Hello everyone,
I have a northern log splitter that I have had for 15 years. There has never been any problems with it, until this year. What seems to be happening is when the blade is splitting wood, the pressure causes the filter to spray oil out. I've tightened it as hard as I can and this problem still happens after 5 minutes or so of operation. Also I've already used 2 new filters, and I know it is not the filter. Could it be the detent valve?
Please post back with help.
Thanks,
Angelo
