This old splitter has been used up and clapped out! i gave it a thorough refreshing for about $600 and now i have a pretty nice machine. i wish the bed was taller though, it kills my back to bend over.

I got the pump, valve, and filter from Surplus Center, and had the cylinder rebuilt and hoses made at a local shop. i had the 12HP engine already and it swapped perfectly with the 10HP.
