Hello to the Zagray Farm from Belgium,
We are making preparations to install an new powerline

Last week the collegues did start up the engine again after 20 yaers.
Ath the second attempt, the engine was running again.
So now we can go on to make the preparations for the moving.
This is the storry of the actual preparation we do virtual on Fusion360,
to get know the probles we can encouter with the installarion
of the 7XHR engine, the new powerline and the DEMOOR P6 powerhammer

The next thing we will have to do is to saw out the floor
on the good location to put in the concrete fundation for the engine:

Looks great! Do you have dimensions/drawings for the foundation and bolt locations? We will need to do this for our engine once it's completed.
