The sprockets are actually in decent shape, but the rest of the undercarriage is pretty much worn out. No big deal if it doesn't get much use, and this one won't.

Hey BVZ - that one was too far gone, so I passed on that deal. The owner still has it for sale; price is down to $5k, which doesn't seem bad for what it is.

He's in a different league than me, but I'm trying my best!

It's not going to get scrapped but if it did, it's 45,000 lbs. That'll buy a cheeseburger or two!

Yes, as I tried to explain below, the hook is absolutely in the wrong place, but I had to put it there so it could reach the cable. Otherwise, it would be several inches too short.
