    Prince Hydraulic Valve Detent

    I looked at this parts manual couple weeks ago but missed that part. Loosening the adjustment screw worked just like you said. I also found that a kit is available to convert a 3000 to a 3030. I have this same valve on my splitter but this one is for a press that I'm scrounging up parts for...

    Log Splitter flow control orifice question.

    Where do you put the flow control orifice to limit speed on the log lift and the adjustable wedge. Is only one needed per cylinder. In this video @ 7:03, the builder says he used 1/16 orifices for his lift and wedge but did not say where he installed them. On the extend port on the valve or the...

    New kinetic splitter design, belt clutch to engage pinion

    I got the pics to work for those that would like to view them. I think they were too large before. I tried the USPTO website today but they say they are down due to a power outage that took out their equipment.

    New kinetic splitter design, belt clutch to engage pinion

    After reading the SS log lift thread, I was doing a google search on the history of kinetic splitters. Didn't find much, but I did find a recent patent application. It seems that on this splitter, the rack and pinion are always engaged and the pinion is activated by a belt clutch. Forcing...

    Splitter Build...I-Beam size??

    I used an 8X35 (flange .495, web .310) for my splitter build, because I had it. I would go with a 8X48, (flange thickness .685, web .400) And I would also copy this guy's build: Homemade 30 ton Log splitter with log lift and adjustable 4-way blade - YouTube

    Logging Movie

Watched it the other night. It has Lee Remick, three log loads, highline, topping trees, Falling, Mac 125, etc. All the...

    Pitch

    Looks like I remembered right this time.. That is interesting about the fence posts. No longer having any pitch, now I lay my propane torch on the kindling which works good too.

    Pitch

    Back in the early seventies, I lived in northern ca. around the Jackson area. We burned wood. We used what was called pitch as a fire starter. I think we dug it out of a pine stump and split it into small pieces. you could light it with a match and it would burn fast and produced a lot of black...
