add a 0 to that and I'd bet it's a closer number.

We got her.  Door to lot about 6it hours.  That was a pain.

Super high cg on this thing.  Probably 600lbssome in tooling.  Felt heavier than a 4.0/ax5/231 on the drive side. 

Gona need some maintance but looks like a good old girl.


Used every beam, plank, pipe, tool, strap and 2 of the 3base pickers we brought.

I don't think I'll hurt for this tmw, but fuck that was a lot of work.

Couldn't have done it without Jeff. We almost called for you to bring beer around 11:00.

I "can't wait" to help get the beast off my trailer.

I stopped at H Hots on the way home. Getting out of the truck realized I'd forgotten my wallet. Good job!

Thanks for the supplies Jeff.

New lathe in its home.  Took 30 min max with shovel and chassis table. 

Missing the tail stock chuck, boo. 

Probably be looking for a 3 phase converter rather than hassel of swapping other not really matching 240 motor
