Stumped Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Well with the help here I now know It's a L1600 that run's this puppy lol. The wood splitter was built by my uncle back in the late '70's , he did not have many tools so it's a little rough but it works damn good. It can split anything lots of power. Freezing cold out she starts no matter what the weather, all I have to do is put my hand on the carb to choke it and away it goes. Best to wear a glove cus sometimes it will backfire lol. Running speed is idle, there is plenty of power out of the old case bulldozer they took the hydraulic pump and cylinder from. So Idle is all you need unless you get a nasty knot in the wood then you have to giver a little gas but not much. I mist the picture a little bit for the pump hook up, although you can see he welded a bigger to smaller U-joint to run the hyd...pump. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Nothing like a log splitter with a 4 speed :D Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I like it. The splitter I used this last weekend just had a single piston mower motor and it worked great. That thing must be very powerful. do you cover the engine up to keep the snow and rain off of it? Quote Link to comment

Just a tarp nothing special, takes about 8 hours of splitting to burn up 2galons of gas Quote Link to comment
