I haven't been able to find any within a reasonable shipping distance.
It's the girth that's limiting so far and I'm looking at several

Has any one seen that huge crank up that was a Dayton the past few

and used rollers similar to what I want to do.

Are there any photos or listings of that thing on the net?
