I love the pickle bucket top. 4058 had the same idea, but had too many problems with it (somehow). I love it.:slight_smile:

Is that one of the old KOP wheel mounts on your shooter? That’s awesome lol.

I too am amazed that someone has found a use for one of the tall wheel brackets from 2010. I’m wondering about the legality, but I guess it falls under the “COTS items previously available that are functionally equivalent to the original” exception. Provided there weren’t extra holes added before they used it this year.

Sorry everyone, but it is just a purchased flange-mounted ball bearing.

I think they might be talking about the 2010 KOP wheel bracket that is protecting the feeder motor.

Ahh, oops, the year threw me off.

But yes, that is a 2010 wheel bracket protecting our shooter feed motor.
