Lickity log splitter issue

[hunting09999]

Well here I am again,same problem
Will post pictures and video. Can’t seem to get air out of cylinder, new part’s everywhere.
Mk60 a monster

Also my finger is pointing at a piece that moves fowards an back but do not understand for what unless it has to do with the raising and lowering of the beam. Also why does mine not have the automatic shift to keep splitting and the bar too adjust cylinder return length.
Is it because it’s the MK 60?

I dont have the same model as you so i'm kinda guessing here but that red plate appears to be a support/guide for the level that rotates the axle. Being it's a heavy machine, the guide was probably needed while other models dont need it. It's possibly the machine did have the auto shift but someone removed it. When i tore mine down for a rebuild, i did not have any issue at all bleeding the air out of the system. Is the ram not moving or moving slowly?

Large cylinder take’s 7 seconds of rpm’s of motor to get it to move,if you shift into low small cylinder starts to move pretty soon. Have shift mechanism apart now and rebuilding to see what that does.
