3 - 12" risers
3- 12" J-Tubes
17- 12" spools
Riser clamps
Big yellow thing is the riser guard that gets welded to the platform after the risers are installed.

Stupid spredder bar weighs more than the spools.

Looks good. How'd you paint the rims without pulling the chains?

After 30 years my wife’s art degree that I paid for finally paid off. She brushed the rim lip and I sprayed the rest.

I’m happy the majority of the spraying is done, I beat the pollen and dodged the rain.

I see you and I raise you to this job :flipoff2: :laughing:

The part I hate of this type of work, removing this crap with the thin insane speed of the circle of death cutting disc that’s just aching to disintegrate and stab into your flesh.

I’ve had this traffic warning sign trailer for around 20 years. I’m fixing to make it street legal and use it for small loads. It had hydraulic brakes on it but I don’t think I’ll need breaks on it, if so, I can always add them

And the part of it I enjoy

Same with or red cedar trees here. First time I saw one plum out it’s pollen I thought it was dust from a gravel road. But we were chip n seal roads so no dust. I was in my shop and looked up my driveway and noticed the dust plum up my driveway. I thought that was very odd to see Ross dust. Then I scanned to the right where the slight wind was blowing from. I saw nothing. The I realized it was coming gone my huge cedar trees on the right side of my driveway. It was thick enough you couldn’t see through it.
 
And, wahalla, it’s done.

Why a red hitch you wonder? Well, paint yours bright red and back up to it using your backup camera and let me know if you like it or not.

He's a National Show Horse, which is an Arabian/American Saddlebred cross. He's registered as a National Show Horse, Half Arabian, a Saddlebred, and a Paint.

Sire is NV Beau Bey, one of the big dollar breeders. He's a descendant of Widditz, a Polish Arabian stolen from the Polish Royal Stables by the Nazis and liberated by one of Patton's companies. The book "The Perfect Horse" is ***led after Widditz.

We got him out of a field in Fallbrook for $600. The owner had no idea he was a descendent of Arabian horse royalty. He was about 300 pounds underweight and hadn't been ridden at four years old. I called the owner of Beau Bey before I picked him up. He's the only cross bred get from Beau Bey that's registered. Beau Bey was bred with his dam, who was their daughters riding horse. When she went off to college he sold him because "That's what I do". They lost track of him because the buyer went bankrupt. The daughter called me asking to buy him back, but we've had him for 15 years now. He's a world champion western dressage horse trained by my little girl.

My daughters other horse we had to put down last year at 33 years old was a traditional Crabbit Arabian. They were together for 25 years.
