Ha yeah I noticed you cut some pieces off, but when you said you had it fixed in those pictures I was a bit confuzed. I wondered how taking metal out of an already bad design constituted fixing it, but I wasn't going to say anything if you considered it fixed. :lol:

Oh, so it wasn't fixed in the last string of pics you posted? I like the looks of that setup alot more than the square tube hanging way down.

What'd you do to it?

Perhaps you shoulda called before you mounted them, or before you walked out the door? I can see why you don't like the receiver hitch.

Shouldn't you be working or something, Globe Trotter? Looking good, Willie.

If they still made the Lincoln Pro-Core 100, I'd recommend it. I've been happy with mine, even more so when I used it as a CC wire feeder with my Miller Thunderbolt :rockon:

If I was a really infrequent use welder who wanted to weld up fairly small projects, I'd get something like this, for $340. It can handle just about anything a tree worker would need, has a short learning curve, and low startup cost. The main disavantage I see is it has a low duty cycle, which...

Why were you so close to the edge??

Hey keep it brokeback free eh?

I was also thinking on the inside, but if you wanted signs, just put the decals on the painted face of the steel insert.

I was also thinking a thin piece of steel.

"Those" referring to the ones on the 18 wheeler. The interlocking pieces normally are cast steel.

Ever seen the barn doors on an 18 wheeler's trailer? Same idea and function, except those are off the shelf.

Very nice, I was thinking the bar was both rigid and made from some seriously heavy stock. Me likey :)

I don't know if it overcenters Steve, but at the least it gets close and the latch holds it closed. Very snazzy deal, Brendon.

Are you sure it was the same alloy Brendon? Metal Depot has some pretty good prices compared to local here. Plus if you order enough they'll deliver for little to nothing.

It should be really easy. The gate is drawn closed by the arc of the hook. Excluding deflection, the last degrees of the arc require a huge amount of force to overcome (as the gate is drawn home) as the lever is moving much farther than the belly of the hook (lots of MA). It not how I would...

It appears the latch is a long bar with a hook on the end. To close the gate you first close the gate, then swing the bar's hook into the loop welded on the gate, and finally drop the end of the bar into the angle iron catch. There is a piece of angle iron above it, likely mounted with a single...

Geeeze Brendon sure is keeping on you, Willie! Best get on it!

Outside=wind= shielding gas of MIG gets blown away leaving your liquid metal exposed to the atmosphere.
