My friends dad, had the cylinder blow the bottom out on a log splitter he's had for 30 years. It did have a factory weld, but I think the metal was fatigued, I did not see it though, hard to say. He brought it to a stee fabricator we know for welding.
My question is, is something like this even worth welding up again, thinking the metal is fatigued, oil impregnated, and the pressures involved would'nt it be dangerous ? You hate to think that the bottom could blow off again, don't want to be in it's path. This bugs me as I don't want to see my friends dad get injured from something that is what like $100 to just replace ?
Appreciate your thoughts on this, as I'd like to to tell him if it is dangerous, before he gets the thing back in his yard, just get the darned replacement cylinder and be done with it.
