Hey, congrats for that machine. Anyway, I like your idea for making her look like a D model. I would really expect to see some updates on your machine.

Whatta deal :) don't loose sleep at night about giving less than value, if he has depreciated it out and had no inputs or repairs he may have had a tax penalty if he sold it for more...... I've seen stranger stuff happen :)

Just my opinion but you might slide it more over the axles, all that weight on the pintle the trailer can get a little tippy.....you gotta remember that the hitch is only about 2" wide as apposed to 30+ inch frame width over the axles, I know people that have toppled tag-alongs on overpasses because of the load being too far forward

And I like CM would give your money back any day of the week ;) lol
