Very happy to find this Forum. Have been a wood lover and user for many years. I just read a very good book called “Norwegian Wood” by Lars Mytting. Well worth reading by anyone who loves wood.
I was just given an older 22 ton Duerr splitter of unknown age, by someone who said “I borrowed it from my grandpa about 20 years ago. It stopped running and I got a good deal on a new splitter and don’t have time to mess with it.”
It has a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton motor. The head is aluminum. It has no spark. New plug also has no spark. I think it probably has points and condenser ignition. I haven’t been able to find the serial number on the motor.
Anybody have suggestion about where the serial number is on the motor, and/or other points of interest about B&S engines? Also am interested in comments about these Duerr beasts.
