Splitter had a new vibration

[wdchuck]

Only five hours run time on the new coupler and then no more cylinder movement. :msp_confused:

Look underneath and the parts are there.

Take it into the shop, remove the motor and the engine side slides off easy as pie. Take a look and the set screws are gone, on both halves of the coupler. Ooops.

The coupler halves are shot but the next set will get serviceable thread locker. $24 education.

It was well past sundown so no big loss of splitting time today and the parts house is on the way home in the morning so this should all go back together in less than thirty minutes.

There is no story in an easy lesson! If not for lessons learned the hard way, I wouldn't have learned a thing!:msp_confused: Or have any stories to tell!
