So my mother has an old log splitter we used for many years as I was growing up. I need a splitter myself but it needs some work and I am not sure of the tonnage on the machine as well as determining if it is worth rebuilding or just buying new. I called Briggs & Stratton to get a price on a replacement motor that would match what this machine already has on it. If anyone can lend some insight and maybe personal knowledge that would be helpful. I can buy a new Splitter today but they are just over $1100 by me for a decent size and worried that today's tools just arent up to par with what was made int he past. I know a decent amount of work will need to go into it, if i decide to rebuild, like all new gaskets, motor and tubing. Opinions are appreciated.
