    Scored this a few months back for $50 bucks. Finally getting around to cleaning out the gear box, lubing, stripping and painting it today. It didn't come with the crank handle, but I found something pretty close from the RV world that works perfectly. It will finish of my project nicely.

    No dust, dirt, water, or road grime. I was very pleased. I use those tarp bungees, the ones with the ball at the end to suck the tarp down and keep it a little snugger.

    Its definitely fun. Blow outs suck. I'm a retired cross country truck driver. I miss the open road.
