No, i thougt i was missing the piston head for the auto shift piston so i ordered a new one than fount is was there the whole time,(whasted $40.00).put new o rings on the piston plunger & head & still wont kick the low speed valve on.So not sure what is next,the manual shows it should have a psi guage & mine does not,so i am looking in to putting one on so i can see if i have the proper pressure. i asked the guys @ webb farm supply if i could send my auto shift assy down to see what thay might be the prob & poss put in on another unit , but he told me he would not have any one avail to look at it,.

I wish I lived closer. There should be no play in the piston, page 37 of the manual, yours is assembled with all parts listed? Nothing looks worn?

You could ship it to me. I'll take a look see (inside) and put it on my splitter and see what she does.

 

[HOPPY22]

that would be great,i will pay for your time, please P.M me your shipping address & i will ship it out.

Please don't ruin a really cool design with "improvements". Instead call Lowell Webb at Webb Chain Saw in Soquel, CA. When Piqua Engineering went out of business Lowell bought up all the parts they had and he made many replacement parts. Webbs is the only place I know of to get parts for Lickety Log Splitters.

Here is the web site for Webb Chain Saw: Webbs-farmsupplies. The phone number is 831-475-1020.

I have a Lickety Log Splitter model EK308 that was given to me. The PO had run the engine out of oil and then lost most of the parts for the engine after disassembling it. They asked me to haul it to the dump for them. Instead I hauled it home.

I found another Kohler 8hp (K181 model) on the internet that I rebuilt. This 30 year old log splitter outpaces most new splitters friends own. You have a very good machine and with a little TLC you will have it running again. I live in Santa Cruz. If you want to pull it down I can take a look at it for you and better yet you can take it to Lowell and have one of the best look at your machine. Lowell is a rare breed. He will spend a lot of time helping perfect strangers. Webbs is a 3rd generation owned business and they treat customers right.

I have an all american log splitter by piqua engineering. It has an hydraulic leak and I can't get the big nut off the front. Would you have any suggestions for me?:msp_sad:

Just copy it and send it to the next guy that needs one and we'll be good.

Did you ever get her running right? I am having the exact same problem and could use a manual as well.

Am wondering why the splitter handle won't stay in the locked position without me holding it.

Welcome to the site Paul. Just checking, is your splitter a Lickity? They are different from all other splitters, and haven't been made for about 40 years. If it is a Lickity there are guys here that know them pretty well and will be happy to help you out.

Your holes in the handle and the latch are wallered out.
Drill them to the next size bigger bolt or pin.
