Warmed up enough to dig out the H-turret in the other barn and set it on. I have not drilled holes yet to permanently mount it. I like the open turret but I also would like to drive the drive with a top, so I am test fitting a four-man soft top over the turret assembly. If I like it, I will...
I am not familiar with a 149? Are you sure that is the number? 1300L, 1400L, U900 (406) and a few others... or post a pictures and we can help price it.
