    I scrap with it, I drive it to work when applicable, it gets me anywhere I need to go...

    Has even played home to me once.
    So now it played wrecking ball to some deer?
    Bad luck man! Best of luck with a quick turn around!

    thanks. I've already gotten the parts tracked down. All new, about $150 (Me ordering and installing everything), but if one of the parts can be found locally cheap enough, that number drops about 1/2.

    Yesterday I took in some stuff...

    40lbs of shred @ .08/lb
    9lbs of batteries @ .33/lb
    2lbs of #2 Copper @ $2.30/lb

    Everything came out to $10.97.

    Not a "Load" by any means, but it paid for a nice dinner at a local chinese restaurant.
