Hello, very nice video - good job. had problems with my similar wood splitter ventile. then I saw your video and at 5:32 min you used 2 washes under the level mechnism. I did this as well and my splitter from 2012 works perfect now. You saved my spliter and my money. many thanks Greetings from Germany ---> sorry for my bad English ;-)

I've split 5 cords through it so far. Does what I need it to. kzbin.infoUgkxUyQswtttSffRMblGbrhCvZn7JkhtG1-7 I scrounge all my firewood and am not equipped to handle big wood, but for logs up to 24 inch diameter or so, it works great. I've been amazed by some of the gnarly bur oak and elm crotches it has split. For the tougher stuff within it's size range, you might have to study the piece a bit to decide the best attack, but if you split smart it's up to the job. It did arrive low on oil, and I was would have nicked it half a star for that, but it has regained my full confidence. UPDATE NOVEMBER 2021: Still going strong after all these years. I love the one-handed operation. Hope it's still in production if I ever need to replace it

Where did you get your seal kit from ? Having a problem finding one. Any help out there
@andrewly6954 Жыл бұрын
I’ve just done the same job on mine. The seal at the end of the aluminium gland was destroyed and so could not build up sufficient pressure to split logs. I couldn’t find the correct two-part seal (o ring at the bottom and a hard “guide” seal on top), so I just shoved a fat o-ring instead and it works perfectly. I believe it was a 327 o-ring size. Have split a few logs so far hopefully it holds up.

Great video, except you omitted the hardest part, I believe. Compressing the spring, in order to screw on the new piston disk, is very difficult unless your spring has become weak. Your spring looks strong. Like I said, great video!!

@jamesbullock7206 Жыл бұрын
@@franklinohrtman282 Just done this repair. I used a tie down strap with a cam buckle. Fed one end of the tie down strap between the spring and piston for most of its length, connected both ends together and pulled hard. 3 or 4 hard tugs on the tie down were enough to compress the spring more each time (the cam buckle locks under tension) and it let me chock the end of the piston with a block of wood. Once done remove the tie down strap and install the piston sleeve over the spring.
@Timbuk24 Жыл бұрын
i just done it too. I didnt use any extra tools, it waś possible to compress the spring with the screws. I tightened the backplate screws and it all pulled itself together. One hint for the "family diy" guy: you need to open the little bleed screw at the front plate while using the machine. close it for transport :)

I repaired my King 5 ton due to oil leaks. Perfect I thought....but after a week or so I noticed occasionally it would not start. It acted as if the start capacitor was open. The motor would sit and hum. The 47uF capacitor is not the problem. Sticking pump gears is not the problem. Its almost like when the rotor stops at a certain point it will just sit there and buzz. If I take a small screwdriver and turn it just a nub, its then ok until the next time. This is a single phase with no brushes and no centrifugal switch so it kinda has me boggled. Anyone have a hint?

Notice you used paste type sealant (Black) on End Frames as opposed to Rubber-Ring seals (gaskets). What type of sealant was it? Also appeared to be no O Ring seal between Pump and End Frame extension when you dismantled but you did use one on assembly. When I dismantled my 5 ton King the O Ring was missing also. Curious if I should use one. The mating metal surfaces did not leak before. Eventually decided not use the O Ring and joint did not leak.

I have used black RTV sealant on my last two rebuilds, and it didn't leak. Since there is just atmospheric pressure inside reservoir, the seal only needs to resist seepage.
