Have a Leeboy paver in the shop now...at some point a cutoff gate was fubar’d, likely due to being open while unloading from a trailer
I thought it was going to be a simple job of pulling a long pin and swapping gates. You know, like a normal person would design it to be.
Oh but no...
The pin is fully welded to the gate. You have to cut off the hinge tubing off of frame of machine, and weld the new gate/hinges on with all the fun of aligning it and welding it.
So far it’s coming out via O/A torch work and mostly in small chunks and slag. Gotta love it.
