    Thanks....I always worry if they get the flares correct too. Just paid $65 for a 6ft. strato with reusable ends. We're setup with baum hydraulics out of Omaha and they are usually pretty fair on stuff we've bought. Kid buys all his bolts and air fittings thru them. We also have a company that does all our ac hoses that are way more than fair. I haven't looked into much....just thinking thru it.

    Everyone has always told me it costs to much to get setup..... Less aggravation is worth alot to me...

    Have you looked at McMaster Carr? I get some stuff from them occasionally. They're not horrible on prices, but like most of those places, shipping gets a bit high.

    I've bought parts from Surplus Center out of Lincoln, Nebraska as well. Mainly weld in bungs for tanks.

    I'm with you....that's what you put on the diddy pole to catch a flathead or a blue cat.

    I've probably bought a million dollars in parts from McMaster..... But that's when I was spending somebody else's money. They are high but they have everything and it'll be here in the morning.

    I still buy from them occasionally.... Have a catalog sitting in the office. I used to browse it at work because every so often you'd run across something that was the answer to that problem you had been trying to fix. It amazing the stuff they have.

    I'll check out the other place...Thanks!!!
