You have hit my real concern, that this thing is just too big for anything I would ever do on it. I forgot my camera today, but I just measured it. The length is 7 and 1/2 feet, and I think you could turn driveshafts with it. Seriously, this was on a WWII Battleship, and is built like one.
I hate to pass up something free, but sometimes these things can complicate your life, and I try to keep my life as simple as possible. I would have to load, haul, and unload it, and it would take up space I don't have to spare in the shop.
Not sure what I'm going to do yet, but I appreciate all the comebacks.

Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
