  Ok Francis..gotcha on the trip vs. pile driver.  Thanks for clearing that 
up.  We are always looking for a small trip hammer but as you know they are 
way out of my league.

  No exhaust head on our VFT.  Exhaust is piped to the stack minus the 
proper nozzle which we need to research.

  I do not know what an exhaust head is.

  Regards,
