Brian, Nice find!! Was this the one in Markleville on craigslist ? If so i think you beat me to the punch. Next time your up this way stop by I,m just a few miles from there.

Yep sure was, Man when do the salt trucks come out up there! man the roads were rough!! Wish I would have known that PC, I would have stopped for at least a cup of coffee and some conversation! I get back up that way I will give you a shout on here before I go.

Don't forget to inquire at tomb/head/grave stone companies. Many of them use sandblasters for engraving.

Just remember - when things are dead, it's their busiest time. :banghead:

(sorry - couldn't pass up the opportunity :thumbs: )

wheel horse 1045, The only difference I see is the mower drive belt set-up, other than that it looks the same, don't know on the manual yet, but am looking for one for the 1276.

Hey Brian why outsource the blasting? If you have a compressor you can pick one up fairly reasonacle at Harbor Freight or Northern Tool between $60-$90. If you buy the extended warranty :thumbs: from HF you can return it for any reason within a year if you do not like it. Just a thought,

Picked up the sandblaster a couple weeks ago, but trying to get the engine going before I dismantle, seems it will only fire when key is set back to the run position, and not firing when you put it in the start position, I think it is a switch, but am still working on the problem.

My thinking too Rick, supposed to warm up this week, going to hit the garage and get back at working on the problem, Josh, sure will look good once I get the engine up to snuff and get it tore down and re-painted.
