    If I ever leave Midwest Spec, yours will be a number I will be calling for sure.
    Only thing that didn't make me smile was the switching trailers part, just one thing that bugs the hell out of me. My trailer is being red flagged by the shop until I drop the blade trailer in a few months. Old gal (1999 TK 60) has been "mine" for @4yrs now...:biggrin_25523:

    Thanks Martin. I don't know Midwest especially well, but from what I do know they seem like a well respected outfit. Enjoy the blade work. I am working on getting some business from a wind energy company, but it is for inbound components. I don't think I will be getting into the big components any time soon.

    No problem mate.
    I haven't hauled the blades in a couple of years, the money went away when everyone got into it. Now they all went belly up though, the money is back...:biggrin_25526:
    I love pulling the RGN though.

    By the way, I have always liked the "Slow and paid for..." signature.

    We had a bunch of issues with a bunch of Mercedes engines. We will be down to 5-6 this year. They do get good MPG though.

    How many times have you had the liners done? Or did they just give you a rebuilt engine?
