That 6 second time is just the extend stroke?

 

 

Yessir that's correct. 

Over 6 seconds to extend. 

Just about or just under to retract.

I found a website that gives more clues on your pump.  For definite identification, you need the numbers stamped into the tag on the pump.  Seems that John S Barnes got new ownership in 1997.  The new company is Haldex Barnes Hydraulic.

 

That website is Topkitparts.

 

 

Excellent. Thanks. I'll see what's on the pump.

Noting a couple of the early posts about tractor-mounted screw splitters, I saw this at last weekend’s Zagray Farm show. 

Belt input to a couple of chain sprocket reductions under the covers. The ramps behind the screw are to force the log apart and the vertical pipe is to prevent it from spinning--according to the seller who said it was last used on a Wheel Horse (color me skeptical--he could see I was riding a Wheel Horse 😁).

Good thing I didn't see that. I probably would have bought it just to try it out.
