Cub Cadet log splitter

[Hookedagain]

27 Ton log splitter. This machine was just serviced in October. The carb was rebuilt and the hydraulic fluid changed. New seals in the valve body. Its a Honda 6.5 hp ( I believe) engine that runs fine. Both tires hold air. It has the capability to split both vertical and horizontal. The only known issue is the piston seal leaks. This started after I had it serviced. The place that did the work said it happened because after I had the valve body seal replaced the piston seal is the weak link. It still splits fine but it get messy with the end of the piston leaking. If I'm not mistaken its not a very expensive fix. Reach out if you need pictures.

Area Hydraulics in Uxbridge can do the seals. Used them years ago on a front loader piston.

Thanks Paul, I got a great deal on a 40 ton unit and this is just sitting now. I was hoping someone could use it. I'm pretty flexible, just want it out of the yard at this point. Thanks for the info though, if it sits I might just have it done.
