Not missing any gearbox, just a handwheel and the column crank, or "Z" crank.

The DRO kit is 2K. I'll get by w/o it. I could change out the lead screws to ball screws if I was that fussy. The DRO pretty much requires that change.

For $200 that’s a great score, even if you can’t use it! It looks impressive!

Finally moved out of NY and to CO. I sold many of my tools and such as it was just too much to move. My son said sell it and just buy it when you get here. One of the first things I needed was a good 24' ladder. My wife found a ad close by on Nextdoor, for two ladders for only $30 for the pair! New they sell for $400 a piece at Home depot. Had to use the 300TD to haul them both home, as the Jeep GC does not have the cross bits on the roof rack. A couple of fun noodles on the Mercedes bars did the trick!

On the way to one of my accounts today.....cool idea to get rid of stuff!

I couldn't resist helping with the cause........

Bamboo stakes, pipe wrench, hose repair items, and a machete!

I was cleaning up all the garbage and scattered clothes around a local clothing bin and this was in a box in the weeds. I dont know what it is but I like it.

Very cool - maybe keep your cuff links and tie tacks in it?

Looks like it would hold a scoll of some sort.

Or it was to carry money from a bank drive-thru terminal at a bank in Tibet!
