Manual choke. 2 Bbl Rochester carb

@@FirewoodInTheField manual chokes give you control for sure. The old Chevy seemed cold natured!!!

Will it flood easy??

@mrg52u11 not as long as I'm not bring goofy. Starts pretty easy most times. But that was a brand new (rebuilt) carb I had sitting on the shelf, one of the first things I had to fix

It's not tall enough, at least not for the tongs I have. The next time I use it, I'll get some footage trying my tongs. I'll also look for a shorter set of tongs too. Thanks for watching!

@VicsYard I gotta admit I like this ol' Chevy.... Been a Mopar guy for decades,,,, but this truck is trying hard to change that!

@brandonhoad9033 Thanks! I bought this one from the original family-farn that bought it now in 1967. Only has 67,xxx miles! I had to completely re-do all the brakes, and replace the front tires/wheels. Also swapped the carburetor and un-did a bunch of farm-repairs. That headache rack is cut down from the original grain bed, and I've got plans to cut the grain bed sides to about 18" to give me sides on it

@@FirewoodInTheField it must have post holes on the sides. Some nice hickory or oak planks would be sweet Rack on mines a p o s, it's off a '49 Ford 😅😅. Even says Ford. I think it's got 72k on it. Folks bought it used around '77-79. Idk what it's first life was

​@brandonhoad9033 yep,,, it has stakepocket holes where the grain bed sides used to be. When I haul logs I just stick 2x4s in them. Will eventually make short sides out of them though

@@CH-um4iy thanks!!

@JCGCUCU nope. It's a brand of.log splitter called Ramsplitter. You can look them up online. They are located near Rockford IL, but can probably ship anywhere

@JCGCUCU Thanks for watching! In some of my other videos I go into more detail about this machine

@tyharland1906 Thanks for the feedback! I'm behind on publishing, this was back in early June. I'll show in coming videos, I am splitting all that to clear a space for rearranging my woodyard setup

@thehogslogs8631 yessir!! Good way to work up a sweat and get some exercise!. Even with struggling still easier than swinging a maul at all this!

@Stlforestproducts Thanks for the input! I'm only about 45 minutes outside STL in Jefferson County, are you nearby?

@@FirewoodInTheField yes we are desoto. Stl forest products

You can come by. We are a sawmill, Firewood. Chainsaw carving and everything logging company.

@Stlforestproducts I think I will! I'm interested in that bundle machine on your website! Been thinking of changing from bags to bundles

Your more than welcome. Contact info our address and phone is on site or Google business search of our company.

@brandonhoad9033 understandable! I can get a lot of the big stuff free, and I'm a glutton for punishment, I suppose! 😂 I'll have a 2nd video splitting more of this, but it goes better.

Awesome dog round up your chickens haha!!! Enjoy your video and nice log splitter!!! Like how the ends move up and down to split four ways or two!!!

@@VicsYard Thanks!

@@VicsYard Thanks for sharing that! I've got a little footage using it to take some firewood to my inlaws.. probably 1 or 2 weeks before I get time to edit and publish

@jimmieburleigh9549 I've tried my log-tongs, but they are so long I can't get the rounds high enough to get on the truck (unless it's small rounds. But then I don't need this crane at all) Good ides though. I'll look for a shorter set of tongs that can still open wide enough for large rpunds

@@FirewoodInTheField that or add a foot or 2 extension to the tower. I added on to my buddy's deer lift. His had the hand winch but same basic design

@jimmieburleigh9549 not a bad idea!

@@FirewoodInTheField make a straight cut where you want it with a cut off wheel and weld in a dutchman... quick easy work.

@@JasonLee-xn3se mostly Oak and Maple. There's I think 1 log that is something else

@@FirewoodInTheField nice
