Did it come with a vertical head too?

Honestly didnt know B&S had a mill

 

Good to hear this. I thought it was 15k. From what y’all are saying seems I have time. Mule thought my shocks were really mushy/soft for only 15k and suggested the rebuild which started this whole process. They were more concerned about my rear struts with the canopy and aluminum bumper weight. My leaf springs are pretty much flattened out now and I already did the TSB where they replaced my AAL two years ago. Assuming adding back the AAL shortened the life of the new springs.

 

Yeah, the vertical head is a small Bridgeport attachment. 7.5hp on the main motor which drives the horizontal spindle and all the feeds, and .5 for the vertical head.

 

Anyone know of someone doing a swap that needs a 4l60E 4WD transmission and wants to swap for their 2WD trans? (chevy/GM parts on a toyota forum i know )

 

yup he’s gonna make battleship gun turrets. I said it first.

 

But only 80%ers.

 

You have to keep cranking the coils up and nothing changes. Then your truck has the reverse bro lean.

Baaahaha

 

ummm yeah,3some!

 

Send her my way, problem solved

 

There is no set in stone rebuild time. Just more a general idea. Street use is around 50k. But carrying more weight, off roading, ECT can shorten that. Rears are easy to test....undo the top not, lay below it, pull down to compress. If it compresses easy, time for a rebuild. If it's still hard to compress and extends quick it's probably still good.

Is the vertical head not run of the horizontal drive? Just curious since you said it's only .5

 

No, it's a completely seperate attachment with it's own motor. Look up bridgeport M head.

 

Ahh makes more sense. Was just surprised it had a separate attachment head and not one for drive off the horizontal

 

They had those for this machine. I think the advantage is having it available all the time, rather than having to install it when you need it.

 

Glad it was cheap cause the drive sucked and the customer service was lacking. Now to drive back

 

If you're tired of rolling around on cardboard or cold concrete while under your truck, Lowe's is clearancing out a kobalt creeper with adjustable head rest for $22+tax. Just picked one up at the Issaquah store, and they had 2 more left. YMMV to local stock on hand. I found it easier to find a store that had it instock via the website and buy online with in-store pickup.
