This is the splitter I bought at auction a few weeks ago. I added the swivel wheel to give some support under the end of the beam. Also, in its original form, the 3pt pins were just welded inside the angle iron. With no support under the end of the beam, this was the weak spot and both pins had been rewelded. I redid the mounts per the photo.

Good looking splitter. James had the fellow that does welding for us build one that is similar to that one. We'll post pics when we actually put it to work.
 
Those firewood splitters are just great, however the one in your picture has a fundamental flaw I've seen only manufacturer address (in NZ).
The flat push head on the ram and the 'axehead' on the frame need to be swapped over. It is surprising just how hard a piece of wood can jam on the axehead and not be properly split. Then you need to use a maul or hammer to knock it off.
If you then weld an upright on the frame toward the front, as the ram retracts it carries the wood with it and wipes it off on the upright.
It it so simple and works a treat and more often than you might think.
 
It's a D19.

The 3pt I bought off of another D19 that a dealer was parting out because the rear end housing broke. It's obviously aftermarket, but I have no idea who made it or where it came from. The dealer I bought it from didn't either.

What's interesting is, the lift arms unplug from the main frame and IH 2pt implements plug right in. I have an IH 2pt blade I use on it all the time. Whether by design or co-oincidence, again I have no idea.
 
Thanks, was just wondering because it would be nice to have a 3-point hitch on our D-17 instead of the snap-coupler hitch. It look's really nice.
 
Thanks. That D19 is a 1962 and has been in the family since 1971. I bought it in 1971, then several years later I didn't need it so I sold it to my father, then when my father died I inherited it back.

I don't farm anymore, and a D19 is a bit big for an acreage tractor, but I already own it so what the heck.
 
Had one similar to that one. Worked good and what I liked about it was beening able drop it to the ground for the big logs. That way you did not have to lift them to the splitter,you just rolled them on.

You may want that wheel and support removable for that reason.

Make sure you have that the 3 pt. high enough when traveling. Other wise if the wheel hits the ground and center link doesn't allow the back to come up it may break your wheel off. This could happen when going through a low spot.

I thought of that. That's why the swivel wheel bolts to the beam instead of being welded.

There aren't that many D19's left. According to my AC book, total production was 10,597 over model years 1961 to 1964.
 
With my Snap-Coupler on my D-19, would like to have a place to fasten the top link at tractor. I can not see a easy way.
 
The top link mount was on mine when I bought it.

It appears to have been fabricated. It's a wide piece of strap iron with a hole for the pto shaft. It bolts into existing bolts beside the pto, than above the pto curves back and bolts into more existing bolts on the rear end housing.

When I get to the shop, I'll take a photo and post it.
 
Well, since we're posting pictures.........
