I made a homemade log splitter and I am trying to run it off my Farmall M beely pump. I mounted a 2 way valve on the splitter. I have 2 lines comming off my standard M. 1 for pressure and the other going into a T on the vent/fill for the belly pump. I am using quick couplers to hook up the log splitter. I lock the hydraulic lever for the pump with a vice grip. Pretty standard stuff. I have it where the cylinder moves back and forth on the splitter but it does not have enough power to split wood. The one problem I see is I have fluid comming out of the fill/vent on the M when I try and split but I am thinking its because I over filled it. But it seems like there is alot of fluid on the ground. Another potential problem is my cylinder might be to small but I am not sure. Its a 24" stoke with a 1 1/2" shaft and a 3" body. Can someone tell me if this cylinder is to small or should I beable to split some kind of wood with it. And I am sure the M has the power but maybe not. Am I missing something or can someone tell me what it might be? Thanks

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
