Last time I was out I lost the coil on the lickity log splitter I bought. Found a new one @110.00........ So I had some stuff lying around and came up with this.
Battery box, toggle switch, old 12v coil, ballast resistor, and a little ingenuity, I made it run for a total investment of just my time.
I was fortunate the old K181 had points so all I needed was power and a coil. I know it won't self charge but, I will wear out before the battery dies!
Even might mount this super quiet muffler on too!
I will brace it of course! Muffler is off a farmall A tractor.

Hickory!!
Good stuff. A friend of mine has a BBQ restaurant. He cooks with green Hickory only; no gas and no electric. Another friend does the BBQ competition circuit. He uses pecan. He tells me nobody cooks with hickory at competition.
How did yours turn out? I tried smoking meat a few years ago. It did not turn out too well. I don't have the patience.
Good job Mike! As long as it has points and condensor most any coil will get it fire.

Yup it sure is morning.
As much as the rain is appreciated, a week or two of dry days to get the hay put up would also be appreciated.

When I was about a 12 y.o., we drug a Wizzer motorbike home from grandpa's shop. It wouldn't run due to the failed magneto. Dad hooked up a car coil and battery to it and got it running.
Sadly, we returned it to grandpa as Dad didn't want me on a dangerous motorcycle.................................Missed my chance to be a biker.
Jim: Get the Wards 5.0?

That is top-notch! Much better than some of the hack jobs I do to get equipment running again. Nice work indeed. I'll be filing that information away for future reference.
Morning all!!!
Jim: Got an answer from seller about the Wards 5.0".
Q: Why have you relisted? The original auction looked to be completed.
A: This is a different saw shorter bar and has compression release just that oiler doesn't work.Thanks for looking

It was fantastic...
I've used Pecan, Oak, Maple,Hickory, Mesquite, Hedge, Cherry, and Apple...
They'll all work, but some have to be good and dry. Also helps to knock the bark off..

Split about a cord of oak this morning. Started at 6:30. My neighbors love me.
Had a counter top to cut up in pieces to get into the trash container. Looked around for an old dog to use to cut it up and the PL-4 was closest to me. Fired up on one pull and away we went cutting through that garbage. Didn't hit too many nails. Might make me a good stumpin'/trenching saw.
