I made one way back when we sold firewood (30 years ago) ---- going to use the old pump off of it on my dump trailer. Probably put the cylinder in the shed. It was a new one from f&f at cost of $114.00 at the time--4" x 24" x 2" rod. it would split anything you could get up on it. Used an old worn out b&s 9 hp cast iron motor on it.
