    Is my problem the spark plug?

    Same here new plug junk and another go after short time. I always go for the easy way out and if changing out a plug works that's fine with me.

    Darn you guys! Another winch build thread.

    Kinda seems like a jager or hathway friction winch,former had band to hold and slow down load the latter worked on fishing boats much the same way only on a much bigger scale,both had dogs to hold fast their load.We used a jager on a boom truck to haul logs until one day we parted the...

    Darn you guys! Another winch build thread.

    All you guys need to do is add a hydraulic motor with a roller chain and two sprockets to get your speed where you need it,this will give reverse at little cost.

    Darn you guys! Another winch build thread.

    Run the wench with a hydraulic motor this will give reverse action. Most wenches have a dog that can be released so it can spool the wire out quickly this will save much time. You can get the best speed and power by using chain drive with the right for your needs sprockets. One of them military...

    Finally got me a splitter...

    The replacement coupler uses a rubber damper versus a hard plastic one. I spaced the pump back a 1/2" away from the motor to allow the coupler to be installed properly, and that combined with the rubber vs plastic material I believe will provide proper longevity of the coupler. I think the so...

    American Hornbeam (right?)

    That bark looks more like a maple Hornbeam or what we call Snag has a rough bark much like a white oak at least the one's around here in Ma. are.

    Splitter idea...

    I have a 6" ram not so big but you can put in a dump this will speed things up. With 6 way this will speed up the splitting but like I said no splitter will do it all,with 6 way you will get big chunks if splitting big wood. I gotta laugh when I see demmo's all wood 12-14 inches,no knots or...

    Splitter idea...

    It would be interesting to know the RPM of the motor and the power it would be.It would be easy to make a mount for it and get a sprocket that will drive the chain,faster the better but still need power to drive it would seem that motor would do the job. I dont know how big of stuff you are...

You might be onto something lot of good parts there. My big splitter has a 80 HP Isuzu turbo from an old pup pickup truck. If you are like me I keep on...

    Splitter idea...

    Yes I grab all I can I would need to look what size,but there is a lot of power in them I bent my mast with this one double walled pipe pulling a log onto trailer. I made the mast so as to be moved with quick disconnects and it slips into a larger pipe so whole unit can go to another piece of...
