    Walking through the yard at work, this is all excessed Texas Dept of Transportation equipment that will be auctioned off sometime. Here is the frame and hydraulic parts from a dump truck, might be my start for making pressed logs or a splitter?

    This vintage rotary snow blower is very cool and I'd like this diesel engine setup up from this asphalt pick up machine. :) 20171004_080847.jpg 20171004_080855.jpg 20171004_080905.jpg 20171004_080658.jpg 20171004_080647.jpg 20171004_080803.jpg

    Might be a little overkill on the engine. :D
    But looks like enough parts there to make a splitter.
    Gotta be a hydraulic pump there somewhere.

    I was thinking "atoms".

    Oh, the wood splitters I could build from work projects.
