    Your ability to get machines to cooperate is amazing! I have seen a similar machine that was made for packing dirt, but it operated at a much lower speed. The cylinder was very similar. I cannot imagine operating a machine like that daily to drill rock. It is also amazing that the carburetor was able to function reliably and had not been damaged by vibration.
