Lickity Log Splitter

[linckeil]

Someone I know has an old lickity splitter for sale. it was left at his house years ago and he never used it. the engine throttle controls are seized up, but i think its worth messing with. i've never heard of one before, but i did a bit of research and it sounds like they were good machines.

i'm hoping someone here knows more about these machines then i do. i got some numbers off the machine and the engine and i'm hoping someone can help identify it for me.

model 26EK30
serial no. 7673

it has a kohler engine (looks real old - i think it has points)
model no. K181PT
spec no. 30559d
serial no. 9819268

can anyone help me decode any of these numbers? thanks.

I was able to find some information on the motor based on the numbers above.

It is a Kohler 8hp. 18 cubic inch, single cylinder. It is a "pump model" and features "retactable start". It was built in 1979.

I don't know if its original to the splitter, but it likely is. So that gives me a starting point at least. Anyone out there that knows the lickity splitter numbers?
