also ripped it down to the gas station to throw some fuel in it.  fuel gage even works!  not terrible on the road, wouldnt take much to get it solid.

my bro-in-law has one I'm sure you could use, but probably needs to stay at his house (not far from me)

Anyone want to be the first to rent?  i can drop it or you can tow it away on my equipment trailer. 

seems like a solid unit and i have used it at for at least an hour around my property without issue.  something seems to kill the batteries after it sits for 10+ days but its fine for a week and boom operates normal if the van is running.  doesnt over heat or anything weird far as i can tell Idling long term.

I'll take it after Mark.  I need to fix a piece of siding 30' up.  I don't want to climb.

Couple hours. I can hog it to Eric or he can pick it up from my house. Or he can use it first. I'm good with whatever.

sounds good Mark, shoot me a message when you think you will be out here and ill have it loaded on my trailer for you.  2 5/16" ball


Ill throw the big boy battery charger in the van in case its needed.


only quirk is ignition van key is deleted, so when you shut it off/start it via the dangling column switch make sure its left in one from all the way off (so ACC doesnt drain)

thanks guys for returning! hope it served you well.  maybe a efan is in order, or potentially its a leave the rad cap off unit lol 


im sure it will get some love here and there but certainly is a mostly functional unit as is.
