Add a Repower category

I would like to suggest adding a repower category. There are more than a few posters here who likely may not be interested in this category since they have newer machines, but there are still many machines out there that could still be used, but their engines are worn out.
In Farmshow magazine, there are quite a few articles on farmers repowering all manners of equipment, and having a repower category here would be helpful for those who still want to use their older machine.
I have repowered my Case 1816 skid loader, have seen others repowered with diesel engines, and originally found this site because I was looking for subjects such as this.
Please consider adding a repower category. It would allow us to discuss repowering machines, how we did it, the problems encountered, parts availability, etc...and pictures if possible.
To start it out, www.smallenginewarehouse.com is where I ordered the new engine for mine, they have many "kits" offered for repowering skid loaders, but it still takes a little creativity and help to get it done.
Thanks

Okay we'll see what type of response we get from some of the other members. If we get a few more "yeahs", I'll put one up....
Thanks for the suggestion!

Well good luck, I've been riding some arses here to change the style of this forum to allow better picture posting with out using more than 5% of our brain's capacity for external thinking.

But if wishes were ponies, I'd be knee deep in sh*t.

Ron - Space is the biggest issue on here. I'm pretty sure Geoffrey told me that with the traffic the site gets and the advertising he doesn't even break even. The larger the pictures that get hosted the more bandwith will be required so he gets charged even more. I do agree that the picture quality is a little poor, thats why when i need to show detail i host it on my personal web space. I'm sure there are other places like photbucket and flickr that can be used to host higher quality pictures.

Okay, we had a couple of replies so I put up the new Forum. Have fun with it. Ron, some things (like revamping the site) take a lot of time to do and others (like adding a new forum) do not. So this is an easy one..

Thanks guys for adding the section. I suppose since I started all this I should go over there and make a post.
