I have a ton of wood to split before the snow comes. Of course, my trusty log splitter's Briggs and Stratton engine decided to self-destruct. Luckily we have a Harbor Freight Store nearby and they had an inexpensive engine that looked like it would work. Here's how I did the replacement.
Things I used:
* Harbor Freight 5.5Hp Vertical Shaft Engine ( harborfreight.com/55-hp-173cc-ohv-vertical-shaft-gas-engine-epacarb-69731.html )
* Steering Wheel Puller ( amzn.to/3Gpitk2 )
* PB Blaster ( amzn.to/3T1E0ae )
* Allen Wrenches ( amzn.to/3NaDfI7 )
