Antique Log Splitter





This was a homemade antique log splitter when it was purchased 40 years ago. After it stopped working it was put in the barn and left there. Then we came along and offered to try to get it running again for our neighbor. The VW bug motor was removed and new hydraulics gave life through the tractor. The VW tires are rotted out and useless. So the splitter has to be moved using the tractors. The splitter worked again. We were able to use it for almost 2 days before the gaskets gave out. We will need to replace those and it will run again. It saved us hours of ax work and was so worth saving.
