Well, humid weather is here again. Glad I have this high volume fan.
I took the night off to run into Houston and pick up 4 aircraft tires and wheels Monday. Gensco Aircraft Tires have tires on wheels ready to go. 9 x 15 16 ply tires, wheels, and sealant..........$118 each. I also picked up 4 gang bolts that I mis ordered.
The tongue and all it's monkey motion is installed and ready to roll.
The gangs are all on.
I painted the lift cylinder Black, to add some color contrast on top. I had to touch up the paint after I removed it from hanging from my loader. So it will go on ASAP.
I hope Fred (GreenWannabe) is not feeling to left out, as I still have some green paint on a gang bearing mount.
I am not finished with this project by no means. I still need to make some new disc scrapers out of 2 inch wide 3/8 inch thick strap, and fab. scrapers to weld on them, then have a machine shop cut out square slots so it can slide on the carriage bolts. I'm missing over half of the scrapers. With 12 disc pans on front and 12 on back, 22 scrapers are used. I have 9 on hand and only 1 of those is good to go. All the rest need new scraper plates welded on. Amco wants around $90 each for new disc scrapers!
Right now, it is ready to take to the welding shop to fix 2 maybe three cracks I found while painting.
hugs, Brandi
