Hello, I am new to the site and actually stumbled onto this post through a google search for Didier Log Splitters. I just rescued one from a farm field and am trying to get it going again. The splitter sat for a few years and is in rough shape. I swapped the motor with a Harbor Freight one as many others have done. Once I got it running, I realized that the cylinder seals were completely shot and it started leaking fluid like a sieve. I pulled the cylinder apart and the cup seal around the rod was so brittle that it just crumbled. This cylinder seems easy to rebuild but I have no idea where to find a seal kit for this thing. Has anyone had any luck finding seals for these cylinders or should I bite the bullet and buy a new cylinder? Does anyone have any experience with rebuilding, or getting parts for them? I would appreciate any help or advice you guys may have. I would also appreciate if any of you would be willing to share the owners manual file with me at [email protected]
