found used splitter, now an engine question.
Here is the deal. A guy tells me he has a 33 ton vert/horz Yard Machines splitter that needs an engine. He says it is about 4 years old, and one of his "employees" tried to start it with Ether, while the kill switch was in the off position. I guess he eventually turned it to on and blew a hole in the block. He did say he "thinks" it is 33 ton and "thinks" it's a yard machine so I won't hold him to either.
I am going to look at it today because the asking price seems right. $250.00
My questions are, how is the engine to pump coupler accessed? Is it outside of the tank or inside? what size engine should this thing have? Any reccemendation on where to get the engine?
I need input by 10 am eastern, saturday the 24th(even if it is from the seller)
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
