If this approach does not work, consider buying new. I ran into very high resale prices do I got a new one.

We just went through the same process this past fall. Found it was no more expensive to buy a brand new one. People really value thier splitters. Got this one on sale for $799 at Atwoods. It's only 25 tons, but it took care of some pretty hefty logs at least 26" in diameter.

Pro tip - If you get giant logs, split the edges and rotate. It may take a buddy ro help, but I have split up to 36" logs

You have access to a tractor with a class 1 hitch hook up and rear hydraulics, come borrow mine. Free. Just bring it back.

Winter will be over shortly and prices will be down a bit.
I bought a 25 ton from Tractor Supply and made table on each side to make handling logs easier and a lever log lift with log tongs to put the really big stuff up on the table.
It's done 2-4 cords a year for last 3 years with only minor carb problems induced by me.
A little carb cleaner and seafoam and it was rocking again.
I switched from regular Stabil to Stabil 360 Marine and mix in all my gas cans when I fill them up and haven't had problems since.
Cheers,
