Reply:What is it welded together with?  Seems like 3/32 flux core would be the best option for something like that.

Reply:Mondo that is exactly why the fire extinguisher is there .... it is my own design of self deploying fire suppression system.The bucket is a 56 cubic yard bucket that is using hammerless adapter system. (Shanks). They slip over and use a c shape clamp and a threaded wedge to hold them in place.My favorite part is...the money ha ha and watching it leave. The hardest part was cutting out the old floor and fitting in 1 1/2 plat to replace it.The liner plates are ar 500 its 1 1/4 thick the bars are ar 550 2" thick.
