Just bought a mid 90's Bobcat 853 with the Isuzu 4JB1 4 cylinder Diesel, not running. It's been sitting for at least 2-3 years and had some minor parts removed for other machines so I decided to just get the engine going first, and figure out what may be missing later. I completely disconnected...

Converted my heavy duty 15 ton log splitter to electric-variable speed drive 7.5hp. As you may remember my previous posts about this new to me splitter, with seized engine, pipe fittings etc., which I updated with a Kohler 14HP engine. Well, it split fir but couldn't do maple, so I ordered a...

Well, the splitter is finally done, except for updating the pipe fittings. I'm starting a separate thread as it is now a completely different splitter...well at least different power. :cool2: Think I'll put it in "hydraulics" as this is more of a technical hydraulic post now. Sneak peak...

As you may have seen in my other posts, I have a splitter with a 3.5" cylinder and 14HP Kolher electric start engine, which may be changed to an electric of 5-7HP someday...anyway. The pump on it is all wrong for this size engine so I am looking for a 16GPM or maybe a 22GPM...ebay has USA...

Help ID this hydraulic pump please....my new log splitter project :confused: I bought a new to me, very well built splitter, in need of a new engine...and I can't figure out what this pump is. It has 739-18 stamped on the side but no other mfr or p/n that I can find. Can someone step up and...

Old Bobcat Aux hydraulics vs stand alone gas engine log splitter, your thoughts? Hi Guys, Still trying to decide which way to go for my log splitter. I have some big Maple to split and would like something 25+ tons. I have both 4" and 5" cylinders, all the valves etc. but can't decide which...

Hi Guys, I found this site in my search for log splitter ideas as I have many cords of maple and ponderosa pine to split. BIG BIG logs. There are lots of great ideas and splitters posted here. Nice work everyone! Already broke my 8lb maul so it's time for some hydraulics. I borrowed a friends...
