Hello from TX. Been reading and lurking and now an owner so figured I would share.
Used this same splitter in Colorado ar 10,000 ft and it did fine and actually like the portability and low height.
Found this one on craigslist here, as is, ended up getting ut for $250. When I picked it up I knew it needed tires and was planning on all lines and all fluids. It turned over, the air cleaner was snug and original, so I bought it.
Seller took tarp off and I could tell it was in better shape than pics on CL showed. Put it in my lil 12' trailer and stopped at Northern Tool on the way home. Two new tires, suction filter kit and hose, spark plug, etc. New fluids, new plug, shot of WD 40 in the plug hole, shot of carb cleaner in carb and about 10 pulls later its idling like it should!!
USed some 400 and 800 sandpaper to get some light surface rust off the ram, and everything cycles just fine.
Swapped the coupler for a 2" and now its ready for our 4 wheeler and or Honda SXS!!!
I thinks its a solid score and amazed at how the original stickers are still there.
Found it interesting that through may readings most say these use 30W engine oil or hyd oil, and the sticker says ATF! I was going to go ATF anyway for the detergents in them.
Need to fab a new front leg if I get bored, and add a spacer to the push plate to eliminate most of the gap to the wedge at full stroke, but its still 95 degrees here and muggy as hell, so gonna relax and be happy with my score.
Thanks to all previous Dider posts for the great readings!

Oh...the hose pic/part # was for reference. It appears to be an original, molded suction line from the bottom of the tank to the inlet of the pump with two nice bends. I cut it to insert the filter kit, but thought others might like to see the number. It also had an internal spring to prevent collapse under suction I assume.
