Where to get A-Frame Struts?

[OlderToday]

Buy???
What's that mean? Never heard of "buy".
The one I made for my box blade cost less than four bucks and a bit of O/A. If it had been winter when I made it,I would have just heated the steel up in my shop stove.

Well bobodu...I was going to bend some struts using just my teeth and the 'ol guns, but my wife informed me of the going rate of dental work should I slip during the process of such (smart woman), not that I would ever slip.

But, since I don't have much of a shop, just a cold garage, a small stick welder and a plasma cutter, it might be cheaper for me to just buy the finished product.

The agri supply parts look like they might work. I'll check into it and make sure the price is for two struts.

The search is over...I found a fabrication shop here in Ohio (Ballard Fabrication's Store - Business & Industrial) that sold me a pair made out of 3/8" x 2" for about half the price of buying "replacement" struts. Struts came today and look like they'll be just about perfect for my BX24 project. I originally saw Ballard's 3 point stuff for small tractors on eBay and decided he might just be willing to sell some of his raw components. Funny thing how cold steel will get when UPS leaves it on your front porch in sub-freezing temps for several hours.

Thank you, I had just taken a drink of tea and now I have it all over the key board and my nose is dripping. After today I needed a good laugh.
