Yup.......... another bucket. At least this one is not a bottom
As you can see the damage is pretty clear......... so we'll be removing the old ears and fabing up new ones. The original ears are 1" thick, the customer wants to go with 1.25", whatever he wants.
First step is to remove the old ears. This is actually a pretty involved process, things are not always built as they seem.
The 1.25" plate is here... I can take a break from grinding and cut the new ear plates. After I draw up a template I head to the burning table. This really is a handy machine.
When all is said and done I have 2 new plates cut the same.
Next I have to turn up some pin bosses/ spacers to weld to the new ear plates before I weld the plates to the bucket.... I'll continue as I make progress..
Thanks for looking.....
If you're tired of seeing this stuff let me know....
