    Reg,

    Great score, I am truly jealous of that one. If your truck will not haul it, I can find a home for it. LOL

    Wow, that is one nice score. Even if it didn't work it would make a shop a better place.

He is very knolageable on the things I needed to know and was willing to send info to me. I hope to be picking it up in the weenen of the 17th.....amybe I can get to emeet you if you live in the area.
    This baby I REAL heavy. It suppose to weigh around 3500 to 4000 lbs. It will rest in the barn under a tarp until the concrete floor has cured for at least a month so it can be put in its resting place and fired up to do, hopefully sone nice work.

    I don't know if that would look quite right in your shop Reg. I think it'd go better with the green carpet in mine.

    Very nice haul indeed. Enjoy the new (old) toy.

    - Vaughn

    can't believe you got a snowflake for that price.... wow. they are basically the heavest duty saw ever made. even heaver than my moak and better looking to boot. I don't know much about the wheels they used. this will be one of the challanges. it looks like the motor is a 900 rpm motor and you may want to find a way to slow it down, but you will have lots of time to figure that out. great score

    Hey Lou,
    Glad you like it. Too I am glad you stopped by because I have a question for you about the wheels. Do you know it the wheels are vulkenized and where would I have to send them to have new tires put on them....
