    My misunderstanding. I thought since my last post mentioned the AT500 series you where thinking about me. I guess if you think about that, it makes me kinda conceited ! Why would you want to think about me ? I think my pain killer has kicked in !

    The MT643 is way to long for this application. They are meant for the 5 tons.
