AMEN

This would be cool and fun.

Sort of the idea only sideways

I thought about bracing as you drew Marc, but the sides coming down from the bed are pretty weak and not much steel. I do have a plan for bracing. Stand by stand by. Ill post as I do.

Killin m.e.....

Goood tip. This was all clamped and strapped to hold in place. Was running pretty hpt. Just over 100 amp on 3/32

Unfortunately, Forney is about all I can get local. I'll be ordering something diffy in the future. It does lay down nice. Made sure my metal was clean. Easy when its basically new and never painted. Getting the stick to start is a PITA. Diagonal pliers very busy today. Does not bend well for...

Tombstone.

Camera angle makes it look crooked. But that bottom piece of channel iron the receiver is resting on is exact from the receiver hitch frame its all welded to. I need one more of the same channel iron size pictured. But I am going to cut a slot in it for the receiver and then weld it on its side...

Damn these roads. Tearing my kit up. Hitch welds cracked again. So cut and grind and weld again. Added a 1/4" strap to maybe help a little. Kyle. I hate 7018 bud. I have one more Idea for the othe front side of the receiver but will require more bending and some 1/4" channel iron. I have some...

Die grinder?

I had to one hand a lot on this project. I am hardly steady with 2. But I guess I pulled through. I often had to pre bend the rod in 2 places to hit angle. Run 1/2 a rod in one place, save the other half for another. Just needing the length of the rod to reach some spots. 7018 I had to use the...

I have never had much fun with 7018. I had such a hard time starting the rod I had left, I think I need more new next time. Probably got damp in the enclosed shop. Noticed the back door open right next to it and our humidity has been high. Never had good luck with it. Ran some 3/32 at105Amp and...

In fact, we fixed an irritating little issue after all these years. The wire to the starter solenoid is a blade connector that slides onto the blade fixed onthe solenoid. Over time, heat and vibration make that connection loose and eventually it can even fall off. You talk about a sumbiatch out...

All that muscle in a tiny itty bitty package.. that you can barely get a wrench in :lol: Once the fuel tank and shrouds are in place, lucky to squeeze a hand in there

Motor time....

4 o rings per drive motor, two hard pipe hydro lines. Double those o rings (I cant get local) if you loosen the other side of the hard lines. Need to pull and beat off drive wheels using a long bar from across machine. Sometimes heat as well that could possibly fry the outer seal. Unbolt motors...

I cant make too much heat over the drive motors either. Trying not to remove those.... PITA. Adds another day to the project as well.
