Splitting stand thread ???

[Clubless]

Looking for thread that uses trailer jack to build rolling splitting stand. I looked in “how to” section but didn’t find it.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Gary

I am currently working on finding the lost pix.

Yes Barnyard that’s the one I was looking for. I appreciate you finding it for me.

Thinking I want to try my hand at splitting cub for potential clutch or transmission repair. Never done it.

Thanks

My stand goes farther back on the next set of holes in the drive shaft tube much closer to the centerline of the tractor. I used a steel angle as a cross beam to two trailer jacks. My cross beam is as wide as the rear tires are for stability. My next plan was to use the square hole in the bolster for a tripod setup using three trailer jacks.

BigBill,
Do you have some pictures of your splitting stand?

Thanks,

Here is mine. I used 6" wide stock and added an extra hole so it could be attached to either side. I also drilled two holes so I could store the attaching bolts so they didn't get lost.

Ooo, I like those threaded "storage" holes!! Great idea, Bill.

One thing I will add, make sure the holes are not in a position to keep you from getting to both bolts with a ratchet...one of mine was just a tad too close to the jack, and I have to use a combo wrench to install it...a real PITA!!
