bad health is forcing me to retire. i have 15 kits left made and boxed up. some guys are kicking around buying my jig's but nothing solid yet. If you need a kit; call my wife, Pat at 402-499-9204. i sold 3 today, when they are gone, they are gone! deals available on multi kits purchases. CC only because sending a check that might not arrive until they are all sold. first come, first serve! thank's to all my customers! ------------- AC from the start of my families farming career till the end! |

first thing i wanna give out is the part number for the shock from o'reilly's is 359030. they are the cheapest i found unless you order them in lots of a dozen or over. 19.99 plus tax at my local store. if you go to oreilly website and find a store you wanna shop at, put in the part number and it'll give you the price. for some reason that same part number is also used on something like a power steering hose, so there will be 2 options. the shock is 18.5 in long and has 90lb of pressure. my napa store here, is ungodly high priced on them. Price for my shock kit is $99 and i pay the shipping. if you buy more then 1, so it ships at the same time, you get a price brake. my number is still 402-641-1148. my wifes is list below. as long as i'm able, i will answer the phone! ------------- AC from the start of my families farming career till the end! |

Tom............ how many kits do you figure you have made in the last 3 years ( or has sit been 6 ) ? Just curious ! .........Maybe someone can post a picture of one installed ? Would like to see what you have been talking about all these years.
------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I've sold over 500, since i started. I never figured out how to post pictures on here. all started when my local Agco dealer was back ordered on parts to fix the junk that AC installed to hold the door open. I think by the time i got it ready to sell, i had revised it 7-8times. even since the pictures were taken for the instructions, it's been revised. the main cab bracket was originally bolted together. ------------- AC from the start of my families farming career till the end! |

| It is very sad that you are leaving the business due to health problems. This is often due to stress and processing, so I advise all aspiring businessmen not to forget to initially monitor their health. I personally also encountered this. When I started, there wasn't as much information as there is now on the Internet and I also spent a lot of time and didn't sleep at night and didn't even have time to eat, for example. And I like this site https://innovation-park.eu" rel="nofollow - https://innovation-park.eu / helped a lot to get rid of sleepless nights with the right business tips. So I advise beginners. |
