I just want you to know, YOU'RE A BAD MAMMA JAMMA

Is that a tile plow or what?

x2 For a little extra, drill a little material out of the axle tube before plug welding.

Certainly the only person to lift a 7020 with an engine hoist. NICE!

its 3/4 plate. lift horizontally vs vertically. my grandfather would weld a horseshoe to the center and pick it up with the jib crane, I would use two chains, a couple clamps, and a $150 cherry picker. I'm an over engineer-er, but really, you guys on here are something else. Spend the time...

Yep. Used to go on ebay for less than two bills. Decent on sheetmetal, my biggest issue was the stiff plastic on the whip.

I like this kind of thread, however it makes me feel like i cheated when we did the engine swap on the bobcat. (it has a completely different arm setup, so we just added on to the engine bay to fit the I5 engine)

Nice! I’ve seen a lot of the videos of it, it seems to weld pretty nicely, too. I think I’ll stick with my old 200 for now though.

The size and organization of your space will determine a lot of the practical responses. A table built like a tank isn't something you want to have to wheel in and out of a corner every time you use it. If you're doing delicate work, you could throw a piece of ply on some sawhorses. believe it...

If you're super worried, cut a hair short on all sides, and smack it to break the little nub that's holding on in the middle. Not exactly rocket surgery.

Shave it. I've got a similar issue with my 73 ford crew cab. Luckily it hasn't gotten into the drip rail yet, but the sheetmetal on the roof skin that is spot welded to it is gone. Maybe break it, and then roll it if it is doubled up. Don't forget the seam sealer!

Poor choices were at fault there. Threaded rod is out there holding up much more. But regardless, still recommend looking that up. I think I've learned as much from "engineering disasters" and related case studies than I have from all of my engineering course lectures.

Genie lift or roustabout would get you there. a bunch of beer, a friend or two would possibly be a bit cheaper and faster.

Pour an apron, where else are you going to wash and detail cars?

Maybe the infomercial business was more lucrative?
