+1 To your point I leaned toward candidates that got their hands dirty fixing their cars etc. (like farm boys) vs those that took them to the dealer and had no idea how they worked. D :cool:

The forum doesn't like iPads, the thumbnail link still doesn't work. Sorry for the thread wander but it did come from the linked photo.... D :cool:

Image not found…… D :cool:

My experience as well. They went out of their way to do what they could to satisfy my needs and in the end refunded and provided shipping at their cost to return the item. D :cool:

+1 EDIT: I should mention that the problem happens on my iPad. D :cool:

Well played! It would be even better if the forum would show the full size images…………image not found..:mad: D :cool:

Looks great! Nice and straight and even. Amazing what the eyeball says about what’s right vs the tape. Was there some fixturing involved or is that just plain good hands on, old skool craftsmanship? D :cool:

Seeing this disturbed the dust in my memory and made me ponder using some cast off rockers from an old small block Chev. Is that a crazy thought? It would probably need some sort of a post to stand in for the pushrod but that wouldn’t be too hard to come by and the fulcrum ball would be a...

Never was here out east. D :cool:

My First is a TM but they’re pretty well the same machine otherwise. My machine actually creeps up just a bit when fully extended but otherwise it stays put so I assume it’s behaving correctly or at least acceptably. I think I’d rather have it creep up a bit rather than down. D :cool:
