Equipment / Home made old log splitter

« on: December 21, 2014, 06:04:53 PM »

I bought an old home made log splitter built about 20 years ago. I painted it and serviced it. After splitting a whole load of red oak the chain broke it was pretty loose. Im thinking I want to change it unto a v belt pulley style instead. I found a pulley for the engine side with a smooth bore and a keyway with a set screw. THe pump side is splined Im having trouble finding a pulley they will fit that.
I would post a picture but it keeps saying picture is too large.....

Where I live in NH the weather isn't nearly as bad for me as it is for a lot people in other parts of the country.  But, this evening when I got home from work it 4 was degrees above zero with a very stiff westerly wind.  I was standing at the OWB for the 15 seconds CB recommends for safety purposes after opening the by-pass door and the word that popped in my mind was; DAMN!, I detect a bit of a nip in the air tonight.  But, it's 70 degrees in the house and I'm cozy warm.  I thank God every chance I get for the warmth the OWB provides externally but also for the warmth he provides internally.  Roger

Amen!! I keep it 75 in my house I love it
