I have to thank a few people that have helped me with this project thus far. My best friend Dan Powell, one of the finest welders in the area whom helped me with motor mounts and misc brackets. The guy can weld anything you give him. Nick Harless for help on the adapter plate and many pieces of good advice. Harold French for acquiring a Unitronics PLC to use in this project and finally my brother for helping me drag the dead dog home from Indiana.
