Spreader Painting wasteoil on manure spreaders

I do not remember confirming u are right

That is because you jumped into the fray without all the facts. You really have no clue what I said originally because you didn't take the time to go back and read the discussion. Seems you just want to sling personal insults and don't really care what the actual facts are.

In my second post on the subject of replacing deck boards, I said that 99% are designed so that the boards are the last thing installed after welding, primering and painting. I was clearly conceding that probably 1% were made using other methods to install the boards.

So when you decided to tell me that yours was made with a welded piece over the boards, you were simply confirming what I had already conceded. That there were trailers made differently. Add to that the fact that in your first post above you confirmed that they were also made like I said the 99% were, and you have confirmed my position twice......but still want to argue about it for some strange reason.

So lets review the facts as they are presented here:

On July 4th you posted the following: "My trailer has straps welded across the planks,both ends." and you posted in the same message, "I have built a few trailers myself and yes I have seen some that we are like the ones we are talking about....not including mine"

So in one post you confirmed that they were built both ways, as did I, but now you want to claim that you don't remember.

Not sure where you got the idea that I build trailers, but I don't. I use to repair them when they got wrecked.

Now stovepoker, we all gotta get into the 21st century and give up our old ways cause just today I heard some government official (Idiot) expounding on how the planet may not be able to support us in 2050.
My town just bought a dizen new Sterling trucks with dump bodys lined with special plastic that doesn't allow hot asphalt to stick in the truck ( I am waiting to see the first one work), and only cost a few thousand extra. I'm bettin since steel floors break in these trucks the plastic liners ain't gonna help one bit.
What America needs as a plastic liner for a manure spreader, something non stick, like teflon that is used for a slip plate on a 5th wheel. Poop and wood both might be biodegradable, but till the government gives me money to do a study on the effect of waste oil mixed with poop, I'm not oiling my spreader any more.

Don't be afraid of that oil. It ain't going to hurt you. Just

That statement, is of course, incorrect.

think, many rural road departments still spread oil on dirt

The bituminous emulsion you are probably thinking of is a bit more environmentally stable than spraying waste oil straight on the ground.

Ozarker.. what did you expect?... Remember, we are already on a thread talking with people that think it is absolutely 'OK' to introduce waste oil products into the environment at will.

Soundguy

Yes, I know what you're talking about.
I should apoligize and be ashamed of myself for allowing this thread to go so far. But the fact is that I was having fun poking a stick at this sleeping bear.
The reality is that I was completely surprised that people would get so upset when I pointed out that a welder was not normally considered a wood working tool and was generally not required to complete a wood working task. Silly me.

Well I certainly didn't expect that last response from cousin. I have seen that in other forums, even done it myself in a political forum, but had gotten use to more measured responses here.

As a matter of fact I manufacture a reinforced Teflon sheet material that
can be used to line a manure spreader. This is a food grade
material that is used by the fast food industry to cook burgers etc on.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, sticks to it. You could
bring the manure spreader back to the barn, hose it out, and
cook your supper in it. Personally, I'm not that hungry. I'd
use a dedicated sheet of this stuff to cook on and leave the
liner in the spreader. But I would saturate the wood bed with
some kind of protectant, since this kind of equipment is going
to see extremes in temperature and humidity. The Teflon sheet will
last forever but sooner or later Mother Nature is
gonna recycle that wood. If any of you guys are interested
I'll send dome samples.

Makes you wonder doesn't it. I think some people loose sight of the topic, and are just in it for the argument..er.. discussion.

Oh, and happy belated 4th to ya... I work 6days a week, including holidays, so I sometimes forget to wish others some good tidings and such when the holidays come and pass.
