fixin dads tractor

admin

I would like to kick the hell out of the owner .... lol.... but i cant because its my dad....lol this is the front support on the front end loader.  I noticed that the bucket looked a little funny... the whole thing shifted over to the right. So i removed it after supporting it.  this is what i found so i buffed it and drilled the end of the crack. after grinding and using a ratchet strap to close the gap i ran a pass with 1/8 6011 just because i had no 6010 in the truck lol then grind and ran a pass with 7018 i did both sides grind some more and then reinstalled back on the tractor i gotta show off the goodies while i am here lol 2008 trailblazer 302 thats what i did today. then sat down and ate a plate of shrimp and crawfish jambalaya.63' Lincoln SA200 2008 miller trailblazer 302fibre-metal pipelinermiller camo BWEand all the guns and ammo a growin boy needs

Reply:Nice to see the ratchet strap in use!! I thought I was nuts for doing the same thing a wile back. At least I am not alone. I have a friend in Shreveport- all the shrimp talk has me thinking "roadtrip!!"And then, after so much work...... you have it in your hand, and you look over to your side...... and the runner has run off. Leaving you holding the prize, wondering when the runner will return.

Reply:I like the roll cage on the welder.  Nice repair on the tractor.DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:I was beginning to wonder if you V-ed it out before you welded it. LOL. Us oilies don't use any thing as handy as a strap. We use heavy stuff like chains and boomers and come-a-longs where you get your exercise rasseling it around.
Reply:by the looks of the dirt, you haven't had any rain in a while.  nice repair, and quit blaming stuff on you dad   we cooked up a chicken and sausage gumbo just a couple of weeks ago.  love the gumbo.
