Reply:Boilerman,Thanks for the pics.  Neat project.Regarding the dgital camera, you only have to pay for it once.  Add up the cost of the disposables, your time and money getting them processed and the cost of wasted shots and it gets pretty expensive.Best part about the digital is you know it's a good shot as soon as you take it.  Sure sucks to shoot some pics and find out a day later they are crap.  Sure is easy to keep all you stuff organized, too.
Reply:today i patched one of the rear rims ...had a hole 3.250 x3.250 in it no pics of it ....and had to weld the power shaft cuz the dumb asses from the town it came from had hard time figurin out left handed threads so they cut it 3/4 of the way before someone straightened them out ...numberous bushings had to be welded and machined out to be rebushed ...all in all good winter project ....next project is another grain truck ...just passed one on the road for sale and got to stop and check it out ....well it is either another grain truck or a digital camera ...i vote truck
Reply:Geez BM a rattle can of RustOleum could have saved you a lot of welding time.  That's how the dealers generally do it, after all, most of the dealers know you just turn the amps down and pile weld on top, then paint.Appreciation Gains You Recognition-
