I would if you could see it to get a picture. I was trying to get a look at it a couple days ago and was thinking how in the heck did they get it in there.

Hi Larry:
If your like me, you'd like to change machines into newer vans as time goes on. While I do not presently own any post 2000 Butler equipment, I have worked on all style Butlers. I would love it of the machines just interchanged with pullies/tensioners. What I've found though is nothing fits. not even the shaft, because the length changes. Also on the latest style Butler the shaft had to be elevated and sits higher even inside the van.
White Magic used to sell me interchange front end kits, but now that they're out I've quit trying. The best I can hope for is to find wrecked units. And I have done that in the past. Does anybody know of any?
BTW, I'm right up the road from you in Crossville. I love Pigeon Forge....except for the traffic.
Sincerely,
Dale
