Well I have been looking at building a splitter. Gathering steel and other parts. My dad knew of my project and was messing around on Craig'slist and found an ad that read "26 ton log splitter, 8hp needs motor work won't start $250"
I was at work so he checked it out. When he got there it turned out to be a Brave 26ton with an 8hp Tecumseh motor. A deal was made. Dad and I figured it just needed fuel lines and a carb kit......but when they were loading it, the splitter flopped onto its side breaking the intake off.
So I ordered a new intake gasket, intake, new carb, carb gasket and vent hose for $43 off eBay. The plan is to get it going and then make it a bit eayser for me to operate sence I am 6'4.
Pictures to come soon, thanks for reading along
