We handle those IBC totes pretty much every day. So that's a pain with a tractor. Forklift is the way to go. And yeah, I just bought the forklift. Already had the trailer.

Not my day guys. The shaft in this picture is called a Hydrostat input shaft. Sort of like a transmission, but it also provides fluid to run everything else on the sprayer. You can see it sheered off, and has been cracked a while. If I can just change out the shaft, it will be around $4000. But if the Hydrostat pump itself is locked up, it's going to be somewhere upwards of $12000. Plus the rig is sitting until at least Monday. So send me so good vibes!

Ouch, that sucks. Hopefully the pump isn't locked up!

Good luck Chris, hope its just the shaft. Either way, that's pricey.

Congrats JJ, love the car. Initial impressions? Can you offer any clues as to what you are going to do?

I really can't complain to much about the condition. For having 64,000 miles on it the body and paint is awesome! The interior is great as wheel. Only thing is when I turn on the defrost it makes a clicking sound for about 4 seconds then goes away. If that's the only issue, then I'm happy!

Right now this is what I'm thinking:
Liquid Silver HRE FF01 Wheels
Koni Yellows
Ground Control CC Plates
BMR Springs
BMR Panhard
BMR Chassis Support Brace
BMR LCAs
BMR LCA ReLo Brackets
BMR UCA
BMR UCA Mount
BMR Adjustable Sway

I have more planned, but this is what I have planned for round 1.

Sounds like a good start to me. I really like the wheels you picked out. Why HRE instead of Vossen? Just curious.

I am really interested to see what you have planned for power mods. Chasing big numbers or going stay fairly conservative?

I thought about Vossen again, but decided to try something new. Plus they are available now...LOL

As for power, I was thinking somewhere in the 800's should do it....LMAO
