I have a vac I bought for $250. It ran when the previous owner bought it, the previous owner is a good friend of mine, and when he bought it he was told it smokes. He ran it for about 2 months and it did indeed start smoking. He tore it down and found the rings frozen to the pistons. He was going to restore it but like me has too many projects so he offered it to me and since I have 2 others figured if nothing else I'd use it for parts. Well, I've had it for 2 years now and haven't used a part off it and as much as I hate to see one scrapped or parted out it's not, in my opinion, worth fixing up. I think I would have way too much in it and the final nail in the coffin for me is it doesn't have the eagle hitch. I have probably 90-100% of the parts to it. I got so many boxes of parts with it I'm willing to bet something got lost along the way. Tin isn't too bad. I'd take $200 for the whole machine or if anyone needs parts for one I can help out. Sleeves are out of the motor even. That's how tore apart the motor is. The rest is complete. I'd be happy to ship parts to anyone. Thanks
