    You tore apart a perfectly good VCR?

    F250 diesel 4X4 crewcab + stock trailer+ cattle inside trailer. Estimated weight around 20,000 lbs. This guy got a little sideways going up a steep gravel covered incline in Utah a few years ago. It's steeper than it looks in the pics. He couldn't get his 4X4 to engage and was stuck. He sure was glad we came along and gave him a little help.

    If I was closer I'd snatch em. My neighbor and I are always on the hunt for repairable bikes or parts to be stripped for other machines.

    Def LMK if you come across any others, if they're BMX I might well pay you some good cash

    My neighbor is getting a divorce, selling his house, and getting rid of some stuff (including the stuff I've recently scrapped); I scored this from him!

    I'm not scrapping it! My dad's wanted one of these for our home gym for quite a while, and he saved probably hundreds of dollars since our neighbor just gave it to us for free!

    The dumpsters need to be washed out, but the hose is in the front of the building, and I don't feel like pushing them to the front...
