I had a guy bidding against me for the hydraulic pipe bender this morning, but he backed off and I'm still the high bidder. I'll find out tomorrow at 1400 if I got it. My high bid is at $270 now. Not bad for a machine that's selling for over $14,000 on ebay!

 

Good thing I'm not a mod on here.

How can some idiot argue with me when FORD wrote the TSB?????

What a dweeb.

I'd have a banning party of idiots.
I think I'll give FTE a break for a while.

 

Evening Charlie! Just stay out of the tech forums for a while. You can hide here in our chapter!

I Mod 10 forums. Wanna do my job for a while?..........lol

 

Evening FTE Gang.
Don no luck on the machine today, did find a brake lathe and a fly wheel machine.

 

Thanks for trying Chris. I guess I'll just have to watch and hope he post's it again and doesn't scrap it........

Ok, brake lathe and flywheel grinder? How much!

Something else I'm looking for.......

 

Both have been dropped and have damage, still interested?

 

More info please! You know I rebuild old equipment! How much?

 

$500 for the brake lathe and was told it needed $600 in parts to fix the damage. $500 for the fly wheel grinder with a parts machine to go with it unknown what parts are needed to be operational.

 

Brake lathe is an AMMCO machine
Flywheel Grinders are Van Norman

 

The brake lathe isn't on my "A" list, but the flywheel grinder is. Any chance you could get me some pictures and info on that machine? Maybe some contact info too? Any help would be appreciated Chris!

 

PM sent...

 

Got it! Thanks Chris!

Allen! Come on over and pick out the material you want! Soon!

 

Defiantly interested in the Van Norman's. I've run these before and they are good machines.

 

I will get pictures on Thursday for you.

 

This is kind of bitter sweet. This may be the last time I see my old friend. He is not in good health and is heading back to Arizona in the morning. I miss him already.....
