Tractor repairs
I was just getting ready to start a welding project when Tom came by with his tractor to do a repair on his thee point hitch. I set him up to cut and drill the pieces he needed.
He welded the pieces on to his hitch and was good to go.
My project
I had this idea on a way to make my new trailer more useful for hauling long materials. It was an easy thing to make so I thought I’d put it together today.
I cut the pieces out and tacked them together on the trailer where it would go.
Then I took it off and welded it all up.
Paint
Then I put a couple coats of paint on it and let it dry.
After the paint dried, I installed the new part.
A better idea
After looking at it, I decided there was a better way to do this. That was to make the bar higher than the rails on the trailer so a fork lift could load it. I can modify the one I built rather easily and then I’ll have to make another one the same height so a fork lift could load and unload stuff on the trailer, such as building materials. That will be another day.
Mowing weeds
While I was waiting for the paint to dry each time I put a coat of paint on it, I used the mower to mow some weeds and got a good start on that, but didn’t finish. Mowing is hard on my back so doing a little at a time is the best way to get the weeds mowed.
Nice day.
