Got to work the other morn. There sits a Poulan log splitter. I asked the boss who it belongs to. A friend let him use it. The hydrualic cyl. is leaking. His friend had to weld the base end of the cyl. barrel once before. I took the splitter apart and after some time found 3 tiny pin holes in the weld. Burned a couple of patches on it and put everything back together. Works good, no leaks. Question is, How the heck do you blow the back end off a cyl. like that? I"ve been known to push stuff to the limit but that seems like he had to try to ruin that cyl.

One possible reason is that the company that made the cylinder did a poor job welding the end in the first place.

After doubling as company service manager and signing warranty claims, I came to believe the old adage: "Some people can break an anvil with a 1 pound hammer".

...I had an uncle who did just that. Grampa got a new anvil back in the 50's. My uncle was just tapping it with a hammer - kinda like playing the drums. Well grampa was just about to play the drums on him when he hit it just right. "PING" knocked off bout half of the square end. Grampa went "BOOM". He didn't have it for two weeks and now had to cart it 40 miles back to town and explain how it got broke. Bad cast so they said and swaped it out. Afterwards he bought the broken one back for scrap and use for many a year. Few years ago my uncle paid $200+ to get that anvil (broken one) at the estate auction.
