Thank you Richard!

I've been all over the web looking for #1- a parts manual, and #2- the correct part. At one point I found a new-old stock complete pump but my web service went down before I could order it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just tape off and spray paint a 1/2" line on the splitter beam. Anything over goes to the firepit pile right off.

Yep, and my to-do-list has a new entry. Build a 4 cord firewood shed (much) closer to the back porch! I'll still fill the 12' x 12' shed over 100' away, but I hate the thought of shoveling.

I'm pretty happy to have a 12 x 13 x 20 shelter logic tent to keep the seat dry! Rain, snow, and dew are always present in Maine. I can also leave the chainsaw on the tractor with no fear of rusting out the muffler. I set it up on 6 x 6's and built a back wall to add weight, and the wall allows...

Logs and Grapple tip: You don't always have to LIFT logs! Most times you can just cage the log and roll it out of the way. I have used two different style grapples recently. This was the best lesson I learned while cleaning up [old] storm damage.

I bought my conversion stuff from Vevor, on sale. I had to covert my loader for DuAl quick attach to SSQA, (quite a bit of thinking) and someone gave me a 30 yer old kubota bucket that I had to cut the pin-on brackets and stiffener off to add the QA plate. Having everything fit tight/perfect is...

Either way, a logg catcher/table is priceless! I'm hoping to build one for my splitter this winter.

Most wood splitters are backwards! The wedge should always be on the end of the beam. This allows way less handling and the firewood can drop to a belt conveyor or into a low enough trailer or truck. Good photos Rob!

I just bought a new but preowned quick hitch for my 1986 38hp Ford tractor. Turns out Cat 1 is 29" wide, and while it will go on the lift bars, none of my attachments are wider than 22". Is there a company that makes a Cat 0 quick hitch? (google failure)

He did not say "new" or "$200" . . . Unless you're seeing words he didn't write, I thought my advice was rather sound.

Twenty bucks or less on marketplace. Only because I rarely need one, and there seems to be an endless supply on there. Especially this time of year.

This screen is 4' x 6' made with 1/4" straight rod, and one inch openings. (flat, not woven) I have also thought about the shaker, but My OCD brain would explode knowing something is out of balance! Especially on purpose. Then there is the whole maintenance deal with something rarely used. I...

I've had this screen kicking around for several years. I picked it up as 'scrap' with a bunch of scrap during a clean up job. And I had a few red oak logs laying in the yard from this spring. (browntail killed the oak) So while milling lumber, and the last logs in the yard were the oaks, I cut...

So on and off though out the summer I've been cleaning up and pushing stumps that was dumped here 6 years ago. Yesterday I decided to dig in my pit and build up a small camper pad at one edge of the pit. This evening after dinner I was shaving a bank, and opened up (found) a nice vein of pin...
