OK, been working on this all week, made some headway. I need to make a lever for the control valve, plumb it, get a gas tank and small details, but have the worst (I hope) behind me! The cage for tha pump to motor was the worst to make, took some figuring and a lot of paitence!!

edit:pics are HUGE!!!! Sorry!
 
Lookin good Andy! You'll have the rust knocked off the ways in no time. How long is it gonna take for your helper to flip this one? :jester:
 
It's not short on the heavy duty, that's alot of steel. I hope you're not going to tow it with the trike? :fart:

Lookin' good. Keep the updates updated! :rockn:

Nice, what size a pump was it? You should be able to just let the engine idle all day if it's all ready broke in, won't be any sweat for it. Now all you have left to do is fab up a conveyor and hyd saw and you'll be in bidness. :monkey:

You need to make a straight pipe for that Kow and aim it right towards your neighbors house for the first three cords. :hmm3grin2orange:

i built one many yrs ago (i should post a picture) 16hp Briggs v twin its been fine other that the seals in the cylinder are bad. (if i replace them it will bend 1.5 inch thick steel foot)

that is heavy & the grating may be dangerous to fingers :laugh:

the actual cutter looks to be the weakness in that setup, my opinion.
