Taryl's Personal Log Splitter Upgrade! Make It Awesome!

- In "It Came From The Parts Room", Taryl goes over his own personal log splitter that he uses often and adds a bunch of nice touches to it in order to make it easier on himself. For instance he adds an electric start to the engine and shows you how he wired that up, plus he added a log rack to the side, strengthens the beam and more!
Prior to and after the fix, 2 unlucky travelers break down in Podunk and find themselves at Taryl's mercy for the night. Taryl warns them to stay out of the parts room but after hearing a few strange noises the travelers can't help but wonder what's up there. There's always more to the story in... "It Came From The Parts Room"
And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

More Carla! Another great job by Slippers also. All splitters should come with those log catchers.
You're going to rub through your hydro oil return line on your new tray. You'll need to put a piece of sacrificial hose over the return line where it hits the tray.
Howdy cousin Taryl! Thanks for the shoutout and I'm so glad you like the centerpunch. Looks like you have yourself one fine dog splitter there. I'm sure the upgrades make it even nicer to use. Take care and keep up the great work.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
When are you going to come back around and learn us a thing or two about echos and stihls?
@@NA-pg4lf Howdy NA!! Thanks for the comment. I was up to see Cousin Taryl last year and we made a short video he put on facebook. If I recall correctly, Elkskins was driving a go kart around the parking lot. I wasn't able to make the trip this year but hopefully I can next year. I have some more ideas for a video and a few tricks up my sleeve to share with all the Taryl fans but that's only if he will let me back in the shop. He did throw me out but I'm glad he didn't throw me over the fence - LOL. It's all good fun! Take care.
You're pretty handy with making your log splitter more useful. You need to make an automatic return and they're simple to do. Extend your control handle on the bottom the same length as the top. Then you need to attach a rod to your RAM. As the ram goes out the rod will contact the bottom portion of the handle pulling it in the opposite direction. I think this might be a worthwhile video you doing that. John
I will never do this in my life. I know very little about engines or wiring. You are a good teacher. You made me understand what you are doing. Thank you.
I had some large trees taken down and logs cut to ten feet or so. Sat in yard for a year and a half. I was going to get a splitter etc. A guy came by and wanted to buy them. I said they are yours! I didn’t want money I’d a paid him to haul them away. He came with a splitter like that elec start etc. He cut them up and split them right there, hauled it away and left two face cords stacked on porch !!👍
Great Episode! You a joy to the world Taryl! Always me me smile!
I love the videos and the acting. Much better than watching television! There’s you Dinner!
My MTD log splitter came with side trays, which is a really desirable feature. I bought one of the Harbor Freight clamp on caster wheels and put it on years ago. My biggest gripe is pulling the cord and starting it in freezing weather when the hydraulic oil gets thick. An electric start feature sure would be nice.
you are supposed to split all your wood in early spring,. not the dead of winter there numb nuts, so it dries and will burn clean.
Run thinner fluid or trans fluid
Taryl, I would add a flip out extension to your catch table to extent it's capacity. Then flip it closed into the stationary table for vertical use. A pin will keep it secure when not in use. Make it narrow enough to drop into the existing table and shorter so the pivot will use the end of the existing table as a stop and the new extension will be on an incline. Great video as usual.
B&S is pretty awesome in that they have basically the same engine block for the different options. makes it super easy to add on options later if you want. I've noticed Tecumseh is usually the same way with having tapped blind holes on the block to add on a starter or a torque converter. I'd like to see a starter kit added on to a block that doesn't have the holes drilled or tapped though, that would be pretty interesting (especially figuring out the gas can if you don't have a nicely molded one like yours)
Yep, unlike Honda who go out of their way to redesign the same engine where you can't add electric start so they force customers to pay them more for the option. It was B&S who fixed Honda's decades of oil dilution mistakes too...
All of the seemingly insignificant things make your videos so interesting. Things that can be applied to other applications. Thanks.
I put a led flood light pod on the top of the boom. I use mine more in the vertical position due to cutting bigger trees (free is free). I also tend to split later in the evening because it's cooler down here.
i said the same.
Slicker than snail snot on a lily pad Taryl. Very clever upgrades on the fly.
It was good to see Carol Dactal have some lines again.
"Hazard Fraught" Love your stuff Taryl!
I do not miss messing with firewood. That's the only heat we had as a kid, until I turned 18. You never had enough firewood.
Modern epa stoves don't use so much.
thank you again , i really enjoy watching the process making the upgrades
Taryl love your channel you are a great mechanic and Fabricator thank you for all your hard work
Great skit. Enjoy all your videos.
