Painted and going back together!

If you don't have an overhead crane string a chain between two trees and make one...

After only a few dozen expletives and a thrown tool or two (JK) the bumper is back on! When I did the finish welding it warped and nothing lined up! :mur:

I mounted the tool box today that I had forgot about ordering until UPS came up my drive! No trees were involved... :)

Is it loud under there? Looks like it could sound like a kettle drum with a downpour.

That's one reason I went with 14ga sheet metal, I figured the thicker material wouldn't rattle so much. It's not any louder but it sounds a whole lot different. Before the tractor didn't really sound like a diesel at all, just a real deep exhaust noise. Now it sounds like an old cummins engine. I can hear the distinct diesel chatter of the valves with a raspy engine noise... I like! :D

I like your saying, mine was alway, "If you dont have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over" A little different take on the same thing.
