Ben , I gotta think this version is the perfect way to go for what you have planned , it would save you much time in the disasemmbly.

Well, I WANTED a kit version but out of stock. Susann convinced me to go with D405 because of Sale price And she showed 3 units in stock...got an invoice then an email apologize the 3 units where not (really) there. Susann tryed to upsell me to D406 but I prefure Nickel to brass (personal preference) when she found out I was trying to avoid brass color wheels the D405/1 came up...I said I like black BUT felt the crane combo of D405/1 was over priced but would pay X$ for it...she was by now heavily invested in this sale and except my offer.
    So it seems Bruce's prediction that I would likely rework Wilesco crane before him was prophetic.
  I could have saved even more going used but this will be a special build and I did not want to risk a damaged used model on this particular build.
