Splitter Storage

[Kool_hand_Looke]

I've got a Husky log splitter I resurrected from abuse...I'd like to keep in in my garage thats attached but kind of lack the storage. For now. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but does anyone stores theirs vertical?

I store mine verticle. Maybe thats why I seem to get air in it?

In your hydraulic fluid?

I occasionally experience no movement of the cylinder when moving the hydraulic lever back for a return.
This is after replacing the valve, pump, suction hose etc.

I've stored my 31 ton MTD vertically for months at a time and never had an issue.

I had it near my stacks at the edge of the yard / woods one winter covered with a tarp. Mice built a nest in the engine blower housing and ate the ground wire between the ignition coil and kill switch. One pull of the rope and that flywheel turned intself into a nifty blender right quick.
