Trailer builders are really getting slack. Down to Earth brand tilt.
Had to chain bind the frame to the deck to drag it to the shop. Customer wanted on site. No bueno unless you got deep pockets.

Lots of spray and pray down hill. The washwr had me laughing and shaking my head. GVWR on this unit is stickered at almost 14k😂😂😂

I swear I’ve never worked there but apparently my welds have lmao
 
Two new crossers of full size 4 inch instead of one of 3 inch junior channel.

Healthy interior boxing of the main frame at the weakest point and the place it turned into a banana.

Little 3/8 by 6 plate will help.

Boxing in and another tie in to reinforce the corner. Over kill is good!
Added some guide of the same thickness since the 1/4 by 2 was broken off as well.

While we are at it lets fix those lock tabs that had no gussets and where sheared off.

Finished up by straightening the jack that was at a 45 degree angle and had three different sizes of hardware and wing nuts?!?

Fixed a few. But never from plain poor craftsmanship.

Usually operator error. Here is a good one for you.

Operator had it over loaded with totes of scrap. Something went way south when he was using his skid steer to relocate it in his yard. It was brand hammer new for the most part.
 
PSA!
50 tons is where it's at!

My 30 ton stopped and also pulled my inch bar apart at the threads.

1.25 bar and more tonnage slipped her in. Pretty tight press on these units.

Yes! And this side got hung. I ran out of torch gas and my preheat on the boss wasn't high enough. First side slid in like K-Y on a weiner😎.

Edit: 6 thou press is like 40 virgins all at once.

6 thou is pretty massive, especially on a piece that big.

CAT and Komatsu run some dumb tight press fits. But all my research says they do not beat out and spin the bushes. That is a good thing to get all the wear out of them before replacement.
 
Been tinkering on the "pizza oven" again.

Custom duct work😃 Little adjustable air flow.

Reinforced the hood. Haven't decided if I want to mold some refractory casting inside yet. Don't really want to see it all buckled up from heat. Makes my head hurt to think it might get all distorted. Seriously want to repurpose it to a pizza oven should the whole forging with wood is too tedious. I like the aspect of very free fuel because of all the mess I get to cut and clean up every year.

Needed a hot cut knife. A old badly worn wood wedge seemed free enough.

Made some tool storage. Gonna buy a few very cheap hammers to beat on some metal with.

Will wood burn hot enough to forge weld?

Wood Charcoal will. Takes a lot more finesse and experience. Remember Japan wasn't rich in coal. All those magnificent Japanese swords started with forge welded Damascus type billets forge welded using charcoal.
