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.

Taryl... As a regular viewer I want to thank you for all the hours you sacrifice just to entertain us viewers! 🙂🤝👨‍🔧 Keep up the good job! 💯

I always enjoy the random "da-dums", clown honks and "zings". Really makes the video fun

I love seeing old equipment like that still in good shape and still able to split logs.

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.

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. !

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.

You'll have to do a skit where that log splitter goes rogue. Maybe you could give little Johnny a drink of that juice you drained from that old tank.

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!!

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.

Thanks for showing this machine! Pretty cool!

I just love this antique stuff with the Briggs engines on. Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪!

Great video. It was a perfect comedy and a great informational documentary. Love the humor.

Omg. Sooo cool! Thanks Taryl for the time you take for us

Great job! As always. This log splitter looks as if it belongs in a SAWS movie.

The acting in this is so awesome. Made my night. The info was great too.

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 🤣

that thing is awesome, love seeing new stuff on your channel!

Fuel stem, just use a short piece of the brake line then add a hose and weighted filter.

Loved hearing you talk about the Gear heads….. Git it Git it! Just about fell off my chair! Well Done Tarly 👍😁

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 love all your skits!

I’m in the firewood biz. And have seen these But never one work!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nice job restoring it. 👍👍👍

Nicely sorted Taryl, had to watch the tank emptying part again😂👍

Great vlog and that was a pretty cool piece of equipment can’t wait to see how you restore it.

This is some deep meta story telling. Slippers talking to slippers. Lol

WTF it talks to itsselve???? Teryl, get your pets fixed!!

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 just started following you recently. Good Job!

Wow, it actually works well. Great video!

Big T. you had me laughing so hard in this video, I am 42 YO I remember my grandfather having one of these when i was young and i would help him split wood with it. I was always trying to split hard oak with it and one day the drive shaft snapped and the gears literally went rolling away. He then took the screw head and bench mounted it on a trailer and powered it with a 12HP motor with a 2 speed transmission, talk about dangerous lol . Man this brought back memories, thanks.

taryl a just love u fixing . godbless .nice wee splitter .peace an love from scotland stu an family .

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.

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"

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 really like this channel. I've learned alot thank you guys

I've got work for little Johnny! Thanks Taryl, a good log splitter video is hard to come by!

I love your videos very informative and funny thanks

I've never seen one set up like this. Awesome

Out standing,,that's wild,I never seen one of those,,

Oh it's a drill for them teeth of yours 😉😂 lol

Taryl: If I close my eyes and listen, it sounds like the Grinch working on small engines… lol yours vids are always a joy! Keep it up

My dad built one of these when I was a kid with a Briggs long stroke 9horsepower with a 6 to 1 reduction and a cut down Chevy rear end

You should definitely do a skit where little Johnny gets carried away with the log splitter.

Thumbs up, Taryl!

I love your videos you have helped me so many times ty

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.

Kool~!!!! never saw one like that!

That would be handy to have. Great video!

Awesome fix as usual taryl…👍👍👍

T you have perfected your art a d I appreciate your wisdom. Thank you and more please

Amazingly cool video. You're awesome

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.

Very cool tool havent ever seen one these. Seems to work well its so simple.

I've always heard about these but never seen one in action before. Seems much safer then other types but pretty slow. Neat stuff!

Really enjoy the intro and finally on the mini movie, lots of imagination,

Great invention!

Ur videos are funny and educational I learned a lot can't wait 4 the next 1

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

That there is one of those log splittin machines… Way too freaking funny!

Brown paper bag is just right. Thanks for the video fun to watch.

great video taryl

Those things get me Stumped!

Nice! Had a similar attachment for an old tractor that hooked up to hydraulics that I split many a cords of wood with!

You could Bore thru a person's house as a Halloween prank,Har,Har ,Har.JUST KIDDING! Never seen this before, figured it would drill from end of log at first, pretty cool piece of equipment!

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.
