    303M HydraMatic rebuild

    I spoke with Rick this morning. No dice on the cores. He came under the same pressures i did and dumped 90% of his stock. Realestate is so insane here. It makes it almost impossible to run a business out of a rental yard. Constant turnover. He is always finding more gear. When he gets something...

    I know where a couple of trucks are.. but seems like they are pretty much the usual runners with no brakes, or no reverse or both. Ill ask Rick at Milspec Hydraulics if he has any spares he can let go.
