    Old Steamer

    Operating Engineer

    20dub, I guess that is an interesting thread, but it does not answer the specific questions he was asking.

    Working around idiots....

    Cat Bucket Reheel

    Looks like some skillful welding! Were you able to buy the heel plate like that or did you have to bend it yourself?
