that's alright Jackie, I appreciate you looking for me. I'll try hitting up Ivester and maybe put up a parts wanted add. I haven't measured the shaft diameter of the z bar yet, but I'm thinking if it's a common size then I can cut it in half and use short section of black iron pipe as a couple to weld it back together. Seems like if my pipe is about 2" long I could insert the 2 z bar pieces in about 1/2" on each side and that would give me the extra 1" in length I need.
yeah buddy! There for awhile things were getting really bad when I took my sabbatical from FABO, I was starting to think that was just how life was going to be. But I've been greatly fortunate to be able to work full time and even overtime, I bought a house and got married and I've even managed to start some savings! Iim trying very hard to safeguard myself from ever ending up there again.
