Score!!!! New shoes and a winch.

You going to be able to use those frame extensions?

 

[phil2968]

They really fubared the drive shaft! I hate it when someone takes a torch to remove parts. What about the PTO and cab linkage? Did you get those? That driveshaft is a good $120. They're on eBay. They sure cut close on those extensions.

 

[Streetgliderx]

The extensions are ok I believe they have all the bolt holes. The shaft I can build I own a fab shop, I also cut out my wheel adapters today.

Sadly all I got was the winch but I only paid 250 for it. I got a line on levers and a pto. Man may have a shaft too.

Nice job on the adapters... Made some like that for my 4040 JD tractor to put IH wheel weights on the rear.. to add about 500lbs per wheel.. IH wheel weights are cheap down here in S TX... I am guessing you cut them on a water table?? And punched the holes

[greg2560]

[Streetgliderx]

Yes it's plasma water table. They fit great I'm tapering the holes for the lug nuts now.

A lot of stuff is cut with water these days; even your loaf of bread is sliced by water jet. I'm sure there's a youtube video of it...

Yeah water jets are amazing I just couldn't spring for a million dollar machine. I got nearly 40k in the plasma table.

I got'cha...I can't even afford the plasma table, but I'm certainly jealous! I used to be a machinist for quite a while and had access to a lot of stuff. Now that I'm chained to a desk/cubicle, I still have the access, but absolutely no G-jobs allowed...

[Streetgliderx]

Yeah I understand that. I have a full fab shop, lathes, end mills, and of course the plasma table. I foresee a lot of built parts for this beast.

 

[greg2560]

Nice

got to have to good shop tools to work on junk and make it work. Build it, buy it or what ever it takes.... Fixing to start dump bed install on mine just got to get the time to do it... Got the dump hoist in 2 months ago!!!!

 

[Streetgliderx]

Oh wow. Well yeah it helps to have tools to handle this large stuff. I put the tires on today. It took a track hoe to lift, a forklift to manage the wheels and a large service truck for the air tools!!!

[greg2560]
