    At work we have an old homemade splitter that was built by my boss’s dad way back when. Last summer he bought it back from the original owner. It was in need of an engine and apparently the owner started to graft an old Miller generator engine (Koehler) to it. We have got the engine running and mounted. And it’s probably working as good as it ever did (who knows)

    But does anyone have any insight on this pump and valve setup? It appears to be a manufactured self contained unit. Pump inside the tank and valve mounted directly to it.
    Anyone ever seen such a critter? 76F2E45E-8D85-4FDC-A7D6-6E9F4C5B1998.jpeg D0FF0887-E1DD-405C-B71D-CE9850B30DD5.jpeg 8AB4D061-5444-4EE0-8C87-9101ED661871.jpeg
