You can see in this 8 second video that the 10 psi held good but you can see some tiny little bubbles coming out between the cylinder and base. I did the gasket delete using Permatex Motoseal gasket maker. Is this going to work or do I have to take it apart and try again on my base gasket seal...

Most Permatex gasket products, including this one, say on the back of the package " Not recommended for head gaskets or parts in contact with gasoline".

I am about to put together a new piston and cylinder on a 575XP. Going to do the gasket delete. I checked the squish and it was .028 without the gasket. What kind of sealer should I use between the cylinder and Case? Looking on this site a lot of people like the Loctite 518, but I do not see on...

So I know a bunch of you boys have the same problem. I have more saws than I can use. I have my favorites that see a lot of action. I have some others that do more sitting on the shelf then running. When I store them, I generally dump the fuel, then run it till I run all the fuel out of the...

No news is good news. The friend I repaired it for used it at his work, a construction company. He never said it fell apart on him so I’m guessing it held together. Small amount of $ in the repair. A lot more time was involved.

Great job, looking good. I’m not gonna say it all again but reread post #26, I agree with everything yota said. I probably would have mounted vice in the same spot you did, where it is supported by the bench leg. My vice is the most used tool in the shop. Use the one you have until you’re ready...

Great job. Looking good. I’m not gonn

It's a good start. Run with it. Maybe you can add on later or overtake dads space one day.

Question, while we have several experts chiming in. Do you need to check each and every raker as you sharpen? I always free style hand file. When I check the rakers, I will just eyeball 4 or 5 with a straight edge, then hit them all with the same amount of filling all the way around. Has...

Nice! A log lift is a real game changer on a horizontal splitter.

That’s a lot of light.

I’ve got a light bar that really lights up around the splitter. It mounts in the same hole that the umbrella goes in. I can’t use the lights and the umbrella at the same time. So far that hasn’t been a problem.

I remember Zogger. Did he make that hand heals 4 way?

I was young and didn’t know squat about hydraulics when I built my splitter. Someone suggested that I seal up both sides of the H beam and make one side the hydraulic tank and the other side the gas tank. Sounded good so I did. The hydraulic tank was no where near big enough. The first time I...

I put some grease fittings on my slide several years ago to grease the beam. I only greased it one time. The greased beam just got my pants dirty. I do like the idea of greasing the wedge to make the hard stuff slide right on thru.

On a long haul on the interstate, I will put the log splitter in the trailer to haul it. Once I had a bad tire on the trailer that made it bounce going down the road. Where the 2 inch trailer coupler is bolted on the 2 x 2 square tubing that is welded to the top of the splitter, the 2 x 2 square...

I do more lurking around here than posting. I know you engineers have made multiple changes, modifications, additions to your splitters. I love to see people’s ideas, good and bad. Show us your good ideas so we can do it to. Show us your bad ideas so we don’t waste our time doing them. We need...

ATH, Thank you. VW

This is at my son’s house. He has oabout 10 big trees in his back yard. At least half of them are leaking like this. Will it heal itself? Or eventually kill the tree?

Big older white oak tree foaming at the root. You can actually see it bubbling and running out. What is this? Is it hurting the tree?
