Cool!!! Keep us informed how it goes. Like others have said, it is great of you to do this for the original owner. Glad it is working out for both of you.

I had a guy I work with tell me he was looking for a K code to start a project. I found him one last year at Carlisle complete, disassembled and cleaned for $3300.00. His comment was "I don't want to spend that much".......... I quit looking for him!

Good luck with your project.
