Be sure to let us know how you do it -
Yeah, I forgot to check the oil on a leaky tractor and the rod grenaded, we just weren't sure if the engine was runable withe the little chunk and tiny crack at the bottom of the bore. This is the rid that came out of it.

Yer nuts and a waste of time. Gramps didn't have one and he hand split way before us. A veteran wood stoker can tell the dryness by end fractures and time under a COVERED stack. Different for brand of species ... hardwood softwood etc. Heck burn green pine you like to clean chimneys. What brought this on Big Unit? Weren't you the guy just looking for better cycle times on what you have? -

I just took a closer look at the 2 way design. With the splitter wedge cantilevered 6-10 inches above the cylinder, seems there has to be some large loads on the splitter slide system. Do we know what it uses for bearings to take these loads? -
The PO of an 857 I got had ran throttle cable directly to the carb butterfly, bypassing governor. When I finally got around to fixing it I had to take bushing and throttle arm off and dress them up because it was putting everything in a bind and would stick if you tightened bushing up to where it was supposed to be. If Iran bushing loose enough to work, it would work its way loose. Works great now and was probably reason PO had moved it.

Not terrible $$ but depends on how high the silver content is but yes much much lower flow temp. May try that next. Not sure how it would mix with the braid but only one way to find out.

Will do..thanks. I did have to retorque the pump mounting bolts that vibrated loose after many years of use. Most of my wood is from 5+ year old dead trees so they are dry when I cut them. If I do get a live green blow down, I do split smaller to speed drying. -
Yeah I say that a lot but....

YT is first forum I ever remember using, they have an excellent classified section, but man it sure doesn't seem like it's been that many years ago but time flies when you are having fun. Glad to hear he is still thinking about us and think he would do well to relaunch isavetractors site, I know I used it a lot myself.

What ya got there buddy... not the best pic but crank will need to be ground fer sure. It looks like some chips off the bottom of the bore? Might be able to smooth them out and runner. Hard to tell the actual carnage from yer pic. Inspect the block carefully for cracks. Looks like a rod let loose.
-
Would this still be salvagable or should we try to find a new block?

One thing I should have mentioned is these are a lot like engines don't order anything until you have it opened up and see what you need. Saves time and $$. when you look for parts search on the Torrington part no as in the cheat sheet. For example B-1816 axle bearing is listed as a Koyo but same thing. Looky here a decent price. Lowell has some excellent prices but his shipping kills a dude. https://www.ebay.com/itm/127113612216?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1AhsZ6FRPQdexfrmwpYZ5hw15&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=127113612216&targetid=2320274088935&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9019460&poi=&campaignid=21388651161&mkgroupid=173029506628&rlsatarget=pla-2320274088935&abcId=9447178&merchantid=5560932469&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21388651161&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh8I6_S5o8IYSuCL2MPUNBAyT&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwYrNBhDcARIsAGo3u30B9tRKP4HCbSDhJ9w1W7vYB1KmJQzH-1gJZMl0H9DGokmKJlKLPLQaAjRdEALw_wcB

My thought is that you won't come close to twice as fast unless there are multiple operators, and then there will be missing fingers. While reading thru this thread I saw some difference than my log splitting. I split about 1/3 of the time in the vertical position due to some very large and heavy logs. I split everything over 4 inches to aid drying, yes I use a moisture meter. My furnace can take up to 27 inch logs and I cut lengths from 16 to 27. I burn 24/7 when overnight temperatures are 35 or lower, I can't imagine starting a fire and warming the chimney every day. I have the 28 ton version of the TSC splitter. Speeco made them for TSC and now Speeco shows no splitters on their website, I don't know if they still supply splitters for private names. When they did offer splitters with their name you could see the performance specifications and choose many configurations, if you want more tonnage you selected a larger cylinder and if speed was important select a larger pump and engine. I burn 5 to 7 cords per year and my splitter has worked well for years, with only one failure, now pay attention ED, the relief valve in the hydraulic oil filter mount came apart and parts blocked the oil port. I called Speeco and they diagnosed the problem in seconds. If you still have the original oil filter mount, inspect or replace with a better design so you know the oil is being filtered. -
Not too worried about the differentials, neither of the 5060 transmissions were making any noises but we'll see when I get in there. The 5066 might be a different story.

I'm busted, I didn't check them.... Thanks! Picked up a pair of 1533 brgs. from WH Parts and More.

Did some sanding on the filler. Also trimmed the back panel and got some measurements. Hoping @Wheel Horse 3D can help me out.

Raider cradle mount conversion.
Lee1977 replied to Raider69's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
The Cradle mount doesn't used the Kohler, Tesumesh holes. The cradle bars mount in front and belind those holes. I think the two narrow holes on this 300 frame are for the front cradle bar. The 8 HP engine bracket is mounted in the same holes as the large Kohler and Tesumseh engines. -
Does the shaft come to a positive stop when you rotate it counter clock wise? just wondering if the flag on the inside is dammaged.
