    Would have you? Sat outside and worked the last time it was used. Engine had water in the crankcase but hydrulic tank is prefect. Pump should be good and cooler should be as well.

    I'm thinking that this, the extra I-Beam I bought Friday and the rebuilt Case 580 boom cylinder (4+" dia with 34"ish stroke) gifted to me yesterday might be a sign that I need to look into building a processor.

    Not sure if it's feasible or not with a 16hp and a 5-8 gpm pump. Need to start researching this. I've got 75.00 and a gallon of maple syrup as my total investment so far. I could get out cheap if everyone thinks it's not worth it.

    5-8 gpm is going to be SLOOOOOW! With 16 hp you can put a 22gpm 2 stage pump on it and be happy. Surplus Center has a calculator to help you make your decision.
