Borrowed a trailer from a neighbor today to haul a piece of farm equipment. This is what I found when I went to pick it up. lolYeah, I know, but it'll be ok!Lincoln Square wave 255Miller Vintage mig30a spoolgunThermal Dynamics Pacmaster 100xl plasmaSmith mc torchEllis 1600 band saw

Reply:That's the "moved with a skid loader bucket" style wiring.My name's not Jim....
Reply:Here's a few of it done. Welded the fenders back on.Did some hammer work to straighten the fenders.Re-attached the break away box and fixed the cord. Also replaced a couple lights.The fenders will need to be replaced soon and it needs a complete re-wire. Forgot to get a pic of it, but the wires had the coating rotted off on most of the plug wires. I've never seen the coating go before the wires were gone, but that's what's going on on this trailer.Yeah, I know, but it'll be ok!Lincoln Square wave 255Miller Vintage mig30a spoolgunThermal Dynamics Pacmaster 100xl plasmaSmith mc torchEllis 1600 band saw
Reply:Also had a broken part from the grain drill to repair today. A carriage bolt goes through there and when I tried to take it out the twisting of the bolt broke it. Just v'd it a bit and welded it back together with Nomacast rod. Came out nice and straight when done. Sorry for the blurry picks, I haven't figured out why my camera does that sometimes yet.Yeah, I know, but it'll be ok!Lincoln Square wave 255Miller Vintage mig30a spoolgunThermal Dynamics Pacmaster 100xl plasmaSmith mc torchEllis 1600 band saw

Reply:You don't hear of that too ofter, bringing back something borrowed in better condition than it was when you borrowed it.  Great work.  Watch out though, he may want you to borrow his boat next.
Reply:Great job and a man after my own heart.  Awesome! I agree with Leroy so if he mentions borrowing his boat - tell him your busy.  Those things exist to just consume all your free time. That looks like Oliver green on the grain drill part.  Close?MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
