I have been able to re-sell a LOT of the stuff on marketplace for a profit, so actually on the last sale the F-350 didnt really cost me anything after I sold a bunch of stuff to pay for it . Usually dont happen that way but gotta get lucky once in a while! LOL!
This time I got a couple 1-hp 3-phase motors to attempt a rotary converter, PLUS a couple 2 hp 1 phase with big shafts, so maybe I can rig one of them up on each lathe. Some odd speed reducers, etc nobody would bid on , so a 2 dollar bid got them. Have no idea what they were from/for but might use some of them for a project down the road! ( like I have time for that!)
