    Gotcha. Thank you! Thank you. After watching them beat on the other one, I think I will see this one in a year or earlier! Thanks! I will! It's the hills. Still tweekers around, but no many. I live in Garden Valley. It's about 4-5 miles from Georgetown. Still a cool small town. There...

    I think I would have been better off building a new one. But I had a budget of $3200 to work under. I lost my ass, but I look at as a new customer discount. Investing in building a relationship with another company.

    Once I got it aligned, I burned it all up and painted it. Shipped it out. I have been trying to get a picture of it on the machine, but no luck yet.

    After I machined the new pin tubes for the buckets, I got them welded up and placed some gussets on the inside to add support to the bucket ears. I also added overlays to the sides where all the welds were built up. hopefully this will help keep it from cracking around there.

    I did the same thing as I did on the buckets. Bored the hole's to 2" and put the new pin bosses in. I also decided to add some vertical gussets on the sides to add kind of a "rub rail" when they use it as a wrecking ball. it also added support for the new side plate. All .045" 71M dual shield.

    now that the buckets were fixed. I moved onto the main frame. 1" side plates that had been completely tore in half. need less too say, they were not straight with each other anymore. One side was "ok" so I cut the worst side off. I made a new side plate and used my alignment bar once again.

    I added gussets to the pin bosses to help keep the rams from bending the ears again. I also added a wing plate made from .500" plate to the ends. welded with .045" 71M dual shield

    All the pin bores were 1.5". My boring set up cannot go that small. So I machined new pin bosses that step from 2.5" down to 2" with a 1.5" ID. I bored the holes out in the ram ears, and used my alignment bar to tack them in place. The mounting distance was narrower for the new rams anyway. I...