"There goes the continental breakfast!!"
best line of the movie
Still would like to see lyrics to Ballad of Ricky
great stuff guys...improvements on the splitter are A1 job.....thanks
VERY nice work on the hog splitter Taryl! Love the improvements! You did a great job putting that all together - really cool! At first I thought the extension on the steel plate was questionable - but once I realized it would be sitting on the ground and saw it in action - it turned out better than I thought it would have. Good stuff T!
Good to see Carla again. Great video guys!
This is a great video to watch on a cloudy damp Sunday morning!
Nice conversion and improvements Mr. Taryl fixes all. Definitely an improvement.
Well you can even add an overhead work light for in the dark because you've got that extra wire on there 👍👍👍😁
Outstanding content ya'll! So many ideas and lessons exhibited as your vast experience is put to wise use. Thanks!
Great video as always! Like others have said, use that spare wire for lighting. It'll be getting darker earlier soon & the extra lights will make make operating the splitter safer & more enjoyable.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Very cool upgrades to a handy piece of equipment…👍👍
Tarryl you need two more additions to the log splitter. A wedge that splits a log 4 ways with one pull of the ram. The other add on is a t-handle with a 2inch ball to move the splitter around.
There's always room for yet more improvements. Up to the point where this thing goes out, saws the logs and splits them all on its own 🙂
One more addition could be fast advance and retraction of the ram.
Great upgrades to this machine.
Great video. I see one small problem. When the splitter is horizontal, the hydraulic return hose looks pinched or at least makes contact with the new rack you installed. Other than that, great improvements!
If the hydraulic hose is making contact with metal, it will wear in that spot and develop a leak.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL 🙏👍👍👍
Thanks Taryl.
Did similar Mods to My 35 Ton. Took the parts from a blown up 15Hp and they all fit My 12.5 Hp.
Used the AC windings for Lights on a Cross bar on the end of the Splitter Beam. I split 100% vertical so that puts the lights overhead.
My battery Box has the Electrics built in to it and it is not mounted on the Splitter since I use that set up between Machines. just set it into a holder and plug it in. Same with the Gas can, Just a holder for a Red 6 Gal Can and boat connectors,
I replaced the Jack with a 12" Dolly wheel, removed the hitch and put on a vertically pivoting Draw bar with a handle on the end, put the hitch on that. Not I can roll it around or drop the hitch on the ATV or the back of the wood trailer.
I have all the Parts to make it Self Propelled, just the intuitive to put it together..LOL
I tried the foot plate extension, but ended up bending it up since I am in the woods a lot and the area is not so flat around the Base, I just use some old 2x4/2x6 just setting there. For Elm I have a piece of Horse matt on the foot plate so the Wedge cuts all the way through.
An oil cooler is in the works too...

“The log when you take a dump!” LMAO!!!😂
Nice upgrades! This "old man' still splitting by hand, not sure for how much longer 😟 I have a friend even older than me ( 80s ) that still splits his own wood, with a log splitter. Due to recent shoulder operation he has a real difficult time with the pull start. I have to check & see if we can mount a starter. It has a Honda engine. The cradle & the foot extension are also now on my todo list.
Stay safe, Joe Z
Great job Tayrel! Like your improvements. Thanks for the video.
now it needs a telescoping work light.
I'm jealous of the electric start
Taryl......YOU ARE A GENIUS!
Great video. I also added a shelf / cradle on my MTD splitter. It makes a world of difference. Less bending and stooping.
Wow a lot of great technical details. I always learn something new when I watch your videos. I take notes so I can use them when doing similar projects.
Great video! I just love seeing improvements being done various machines and etc. Its fun to watch. Well done again Taryl and friends and I hope to see more.
A awesome video. Thanks Taryl and stay safe
i love you TARYL I learn so much from you
Nice job, especially the electrical stuff. Thanks for the laughs too 👍
What a great video thank you I have been watching your videos for a while now very informative thank you from Australia
This made my day much better:)
nice clean work taryl
The man, the myth, the legend. Elkskins! Fire it up!
The human shop rag!
Look at Elkskins just standing there...holding his wood......
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Another job well done.
Nice improvements i like the way he thinks 👍
Thanks Taryl, that was a great video.
You guys are crazy! And we LOVE crazy! Great video, nothing like making a favorite machine more useful and easier to use.
