Guy has no idea what brand since it was painted when he got it. Has a new BS 5hp so I'm not sure if that's original either. Going to look at it on Saturday. It's a 20 ton.

I'm thinking it's an older huskee as those are the only ones I have found with a center mounted fore/aft hydraulic tank.
Edit: on further review I think I read the caption wrong. It may be a Brave splitter that I was looking at that had the center tank.

Toe plate is wrong shape for SpeeCo/Huskee.
Not orange for Brave or Blue for I&O.
Less substantial T-beam.
Maybe an older Northern Tool, Swisher, or Chinese off brand.

It's basically exact from an older 20 ton brave except that the toe plate is like an I&O. They came standard with a 5hp. Its not orange but its been painted. If you look close at the beam it was orange prior.
Most of that is built exactly like my MTD. Except my engine is on the other side. It doesn't look like a home brew. A lot of the machines are copied, so it can be anybody.
I got it home. It's definitely an older Brave. Just waiting on the new valve to get here.
