Any baffles in the tank? That's 4300+ # of water sloshing around back there., could be more if the specific gravity of whatever you're hauling is greater than 1.0. When I was in the ag tank business we always tried to put baffle(s) in anything over 500 gallon that was going to be licensed for the road.
Nope . Cant have baffles for asphalt sealer for driveways and parking lots . You have a mixer inside and end of season clean out would be even harder .
Now to wire the light on both and paint them black .
Looks great.
I have one customer that is particularly good at destroying things, I spent the last couple days fixing their latest goof up
Nice
whipped up my version of a mobile scrap steel rack like the one a buddy gave me but was too big so I gave it to my brother.
need to tie the two sides together with flat bar side to side as well a ‘backsplash‘ so the shorts don’t roll off to the back.
What's the white block in between the ****** and the new mount?
It’s a piece of Delrin. Originally I was gonna use the stock crossmember and modify it to work, but to get my angles right, the trans had to be tilted to where it is and it set the mount 1.5” above the top of the crossmember. Then I decided to build a crossmember but also kept the block of Delrin as a spacer rather than make the mount on the crossmember taller.
Do the bolts go thru or are they tapped into the delrin from both sides. Assuming this is used as an isolation pad?
Yeah it’s thru holes, the bolts thread into the two holes in the mounting pad on the trans tailpiece. And yeah, it’s main function is a spacer to get angles right but it does also function as secondary isolation
Coincidentally I saw this today, thought you might like it. It was in an art gallery on Worth ave on Palm beach island.Have a broken blower case I'll be making a coffee table from.
The base will be 2.5" square tubing with 1.5" round tubing cantilevering from rear to front
After cutting the base pieces to length I cut a 45* bull-nose. Capped off the ends with a 1/8" plate formed to fit. Will grind the welds smooth and start on the glass top support.
Alan, starting is the best part. Got my first welder when I was 63 for Father's Day. I'm sure 77 is too old to learn a few new tricks but never too old to try. The more welding practice you get, the easier the grinding goes.
Joe, every time Gene Winfield opens his mouth, pearls of wisdom come out. From "Every day is a School Day" to "I'm just getting started." First time I came across Gene Winfield was in 1956 when he did some work on Spencer Murray's Rod&Custom Dream Truck. Readers wrote to the magazine, suggesting changes to the truck and every issue of R&C contained a story about the progress. Started out as a 1950 half-ton Chevy pickup with one of the first small block's from GM in 1954.
Looks good. I have been wanting to build something similar for my post vice and one more for a machinist vice. My former spot to get used metal is gone and I'm scared to know what the material cost would be if I bought new!
Don't think that is going to hold, there is a reason it broke off. I would drill and tap to add a saddle (reinforcement) piece to the inside or outside or both if you have the room. Just my observation....... I never had much luck welding stuff like that, it always breaks next to the weld, and all you can say is ##$%%%%!
