If I were a Chinese motorsickle importer, I would name my company Hudat and every model would be a Ninja.
 
It took most of the day,two trucks and two trailers but I finally got all my stuff home from Sat's auction.(cue the Sanford and Son music)

Finally got the jeep out to fix a few bugs from last October. Of course the "bugs" have been adding to it since then...

Definitely needs a little washing.

First item on the agenda was to poorly tack on this broken shock mount.

At least I had some help.

Unfortunately he spent most of his time jumping up to touch the spare tire! :laughing:

Next on the agenda is to figure out where the D300 is leaking. I wish I would have looked a little harder BEFORE removing the skidplate :rolleyes:

At least it should be an easy fix. :shaking:

I worked for hydraulic tech for a few years in Ohio, they made the hydraulic cylinders for a lot of JLG aerial work platforms like this. When they hired someone new to work in the shop, the production manager would get the jankiest awp in the place and take them up to the rafters. When they were up there he would say something like

“someone’s brother, father, uncle or whatever is gonna be in this situation and their life will be in the hands of a piece of equipment using our parts. We ain’t f$ckin around here”

There were s few that never came back for a 2nd day, but he got his point across

I'm glad there's people out there that take it that seriously.

Holy shit! My dad would have bid that up to where you couldn't afford it! Are there any buckets of bent nails that we could straighten?:laughing:

Reminds me of growing up with my dad. You bend a nail, you don't reach for another one, you straighten it and then use it. He designed the house that I grew up in and when I say designed, I mean he had a blueprint for everything. He spec'd out exactly what length boards had to be used where to get the most out of each cut of wood. He even calculated exactly how many of each size nail that would be purchased and where each was to be used. He contracted a guy to be the GC and was very clear that the materials on the drawings would be the ONLY ones provided and that if they made a wrong cut or had excessive waste, it was coming out of the GC's pocket, not my dad's. Sure enough, everything was built to spec as though they were building one big-ass Lego set. Only problem came when the flooring supplier sent the wrong materials to the build site and the flooring contractor installed hard wood floors upstairs (didn't bother to look at the plans, just "went from his gut", thinking that my dad wanted hardwood floors in the upstairs bedrooms and hallway. After they were sanded and sealed, my dad asks them, "Didn't you read the plans?" Nope. Flooring supplier had to deliver carpeting and the contractor had to install carpeting over finished hardwood floors. I wasn't aware of it growing up, but later in life when I bought my parents' house and started to remodel did I pull up the carpeting and find beautiful finished hardwood floors.

Yes, my dad was THAT guy that waited until they had finished the job before pointing out their mistake.

Yeah, that's not my dad..... he can make something from nothing and it's never planned.
He won't buy anything new, but he'll sure as hell buy a bucket of used bolts and bent nails at an auction! Lol

Some of those were spilt out on the floor of a school bus that was being used for storage.Took a square tip shovel and scooped them up.Their was 2680 # (about 20 buckets) of that stuff.

This guy apparently was the same way.I bought 7 boxes of used carbs.
 
Dude!! My dad tore down old chicken houses and had me straightening nails and chipping mortar off off of cinder blocks for years. You would reuse all the nails, insulation and tin to build new structures. Then you would get to mop on kool-seal so the roof wouldn't leak. I bet we tore down 20 over the years.
