Is there a way to post a pic before it gets yanked?
 
This is tough. Guy asks a ridiculous firm price for an old smoke dragon and can't live with himself if he takes less. Wonder where he'll move and won't himself just follow him?

He also probably couldn't live with himself if keeping the garbage can next to the stove led to a house fire that burned himself up.
 
The model "Moma beat" tells something about condition of the stove. ;lol

This is going to be awesome once Ashful sees it and says, "2.3L with a 4 speed? Pffft."

We're going to have some kind of welded-up thing involving a Cat excavator and a wrecked Lamborghini, with racing slicks and a single digit cycle time. There may even be a JATO bottle. :)

Pictures, Ashful! We want pictures!

You kidding? That thing is AWESOME! Having serious splitter envy, here.

I’m wondering... how does one get only 80 hp out of a 2.3L motor? Seems oddly low.

Can't you usually push around 2 GPM per HP at 3000 PSI? I was expecting a 160GPM pump, not a 20.

Good point. I had 11 GPM on 196cc (6-7 hp) and calculated I could do 22 GPM on 400cc, which is about 11 hp. A 2300 cc motor should have a 160 GPM pump!

In 1977 a Chevy 350 made 145 HP. It was the era of choked out smog motors. 1977 called - they want their smog pump back.

And advertised and 28500 psi - or a bit over 14 tons. A much larger pump, cylinder and multi split wedge would do this thing a favor. Its current cycle time and tonnage is similar to a super split machine with a fraction of the size and cost of operation.

For a giant beast of a machine - this thing is way under utilized.
