Hey thecfarm, what are those posts on the end of the mill? Stops to keep the head from rolling off? Looks like a nice mill.
1994 lt25g24
tyb525,let me go look. I never really thought of them as stops.
Yes,they could be. They are also is what the mill sits on,legs. I never cut them off. The mill sits on cement rounds. I did not want it up high on the legs. When they came to set it up.I had to saw the middle ones off. They was up in the air just a liitle too much.

I have one LT70 that is a 2005 model with about 7600 hours on it and another LT70 that is a 2006 model that I bought used with just shy of 1000 hours on it. I guess you could say I make my living with the 2005 model.

89 lt40hd both less than 2000 hours, why keep spare parts when you have spare mill :)
1993 Enercraft M30 . Has about 1100 hours .
scouter Joe,I have only seen one Enercraft. When I saw it I had to come home and do a search on it. It was for sale in front of a store with just a phone number. Can you post a picture? I saw some in your gallery. I like the roof.
Enercraft mills were being built north of Barrie Ontario . They made quite a few different models both manual and hyd. They were bought out by Baker and after operating for a few years at that location they moved everything down to the States . I am very happy with mine as it has been extreamly reliable . I have a track extension that alows me to easily cut 48' and longer with some cribbing and angle iron on the end . The roof is just a home made affair to keep the eliments off . scouter Joe
