How many passes did you get out of it? I've got almost the same setup as you -some bolt on's... I"m hoping to get a few passes out of the stocker as I plan on dumping it at 5500-6000

Hehe, I wish it was just coffee. I was running around to pull him through the water box and them watch him go. It also didn't help that there were 6 or 7 freakin people in the timing box where I took the video.

No more Aluminum for me. .095" wall Steel with 1350 Yokes all around.

1scrudedude- Yeah that would be a pucker factor of 10 if that was to happen.