Taryl, that thing looks way to fancy. Looks like the Space Shuttle to me. 🙂
I don't know much about log splitters, to me that log splitter is a beast, but I've generally seen the smaller types.
Excellent show, like the intros to. 👏🏻✌🏻
Great job on the upgrades!
I replaced the tongue with 3x3 rube and added a short vertical peice to support the horizontal position. I had a plate bent for a log tray. As for the motor I gave into a 8hp predator. It really runs nice. You got me on the electric start!. That machine has been splitting wood for 35 years. Bought it a tractor supply for about 675.00.
Good job on the electric start. I used 1/4" cold rolled plate sized 18 x 18 for the foot. It adds a nice amount of counter weight and is super strong for splitting HUGE rounds vertically. Your side rack is ok but it needs a hand rail around it about 3 inches tall to keep wood from rolling off.. keep at it dude. Time teaches all.
Awesome video. Great upgrades
Well done! Thanks for sharing! Looks like a great splitter, better than mine!
Excellent upgrades. I really enjoyed this video! It gave me some ides for my log splitter. Now that I finally have one. Thanks Taryl !
Thank you love this video!!
Nice job Taryl I modified a couple log splitters like that great job enjoyed watching the video
As a grass rat.
Got a suggestion.
Use a piece of a small tire as a cover over the relay to keep rain and wood chips off of it. A little rubber umbrella.
Great upgrades on the log splitter.
Brilliant people love the video ♥️👁️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That is one cool job on that log splitter. I got a electric start engine I am going to be putting on my splitter as soon. As I get time.. see you'all later.
Epic Halloween Skit with a vary special guest. Good job Grass king of Podunk County.
You could make the shelf two piece on hinges and supports of some sort so that you can fold it up and pin it in place and still clear the tire.
I love you guys!!! Learning and laughing
Awesomely good video.........nice conversion and very great storyline😃
Looks great Taryl. 😁👍
Your a Man of many Talents Mr. Dactyl.
Thank you for this I really liked this episode
When I do battery cables, I always put shrink tube over the connection to help keep moisture out.
Taryl always improving stuff, Nice.👍
Its great when the parts are sitting around avaliable to use,now the scammers are gonna reply that Taryl is giving away a prize,or win something else,lol
Thanks for the video 👍
Good job as usual
Carla's always such a hoot. For a novice, she's got some real acting chops.
Great job Taryl, I like your log splitter!
Nicely done!
Very nice upgrades to that log splitter1
Great video Taryl!👍
you guys are awesome.
Carla is back!! Now there's your continental breakfast!
Love the comedy in these helpful how to videos
The splitter wedge could also be modified with two 90° angle wedges welded on the head so that you won't have to resplit the same piece of wood so many times.
I've seen that type of improvement. The wedge looks like a 4 points star. I guess they made into a regular wedge so, you don't stress the machine too much.
Great tip.
It's all good if the pump will handle it. On these mass produced versions it's often not.
@@user-neo71665 I guess, a bigger pump and cylinder cost too much, for this use.
@@rverro8478 They build them cheap as they can so they can sell them for greater profit. Bigger pumps, motors, and cylinders means they cost more. Also why the plate the log stand on with this one is so tiny, the tongue tube is made out of tubing that looks like it's gonna bend under just moving the machine, and it just has a tube instead of a real trailer jack.
Frankly I'm willing to bet this one didn't have a 8hp briggs on it new. My money is it only had a 6.5hp china engine just judging by the build of the rest.
Dam as a horror movie fan i was drawn into this scary short fast. Ypur filming techniques are actually better then most movies ive seen . You definitely need to do more story lines. And hell maybe make a few horror shorts . Super cool
Great video all around. Great Halloween skit, great engineering and work on the log splitter, cheers !
My parts room is in the basement of my house so this gives me the chills lol
Awesome video
Gave me some ideas for my wood splitter
Maybe you could source some more of that pipe and some flat stock an weld the flat stock to the upper part of the tongue that comes away from the trailer to box it in and then weld pieces of pipe over to the stiffener pilot to hold it all together. Great video!
Those "B&S" Fuel shut-off Valves are worth their weight!
Very smart Modification with the Log Cage!
These "Grass Roots" Modifications fit my needs and Pocketbook.
Someday, I would love meet you (without the fake teeth), but I am way over here in Western Washington State...
I think there's room on that splitter to add a HAMS cooler!! Nice job on the upgrades. Also good information on the flywheel swap regarding magnet location. Easily overlooked. Thanks gang for the video.
Box the channel to stiffen it up👍
Nice upgrade 👌
