Adam you got a great deal I would say. Last auction I missed had a 12 footer nice shape but needed paint brought 1300$ and that was a great deal I thought cause the dealer was askin 2000$ prior to the auction.

Something you may want to look for or change. On my 2500 center fold, had problem with frame breaking on main frame where lift cylinder mounts and gang channels are mounted. Holes drilled thru main frame to adjust angle of gangs weakens frame causing frame to break because pressure of lifting and weakening of frame due to holes. Mine had been welded several times but kept on splitting behind or ahead or thru reinforcements. You may want to cure this condition by welding heavy angle iron to side of main frame with holes drilled thru it to change angle of gangs, angle iron will also help stiffen frame in this area! Mine is broken so bad and the rest of the frame is sprung so bad that it may not be able to be fixed with out being completly cut apart and new metal fabricated and cylinder attachment made! 2600 center folds are made with angle iron adjustments. Did'nt know this untill I was looking for a used frame for mine! frankmi.

Thanks for the Heads up! this one looks good so far no welds or breaks but may reinforce it anyway while its still that way!
