Hey John. Nice find on the Lickity Split! That diesel rebuild shop was amazing. That guy must have a heck of a memory to find things with all that inventory. See you at Bunyan… - Dick
That is my kind of Diesel shop. Did he have the PTO? After dreaming of that splitter for 50 years, you finally got one ! Good job ! Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
Isn't it fun to get something you always wanted. Something tells me it will end up parked in one of your storage places collecting dust. But thanks for sharing.
Hi John. That parts warehouse is amazing & awesome. My best friend is a great motor/ engine person. He's studies the computerized cars & trucks. So. He can repair or add a new part. My best friend is like your Jeffrey. My best friend will be 61 yrs old this year. I'll be 64 this year. I never heard of that brand of wood splitter. I believe. Your wood splitter is a" antique find." Despite it's age. It should continue to run great. Anyway. It great to see you happy John. 🥰😊😉👍Anyway. Have a good Saturday the 27th. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🪵
HELLO, MR. CLARK VERY GOOD SHOW, THAT DIESEL SHOP HAS A LOT OF OLD IRON TREASURES, I WOOD HAVE BEEN THE KID IN THE CANDY STORE ALSO. YOU ALWAYS SHOW A BUCNCH OF INTERESTING THINGS. THAT PTO. CLUTCH FORK IS NOT JUST USED FOR DETROIT'S. THE PTO BOX SHOULD HAVE A NAME TAG, OR STAMPED NAME SOMEWHERE ON IT, LIKE FUNK, MUNCIE, CHELSEA. GLAD YOU FOUND WHAT YOU NEEDED; PLUS GOT SEE ALL THAT INVENTORY, THEY HAVE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW TOY IN ACTION.
Hi John. I just watched Back 40 and saw the Wolfe Ridge stroke limiter. Yes, the Lickity has this as you mentioned and the reason Lickity is better is because while you're splitting you may encounter a longer piece that needs a little extra stroke length. If the stroke limiter is working correctly on a Lickity, just run the ram out a bit and push down on the end of the bar with the teeth (best to use your foot) and let the ram return to "home". Let the bar spring back up and on the next return stroke you're right back where you were. Cant do that on the Wolfe Ridge set up. Not knocking Wolfe Ridge - heck i bought one. Just pointing some of the ingenuity that went into these old machines. By the way, the man who patented the Lickity Log Splitter was Clayton Bruckner. Brilliant man and worth a google look up. Looking forward to your journey with these splitters.
I remember looking at the lickety log splitter when it was new at the Farm Science show sponsored by Ohio State University. I decided to buy a Danuser log splitter which I still have and use Nice finds there John
hi there these are getting a bit hard to find , always had memories of these but never even saw one , now i have one , hope to play with it some today , glad your here john
@@fricknjeep I always wanted a Zyliss vise for my shop. I didn't need it, I just wanted one. They aren't made anymore. I found an unused one in its box. It's mine now. Kind of my trophy toy.
Good morning John,I think the log splitter works with a system that lets oil from the tank flow freely with a poppit valve then when it needs high pressure will close and the speed of the cylinder will slow down and split the piece of wood (kind of like a toilet tank with a rapid water dump)this method is very old and I've seen this on old hydraulic presses from the 1960s,
I owned two of these 2 speed splitters for many years. The main ram tube has two chambers. During the fast speed (low power) stroke, oil is pumped into the small chamber and pressure is applied to a smaller surface. When resistance builds, the shifter will allow oil to be pumped into the larger chamber (larger surface) and the smaller which slows the ram, but increases the pressure. That's how you get two speeds out of a single stage pump. As resistance decreases, the shifter moves the hi/lo valve back to the fast speed. I did a video or two on this. Great splitters. I sold the two speed models I had, but kept the single speed.
the danuser was only built a relativly short time. they are built as a three point tractor hookup tobe powered by the tractor hydraulics, however i bought the trailer package with a 16 hp briggs an stratton engine since i didnt own a three point tractor at the time
.. I knew a guy from Cleveland who went by Lickety Split he even had it tattooed on his arm .. our Amish for awhile converted a bunch of big V12 CAT ginnys to natural gas and sold them ... your new splitter you wanted for 50 years will pay for itself in UA-cam $ royalties split some nice wood too ..!.. nice score on the obsolete throwout bearing fork part ..!
hi there it turned out to be a great trip . interesting story , dont think y/t money will ever make that much ,but worth it just to say i have one to me . thanks for stopping in john
.. a mega dairy or landfill can run a couple V12 CAT ginnys 24/7/365 off a methane bio digester an make $ revenue off putting power into the grid only shut down for maintenance and an overhaul about every 10 years ..! @@fricknjeep
