RF45 vrs IH conversions | | It seems to me that while Aaron had intended IH's business model to be selling Conversion kits for the square column mills and the mill he sold was kind of considered an "Accessory". ( his words)
Today IH with Gene & Tommy the push seems to be turn key machines and crate sold manual machines with accessory options. I have even seen mentioned that they prefer not to sell the conversion now unless it is to be fitted to a IH machine as they don't want to have to support all the variations.
Get Gene on the phone and a deal can be worked out, but the IH kit is meant to be near bolt on for an IH machine. If you try to fit an IH kit to a non IH mill its not bolt on anymore - its just a starting point.
Aarons first conversion if I remember right was on an Enco. The Enco of today and the RF45 have alot of differences.
If your kit was specific to the actual Rong-Fu RF45 it would sell. Later you could add Enco and other models as you collected the specs which make the machines different. |
