Attention all you woodsplitter builders out in AS land!!!! Help, last winter I built a woodsplitter and it has been working great except one problem. Twice now the 3 piece shaft adapter has failed. The rubber in the middle breaks up and lets the three jaw couplers make direct contact until they chew each other up and wear the teeth right off!! I never know this is happening until the pump stops pumping in the middle of splitting! I have double and triple checked my alignment of the shafts and the adapter plate and can find nothing there, and nothing else is damaged. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem? Is the rubber too weak for a 15.5 horse engine with a 22gpm pump? Any input out there is welcome.....:bang::msp_confused:
