Dump Trailer Repair

Short Game · Sep 26, 2011

The only time I ever used a wire-feed was to weld some body steel on my 210 Datsun (that be some thin sh*t!). I ended up with something that looked like a porcupine. :laughing:

I got the hinges welded on and put the body back on today. Had to do a little positioning to get the tractor behind it..

Job well done Jake! :thumbsup: I bet it took some back and forth by the time you lined up the hinges.

Thanks guys, I know it ain't pretty, but when I think of the price of a new one, it looks better..

In my world functional is fashionable. Who cares if it looks ugly as long as it works right.

Now some paint and a good heavy oiling underside for protection...

Yup, I was thinking the same thing,
at least the oiling. I use to mix wd-40 and any type of motor oil in a cheap spray bottle, soak the whole underside. That's if you can still buy wd-40 in the gallon can.

That's how I buy it. Every once in a while, they offer a special of a bigger than one gallon can for no extra charge. I probably waste some, but not as much as when I use it from a spray can.
