Good two cents worth Jeff. Oh by the way Mike I forgot to add the directional gears for left and right may or may not be available by Legacy. I'd ask Cindy about that too. Otherwise buying another machine for parts is highly recommended. I have bought 8 total and possibly could sell you a couple short pieces of Rail to extend your machine? but may be cheaper to find a second machine?
