Got hose?
Can build up to 1.25 using Eaton Weatherhead stock. Thinking about ordering up some stock and offering some hose building.
What y'all think?

Quick little farm job. Top link mount came in all twisted up and out of center about 8 inch to the lower link mounts. I have never saw a turning plow that ran completely off set to one side much less the three link not centered to equalize the load.

Squirt gun and a lot of straightening with press and torch.

All healed up and centered with the lower links and plow points spacing.

I have the same plow, but not enough tractor to twist it up like that.
 
This is shinny and new.

Because this is not.

And this is a nightmare of grease and oil.

Deflector shield up Captain!
 
Got a truck back that we took the entire body off for structural repair.
We built this to reconfigure storage.

It crams in the back of the body. Like this..

The bottles are for high pressure cascade filling of Scott bottles. We built the rack and then had to remove it for the tool board installation in phase two. Also modded a few tweaks and a door to retain pike poles and the ladders.

The next phase was the tool board which required top and bottom slides since the weight and 8 foot length puts extreme leverage on the mounting hardware and the body is .125 aluminum.
We mounted the slide with all the former out to access all the dabbed mounting brackets. Then reinserted the ladder storage. My butt was all kinda wadded up putting it all back together.
Last we got to mounting tooling.

Still goes in and out with less effort then expected. One arm operation and a little tug or push does the trick. Slide Master make a great base. This one is a three section single side operation with a mirror unit as the top guide.
 
Which has resulted in this. So we can pull the tank and address the his side wall damage. We also got to pull a few more side doors, trim, and related before we can reconstruct.

Little drill lotta file. Heat marks are from previous crooked wrench mods by the owner. Drill wasn't real happy but it got it started.

I love this! Gave me an idea: Next time just chop a cheap socket up and weld it to it.

We debated on welding a socket or even a bolt head. The access was under the frame rail, up between an EGR cooler and block of a rather large Detroit. The oil line fitting was this large. Between the normal lines hoses, and fire related wiring I just asked for the absolutely positive solution for success.

I wanted to see what was up but got distracted by another problem. Got back to him thirty minutes after I handed it to him. It was on the floor with about a foot of extensions and a ratchet. Engine was running under a load and I got a 👍.

takes a lot of abuse to cut two 1.75 diameter ( thereabouts) plum into

This thing has been at a chicken plant and smells like scalded birds and death!

A friendly reminder to watch out for grease worms...no grease and they will eat your parts. Done several years ago but popped up in some Face space memories.

Making it way more concentric.

Starting to clean up!
 
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.
