Dang wish I had friends with spare lead just sitting around

Hmm/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif? Does that mean that you're going to get the lead out??/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Mark,
Only problem with that is your neighbor may want a cut./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hoss,
That wouldn't be a problem at all. This gentleman is one of my clients, I am caretaker of his big lake front home. Very old mansion type place, 5 car detached garage, 2 bay boat house, huge old 8 bedroom, 5 bath house facing the water, big attached Rec room, Mstr. bedroom is the whole third floor attic, probably 20 x 40 overlooking the lake.
$900 to them is a weekend at the golf course.
Nicest people in the world, they treat you more like family than hired help. When and if they ever sell the place, he has given my dad and myself all the contents of the garage including the old Ford with FEL (9n I think) various attachments etc. Who knows if it will ever happen.

Mark, Can you do me a small favor? Will you take a look at your ballast box & measure
from the bottom 3 pt. link pins to the top link connection? I made a box but I think I
put the pins too high up on the box.

P.S. You don't want to know how long it took me to make that picture of the box above!

molerj,
You have way to much time on your hands. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
I would be happy to give you that measurement.
In the morning /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Merry Christmas

I added a receiver hitch to my Ballast Box.

I haven't forgotten to get your measurment. Somehow the day got away from me and before I knew it it was dark.
Hope you had a Great Christmas day.
I will measure the box as soon as I can.

 

[Mark_in_NH]

molerj,
I finally got to take the measurement that you requested.
From the CENTER of the TOP PIN to the CENTER of the LOWER PINS is 15 1/4 inchs
Hope this helps.

Most tire shops will give you old tire weights.
