"I recently had a hydraulic pump failure on my log splitter due to contamination of the hydraulic oil. After disassembly of the system I found the manufacturer had not installed a strainer in the reservoir and dirt was able to be drawn directly into the pump. I purchased a suction strainer from Northern Tool and modified the tank by welding a pipe flange to accept the threads on the strainer. The new pump will be protected from contaminants and the high quality strainer can be serviced when necessary. I also installed a hydraulic filter on the return circuit to remove fine dirt particles and maximize the life of the pump. Northern Tool has great products at reasonable prices."
