Friday the 13th Bad Luck?

   / Friday the 13th Bad Luck? #11  
Sometimes repairs go better than expected. I had been meaning to repair a cracked weld on my 22 ton splitter but a particularly stubborn knotty cherry broke it bad before I got the chance. I tried hammering the backstop back into position with a sledge but no dice there.

I wrapped a small log chain around the wedge, chained it to the backstop, fired up the little Honda motor, and damned if it didn’t pull itself right back into position. I layed about (5) sticks of 6011 on there and now it’s a much stronger joint than when it left the factory 25 years ago.
