They must come off, since it says "Shaft end tapped for standard accessories", but it sure doesn't look like it.
I still can't get past the price tho.

Might be ok if you have your own chiropractor on staff – those wheels are inaccessible. Not too swift if they took the pic w/ 4” wheels.
And what’s with eight wheels and six water outlets?? That don’t line up.
$1850 w/ no motor and no wheels . . . that’s a joke, right?

Hmmmm... I don't know anything about this equipment, but parfive seems to have some good points.

Wouldn't Tim the tool man be proud?

Let me see if this is right, for $1850 you get an arbor and some diamond plate aluminum, is this correct? Not sure if Tim the tool man would be proud or not, but the man that built that thing sure is.
EDIT- Good lord, did anyone else noticed how evenly spaced the bolts are that hold the plexiglas shield in place? lol

Randy,I had to go back and look when you mentioned the bolt spacing,missed it the first time.I think I could have gotten them more even,even after a case of Natural Light in the old days,lol.

"BMT-9 cabber with 3/4 hp motor and 8 inch wheels offered at $3610.00 and free shipping in the U.S."
They are crazy? For that price, the Titan would be a much better 8" machine.

Wonder how many he's sold? If he has sold any, I wonder if He'll sell me his client list. I have some TX flint that's a bargain at $0.50 a gram. Not to mention the homemade dop sticks (modified #2 pencil) for $14 each.

Bikerrandy, enlarge the pic, the plexy shield is hinged, so you see two sets of bolts (I had to put on my sunglasses to see passed the cheap aluminum diamond plate)... guess he never heard of carriage bolts either?! How does the drip tray seal to the base? And I just realized the wheels are used. But what everyone here won't admit is that if ya'll had one you'd sell it for that price too! ;D (then send the money to johnjsgems for a genie, an ameritool, and a gryphon and let him keep the change!) ;D ;D ;D I wish this guy all the best, but I think this is one of those time where he should of had porper ventilation.

Can't say I like the look of the diamond plate but that price sure is a good one.
