Never heard of it. You might send Reid a PM and ask. I bet he knows something on them. That way he'll get an email notification and can get back to you before you go to the auction.
The oil is all in Texas, but the dipsticks are in D.C.

well,i went to the auction today. that planer was a monster..it was huge!!!! i looked it over pretty good and the only thing i saw wrong was a set of bad bearing on one of the main gears..i,am not sure if it did any damage tho.i couldn,t see the shaft it was riding on.. it sold for $1500.
i,de like to be there when,they try moving it..
