Ford wood splitter

[mellow]

Saw this pop up on CL and thought you guys might like to see it, never knew Ford had made wood splitters, I would buy it if I didn't have so much money already tied up into getting my F250 road worthy.

I think that might have been one of the screw driven splitters. The motor turns a gearbox which turns a large screw to move the pusher in/out. I could be wrong.

I think this is the same splitter in this thread: http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=322850

I wouldn't use it, it would be cool to refurbish to pull behind an old Ford truck for a car show.

I think it would make a great buy. Load your antique Ford truck full of rounds, pull it to the car show, split the rounds at the show (to demo the splitter), haul home split wood. What else are you going to do all day at the car show?

If I was a crazy ford enthusiast maybe I would pay $150, after seeing it start.

Yea, I wouldn't go past $125 for it As Is. It would make for a pretty cool conversation piece.

It would match this Bronco:
