Latest pic would have a kohler, instead of a tecumseh, and a 16 gpm 2 stage pump instead of a belt driven single stage. Ya it sure is ugly and heavy but at least it weighs alot and isnt pretty.

Here is mine. It is absolutely home built and has been one of the best pieces of equipment my family has ever had. It was bought used, back in about 1986, then it wore a 5hp briggs, a different ram, and sat on a VW Bus front axle with the steering knuckles welded to keep the wheels straight. When the 5hp Briggs died it got an 8hp Briggs, when that died it got an 8hp Tecumseh. When it got a new ram we called Northern Tool and new brackets were fabbed to make it fit. Eventually one of the knuckle welds gave way, resulting in one wheel being toed in about 3". We got a Caravan rear axle and and slipped it underneath, thats also when it got painted red/black. I can't even begin to estimate the number of cord split with this splitter, but I do know most years it has handled a minimum of 8 cord and several years we split as many as 40 cord (2 semi loads) on it.

These are the only pictures I have right now. I took them last year during the first few days of use. Poor lighting is from late winter and camera phone (sorry).
