[SEL] Hydraulic unit needs a new home

[Rick Rowlands]

Hmm, now thats an idea.  Hydraulic drive for the engine would be ideal 
assuming that it s powerful enough.  Can you take some pics of it and give 
me any other info. on it if you have any?  I'll talk to an engineer friend 
and see if this unit would be capable of driving the Tod and what size of 
hydraulic motor I would need.

Can you get it to a motor freight terminal or load it on a truck?

Thanks
