had work on that type of cylinder...

    The retaining ring/clip that I got was a basic spring steel piece with a taper on one end . It did not have the 90 degree bend on the other end. That bend is very important as if you do not have it you'll have one hell of a time later on if you ever have to try to remove it from the grove (as I...

    O ring kit and retaining clip To get a O Ring kit for my splitter I went to Hydraulic Cylinder Services in Rochester NY. I brought the cylinder and end cap with me. Using a set of calipers they measured the differences between piston rod and cylinder and then the cap and the cylinder. The cap...

    Reply Only problem I have had since I got mine up and running was the spark plug clip that fits over the top of the plug!! The clip was cracked and when the splitter was running the vibrations would shake the clip and cause misfiring as well as sometimes causing the motor to shut down. I went...

    glad it helped you I am glad that the manual help you out. As for me I am spending some time today to see if I can finally get that end cap off that cylinder. I figure if somebody got it on then I ought to be able to get it off so I can get the new seals for that cylinder. Tom

    possessed cylinder Well I finally got that pin/clip out. I got the end cap to only come out 9/16"!!?? Is this thing possessed or what. The end cap freely spins in and out to the 9/16" point then stops from coming out all the way. I tried blowing out the cylinder piston using an air...
