Had a splitter like that growing up, mounted on a bench in an old chicken coop, my brother and I didn’t treat it very well, and it broke….we went like a month hand splitting logs before my dad had it fixed, man after that we treated that splitter like it was made of gold.
32:40 FUEL TANK: fill it full of white vinegar, PLUG/block all holes. Leave sit for 5 days, or so. Drain out. Rinse with dish soap and hot hot water. Rinse out with DE-natured alcohol (absorbs moisture) to dry out welded/pressed together seams. Use CASWELL fuel tank sealer, on the inside. DO NOT use Red Kote, as it doesn't protect metal from modern 'ethanol' gas. Rotate tank, several times, maybe adding a bit more CASWELL. (follow instructions carefully) Good luck, Taryl and Co. !
Very cool machine! It's so simple in design as well. Love the old Briggs engines. When I was a kid I had a go cart and drove a Briggs 5 HP around the whole county for several years when I was a kid.
Hi Taryl. When I saw that engine I thought that's old. I've worked on the same engines and I just cleaned up and gapped the points. Didn't know there was an upgrade ignition pack for them. I'm in the UK so it might cost too much to send it out from the USA with import taxes if that's where I can only get it from. I found that getting them to run properly is watching the mech and setting it so it doesn't move as much. I prefer machinery that you can adjust the mix on unlike modern stuff. I do like "pre health and safety" equipment 🤣
My reasoning behind cleaning the flywheel is the rust adds to the size of the flywheel so the clearances are wrong when you set the gap for the coil and the rust makes it hard to set the gap and the rust left there will grow over time to close the gap and cause issues down the road. It only takes a minute to clean it up like Taryl showed, so why not do the job right.
the best philosophy that i can think of is '' well , when it was '' new '' it was clean and no rust , plus it started and idled like it was supposed to '' . everytime i work on the magnetic flywheel, i make sure that all the rust is removed from it, so that it works like the first day it passed final inspection .
I love it how you do the little things that actually do make a big difference in my book , for instance when you cleaned the rust of the magneto! GrassRats Forever!
I have the same engine, sitting out in my shed right now, and it runs like a dream on one to two pulls. I bring it out once a year and service it, to make sure it remains working properly. When running, these engines run like a dream. I keep it around as a small snow blower replacement engine, on an older single stage blower from Eaton's. Blower may be old, but it has plenty of guts, and still works well. It's a blower from the 50's, and still runs great. I did have an issue with the fuel tank, on the engine I now have on it. Got a new free tank from company, but am still awaiting the arrival of the fuel nipple for the tank. Should be here in a couple of days, then it's put it back together and fire it up. It also runs great (when it gets fuel that is). Noticed the tank leaking fuel, when I fired it up for it's yearly service. Don't want any fires, or explosion's. Tank is completely double lined on the bottom, so I couldn't fix the leak, where it was leaking from. Company was nice enough to supply a new tank, and fuel nipple art no cost to me. To them I am grateful. It's a "Champion" 6 hp. over-head valve engine. I own 3 gas blowers of various hp. and one electric blower, so I'm ready for the winter season that's not that far away now. All will be ready and running for the winter months.
I have a old Montgomery Wards rear tine tiller that was given too me because the owner got sick and tired of it "running out of gas" at half a tank. It had a split fuel line just like that one. I repaired it with the old go to JB Weld been using it for the past 26 gardening seasons (we have 2 here in La.) Best freebie I ever received.
Good video! I enjoy how you showcase unusual gas motor tech that we don't see everyday and how you explain repairs in a way that most people can understand.
Hi Taryl, Fun video, I have cleaned tanks as bad as, or maybe, even worse than the one you tossed, so you have my symphony. I have a log splitter like what you mention at the end of your video. It was designed to be bolted onto one of the drive wheels of a car or truck and use the same method as you demonstrated to split the logs. I have had it since the 70s, but I don't know when they started making them. The construction is substantial, as the piece weighs about 30 lbs. I never used it, and just have it as a curiosity.
i find that in some these cases the bean counters win and force engineers ot do dumb things. like those chrysler magnuvm v8s that leaked because they used the same size bolts for a few things that were to long for the intake pan
I saw a video of a guy that had this type of wood splitter that was hooked up to a front wheel drive car on blocks. The car engine was the motor and the front right wheel was what the spinner was attached to. Old school but it works. Great video.
Thanks Taryl. I never used one of these. I know they made them to fit cars. A friend had one that ran off the pto of his tractor. It must have been geared down - even a slow pto is 540 RPM. And IIRC it was higher off of the ground. We did build a splitter out of an old New Holland (I think) bailer. The compression mechanism would ram the log into a stationary splitting bit that was welded to the frame. This thing was great for working alone - set a log on the frame rail and go get another piece while the first one was splitting. It had a 5hp B&S and we used a long fan belt, mounted on the huge flywheel to drive the ram. We also used a small pulley to slow the ram down a little. If you tried to split a piece that was too gnarly, the fan (drive) belt would just run off the edge of the flat flywheel. I wish I still had it today.
Pretty Cool T, I have to hand it to you......can tell you respect the power of even the smallest engines! Notice how you had positioned yourself and not compromised safety. Two thumbs up!!
Taryl you are right on the magnet on them being cleaned. I have hit miss engines. On the magneto on those engines it makes a difference. A clean magnet will be better than one that has rust all over it. Yes it will spark with rust. But a clean one will be better. I recharge my magnets but I do have a magnet charger to do it with. But I'm working on magneto that's 100 years old or so. But I do enjoy working on them. I also love your videos. It makes my Sunday when you put them out. Thanks for sharing information. Have a great day.
Used one of those years ago worked pretty good. Had a four by four post platform cemented into ground to raise it up. Was effective but make sure your not spilling green wood! And if you wear gloves make sure they’re tight!!!
Had a cone splitter like that, went on a tractor PTO. The end was @ 6" good steel, the larger part of the cone was aluminum. We broke the alum where it joined 2x, on sycamore or osage orange. Finally got a hydraulic splitter
I had a neighbor that had a log splitter like this fastened to the rear axle of a RWD car or truck. He was a logger, and brought "home" some of the limbs and tops from some huge trees, and made money on the side. He also sold slabs for fences or sheds.
I know this is ' small lawn mower engine devices ' but one of my friends had a yard where they took logs from tree cutting service. At the yard he had an old Pontiac stripped to the frame from dashboard back. He ran hydraulic pump with the 400 motor and the back of the car was log splitter. He said it still had working air conditioning.
your skits are a trip😂 another nice job Terrell.... thx. I think swinging a log splitter would be less stress on a person's back. Lifting, throwing, bending.... yea, when I was 30.... no way now. Suppose you laid the log on the bar, then lifted only one end and pressed into it.. that way only 1/2 the weight actually loads your back. Cool vid. You get the neatest equipment in there and have knowledge to "fix anything"
Dad made one on his lathe to mount on our 51 Dodge pickup. One wheel would be on the ground, the other would drive the point. It worked pretty good once you got the height of the wheel correct so it woudn't just spin. Slam the logs onto the point and let go, the left hand thread drew it on until it split. Dangerous as heck.
Little Johnny is the most disturbing character to me. Between the teeth, the lack of IQ and the voice. The final halloween episode for this year should be something really bad happening to little Johnny. Loss of limb, accidentally fed into tree shredder. Immolation. Use your imagination! Thumbs up, Taryl!
How neat. The way it works is really nothing like the way I thought it would work. Really cool. The only problem I could see is that the logs have to be a certain length so that they reach the horizontal bar.
Some people might think, "I could split over 3 logs in the amount of time it takes that to split one." Well let me tell you, these probably weren't made for just doing 1 or 2 logs each use, they were probably made for people who split logs as part of a job or people who just split a lot logs very often, cause if you're splitting like 30 logs, it obviously would be nicer to have a machine do it for you, rather than taking an ax and splitting 30 logs in a row by hand, cause that would get extremely tiring.
Taryl, what do you think about using a filter for a weed eater and a short piece of hose attached to the brake tubing to repair a bad OEM fuel pick up? Interesting splitter but I think I'll keep using my hydraulic splitter.
Right on Taryl! I feel the same way about rust on the flywheel and I don't care what they say, besides what is the harm in cleaning it. And... if it's that much trouble for someone to clean the rust off the flywheel then don't, leave it on there, I really don't care.
You had a maul? Lucky. All my dad gave us brothers for splitting fire wood was an ax. Even though we learned quickly to strike precisely and with a full measure of teenage manly force, we sometimes had to use a piece of lumber as a hammer to get the ax to finish the job. Yes, chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever.
I have had an issue with excessive rust on the magnet on a fly wheel...it was on an ice auger....and it caused the auger to run horribly and ground its self out and shock me when going to shut it off.....I sanding the laminates on the coil and the magnet on the fly wheel and it runs perfectly fine now
I had one of them carburetors that the plastic screen pickup piece was broke. Connected a piece of weed eater fuel line onto the metal tube, with a weed eater type fuel filter. Didn’t have any problems with the repair
Woow First time seeing something like this. Great engineering skills. There is always a different way to do things. Nice to learn something today. Great Video Taryl Regards from Wisconsin When you start the additive experiment again? What you going to test now?
In the early 80s, I worked at a Fireplace and stove store. We were a dealer for the splitting cone, but it came with an adapter that attached it to the rear wheel drum of your jacked-up vehicle. It would gather quite a crowd at the fair watching the cone split wood.
Thank you for another great video. Regarding converting points to electronic, I have a Stihl 041 with points that I got new many moons ago. Cold starts have always been very difficult. I would love to convert it to electronic. It doesn't look easy because the coil is located behind the flywheel. Maybe you could do a video on how to do it? If not, maybe you could say a few words about it in your next video in order to point me in the right direction. Thanks for all your videos.
for the broken fuel rail pickup , the break line is a good one, but also use weed eater fuel line and weighted filter. or , heat the fuel filter off the fuel rail and slide heat shrink tubing on it [ heat it thoroughly ] then reinstall the fuel filter [ if it not bad or broken ] . really interesting machine you worked on there. i am sure it took a while working on it to get it right. that skit of '' the onan '' , very funny . seeing that blonde kid with a huge buck teeth clift made my spirit turn , and was like ahhhhhh get away. at the end i could not get enough breath to laugh straight. 5000 thumbs up !
I stopped using the tygon stretchy fuel line because it falls apart every other year or if disturbed. I now use the firmer clear blue line from stens(rated for 100% ethanol), echo black fuel hose and stihl fuel hose because it lasts 10+ years even when exposed to E10 fuel. Its a 200+ dollar investment getting the new assortment and it costs folks a extra couple bucks per foot but It pretty much stopped the failed fuel line rush when the seasons change or after a random storm.
AGREE Rust does make resistance I wire wheel my flywheels at least one time every couple years. Keep in mind they sell flywheels , coils and new engines as part of there business.
My dad has one we used to be able to bolt to any 8 bolt pickup truck hub. It don't get used anymore. He just stands it in a corner, and calls it his time-out chair.
If engine gets a lot of use ,then its a good ideal to remove the flywheel and replace the points opening plunger with the small metal plug, the plunger will wear over time and cause oil leak.

