<DIV>You know the price difference between the parts, so what you want to kn=
ow
is the price differential as far as how much time it takes to do e=
ach
job. In that case, you can probably answer your own question. If you are onl=
y
replacing hammers, does it take longer to remove upright hammers than grand
hammers? Is there time difference in traveling, spacing,
and burning upright hammers and grand hammers? Are you includ=
ing
regulating the action too, and is there a difference between the t=
wo.
