Rebuilding it might be the smarter move.

Former's Factory Rebuilt Machines are restored to OEM-level precision, lower cost than new, with the performance and longevity your line demands. Every rebuild is done in-house at our Kenosha, WI facility by the same team that builds them from the ground up.
