hydraulic log splitter had a new pump installed. ran it several times a few min each time. Today started running it and major leak began. The pressurized side threads in the pump stripped out...what options do I have besides a new pump. the fitting is not damaged but the threads in the pump.
thanks

First, hope there is some sort of warranty on the motor.
Possibly drill out the threads and re-tap. That of course would create a larger hole and require a larger connection on the hose.
Replace pump.

Any experience with these and working under pressure? not hydraulic pressure but see them work in a cylinder head for sparkplugs

Any experience with these and working under pressure? The maintenance department where I used to work employed helicoils frequently for stripped threads, including hydraulics. You'll need to use some sort of thread sealant for liquid applications.

Heli-coiled an engine block where a head bolt entered the coolant passage. No leaks. TTY head bolt.

tty=torque to yield
as in torqing a bolt to "x" ft lbs, then additional 90deg

Try using propane or if available natural gas I just turn the little knob to the desired temp and never break a sweat.

A Helicoil will probably work, but if it was mine I would use a Time Sert instead. I have never had a repair using a Time Sert fail and have with Helicoil. They cost more, but well worth it I think. The only problem with both is getting the right thread type. Is it a hose that goes into the pump? It could be many different types of threads from metric to standard pipe thread. Her's a link for the Time Sert repair kits' www.timesert.com/

I think even though I have natural gas here, the fireplace insert has paid for itself after the 2nd year and the 3rd & 4th years paid for the saws and log splitter. Between what Nipsco wants for gas and electric to run the blower fan, it feels like highway robbery. I have since insulated the attic (more), wrapped and re-sided the house and replaced all the windows, but before I installed the insert I had one month where the gas and electric bill was higher than the mortgage.....

lol...I was not understanding FD'S post.
A little slow at times. I can't do ng and don't have propane. I hate electric heat brrr. My wife is a certified sawer for the national forrest and i have two kids to load a trailer and stack the wood.
My job is maintenance and I suck at that😂

One thing that will make big difference in electrical use is switch over to LED bulbs throughout the house. Each change takes you from 60 (or more) watts used to 6 or 7. Multiply that times the number of lights/lamps you have and it adds up quickly.
I had some lights in CFL but didn't like them as they took to long to warm up.
The LEDs are more expensive but according to the package a bulb will last 20 years being burned at 3 hours per day.
I could not keep bulbs in my overhead fans as they kept burning out from vibration. The LEDs are not affected by the vibration, so more savings.

Same here. No natural gas though, only propane. The neighbor had several $6-700/mo bills and a couple $1k bills when it was real cold and propane went $6-7/gal recently. The wind blows across miles of open fields now that all the tree rows are being yanked out. I can heat my house for 2-3 days on a wheel barrow full of wood, so that will be the mainstay for now.

I switched to LED trailer lights on the one that was giving me problems and no more problems. Duff, ever figure out what thread type it was?
