yep, same as the one here they use to push road sign poles in, also the machine that pulls them out looks very similar too

I'd pick it up, give it some fresh paint, and sell it to Kim Kardashian as a *** toy... Kim will dump Kayne in a heartbeat, for this thing....

Boring machine.

I would say it's a drill. If you look at the second pic it shows a hydraulic motor with what looks to be a chain or something with a metal cover going over to the business end.

It's not really a drill, it's a Geoprobe, maybe a 6600 series? The faded decal on the side was a big hint. It's essentially a post pounder that collects continuous soil samples in an Acetate sleeve.

What would you do to liven it up?

It is a Geoprobe hydraulic direct push sampling system. They are built in Salina Kansas. I have been using them since 1993 to collect soil, water and gas/vapor samples to depths as great as 200' below ground surface.
I took delivery of a brand new one on an F550 chassis just this week.

I haven't seen one of those things since moving away from Salina! Saw plenty of them leave GeoProbe when I lived there, but that is the first one I have seen otherwise.
