Well it's coming along. Maybe pictures is a few days. If somebody doesn't give you all of what you need it isn't cheap but may be better than store bought; and maybe not.

I got into this and started buying parts and doing the math and all and have gone through several cycles of "am I doing the right thing" but I am in it and have to continue or loose the investment.

Today things are moving right along. I am encouraged at the progress and it will work. Bad part is that I am in it at around $600 and I had the splitter with 4x24 cylinder and 15 hp tractor to power the cylinder rather than my tractor. To do it right costs just keep adding up.

But you need the fluid tank, pump, the control valve, adapters so that you can belt drive the pump as the larger air cooled engines are not setup to direct drive pumps (hydraulic or water) , belt that will drive 15 hp and sheaves, high press. hyd hoses, machine shop work to build adaptors you can't as you don't have an end mill and on and on.

Today I dismembered the wiring harness attempting to adapt it to the requirements: Engine start, alternator to battery, engine kill. Seems simple enough but the Scotts wiring harness was a total night mare. One minute 12v is on red, then on black like house wiring, not electronics. Ground is yellow, but white is engine kill. Start is green from the switch, but green provides the ground for the head lights. I guarantee you If I were the supervisor and some dim witt sent me this wiring harness schematic to use to build no telling how many lawn mowers, I would have him by the nap of the neck and the belt and throw him out of the plant.

Will take some pics, maybe and post in a few days. Lots of parts not in yet.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