Why are you putting the air filter backwards the wider part goes to the top like a slice of bread on a sandwich
You had a good father that taught you a good lesson.

Fuel stem, just use a short piece of the brake line then add a hose and weighted filter.
I was thinking the same thing, you can even put one of those fuel filters on the end like the one used on the Echo leaf blower video.
Yep.. I used the filters that go in chainsaws...
I love the onan engines when they run they run great would love to see more onan engine videos
I love them too, there powerful and make great sound

Another way of saying the guy who finishes bottom of the engineering class is still able to find work.
Must of then worked for VW then
Engineers are merely robots being told what to do. The sales and marketing are the ones to blame.
Or..... Maybe a guy who had an idea for a product, but didn't know much about manufacturing or r&d, so prototype #1 ends up on the assembly line.
i find that in some these cases the bean counters win and force engineers ot do dumb things. like those chrysler magnuvm v8s that leaked because they used the same size bolts for a few things that were to long for the intake pan

The hand protectors we put on dirt bike handle bars for woods riding are called bark busters also.
"Ya hear that? All the Ricky Bobby's went ta bed."

No nearly as fast as a hydraulic splitter, but way more serviceable. Pretty slick old machine!
Used one of those years ago worked pretty good. Had a four by four post platform cemented into ground to raise it up. Was effective but make sure your not spilling green wood! And if you wear gloves make sure they’re tight!!!
Great video. It was a perfect comedy and a great informational documentary. Love the humor.
The voice adjustment for when I'm talking about small engines isn't as easy as I'd hoped. Whenever I think about a small engine, Taryl is in my head.
Wow, it actually works well. Great video!
I used to use a bark buster that ran off of the pto on a tractor.
Evil Johnny was gonna use it as a “butt buster” on Tyrell…lol. Good save gramps.🔥🔥💯👌🏻
Love that you showed it split logs.....your awesome as always
Neat little vintage splitter.
That’s a pretty neat contraption. Thank you for your hard work. You know you do a lotta hours making videos for us.

There was a version that bolted on to a rear wheel of a car. Worked great.
That’s what my Dad used but he fixed it to a 8hp bs engine and it was a getter done
Great job! As always. This log splitter looks as if it belongs in a SAWS movie.
Bought one of these new in 1976 it worked great! Payed about 200 bucks!!
Very cool tool havent ever seen one these. Seems to work well its so simple.

I was born in 1978 in Phoenix Arizona thanks Terrell dactyl I like splitting logs to I live in Tennessee now
Nice fix. Well done. Runs nice. Dangerous as hell. But back when, it was better than nothing. The 1 for the car wheel worked too, just used more gas.
Dad made one on his lathe to mount on our 51 Dodge pickup. One wheel would be on the ground, the other would drive the point. It worked pretty good once you got the height of the wheel correct so it woudn't just spin. Slam the logs onto the point and let go, the left hand thread drew it on until it split. Dangerous as heck.
The acting in this is so awesome. Made my night. The info was great too.
haha Johnny is like William Mummy in that Twilight Zone episode. "That's real good that you turned that man into a Jack in the Box. Real good".
I agree with you Taryl rust does create resistance.
Patient lifts are perfect for small engine use. I use mine for motorcycle engines.
🎶 Shake hands with Danger 🎶 🎵 *guitar riff warning*
You should definitely do a skit where little Johnny gets carried away with the log splitter.

the plastic card from a micro-fische machine works nice for setting the air gap.
that thing is awesome, love seeing new stuff on your channel!
for the broken fuel rail pickup , the break line is a good one, but also use weed eater fuel line and weighted filter.
or , heat the fuel filter off the fuel rail and slide heat shrink tubing on it [ heat it thoroughly ]
then reinstall the fuel filter [ if it not bad or broken ] .
really interesting machine you worked on there.
i am sure it took a while working on it to get it right.

That’s cool looks like it does a better job in the modern ones
I love all your skits!
We had the version that bolted to your tear axle. Worked on everything except gum. Never knew they put it on its own powerplant.
AGREE Rust does make resistance I wire wheel my flywheels at least one time every couple years. Keep in mind they sell flywheels , coils and new engines as part of there business.
Good luck finding a new flywheel for an engine that old.
I love your videos very informative and funny thanks
Really enjoy the intro and finally on the mini movie, lots of imagination,
Never Ever saw one of those before.. Great Video, Like always!!
we had one of the car mounted ones when I was a kid. I just realized we were using it wrong the whole time. We used to split logs lengthwise
No you didnt
More like the Backbuster lol
It would be pretty handy though if set up on a table or anything to get it up off the ground like you said.
Out standing,,that's wild,I never seen one of those,,
@Taryl, It's better to burp and taste it than to fart and waste it !
Love your informative videos !!!
Lololo good one ☝️
My dad has one we used to be able to bolt to any 8 bolt pickup truck hub. It don't get used anymore. He just stands it in a corner, and calls it his time-out chair.
Thanks last conversion kit I saw you had to remove points an condenser then put a plat in this is real easy
If engine gets a lot of use ,then its a good ideal to remove the flywheel and replace the points opening plunger with the small metal plug, the plunger will wear over time and cause oil leak.
