6'2 here. I can't jump in like the dukes of hazzard without demolishing a kneecap, but it's a nice fit. If you have to travel a while you can swing your legs out over the transmission tunnel and stretch out. Don't let height scare you. Those 5'3 munchkins can't spin a lug nut if they need to...
I used one to paint a car hauler trailer I have. I obtained some "Caterpillar Yellow" and shot it with the wagner. I ended up using twice the paint I would have with a cheapie paint gun. Lot's of splater. I cleaned it up and threw it in back in a storage box. It's yours for the shipping.

Nice job. Sorry about the workmans comp claim on your hand. It was also nice of your wife to let you move the kitchen counter downstairs to complete the job.

Mine had 51000 on it when I bought it which is kind of high compared to some of the other odometers however, I'll agree with FrieghtTrain. There's no telling how many are really on any of them. Basic maintence on these or any engine will allow it run for lots of miles and years. I've done less...
