I am a long time lurker, first time poster. Let me start by saying this is an incredible brain bank on this forum with everyones experience and I have learned a tremendous amount already by reading through all of the posts. I am laos very relieved to find out I am not the only one with the wood cutting sickness, its like going home to log on here and see others spending the time and energy for the same purposes.
Anyways I have been unable to lcoate any existing info(maybe I am not in the correct area?)in regards to the issue I have been dealing with. I have an old Log splitter ( briggs motor and a 20 ton ram) Thats about all the info I really have, it has been repainted a few times and no existing stickers with info ( I bought this off of my father who used it for years before he passed away a few years ago). I have had this thing repaired many times at this point but now I am having issues with the hydraulics working intermittenly. It will work great one log and then the next it just stops as it touches the wood like it has no power. The fluid is full, the motor is running strong, just no pwer in the ram. Any ideas that may help me track down the culprit would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time.:help:
