Let us pray!

How many thousands of dollars worth of work do you think it did for you in it's lifetime?

angchor, ive made maybe 6-800 with this doing small repairs, it was mostly for personal use, but ive made lots of memories with it, as ive used it to build all my mowchines up until today,
as soon as i get the cash im getting another just like it

That's what I meant. Not just money you've earned with it, but the work it put in for you that you either would have had to do without, or pay someone to do...

Looks sweet. Did you leave any room with those bars for a twin? or would you have to cut the bars and modify them?
