Thanks to Leonard Jones (Jones), owner of the awesome Baby HEMTT, I'm finishing the outrigger pads. Leonard machined some 5" round stock with an internal taper to accept the ball on the end of the hyd. cylinder rod. I just had to weld them to the pads and make some brackets to accept some 1/2"...
Correct Hammer, I got 'em because I could. My source has told me that since the military is going to civilian contractors for tires in the near future, we won't be seeing cheap tires soon. He is putting in for 9 more for me that he'll keep for me in case I want them. At $250.00 ea. shrink...
