same thing happened here. IIRC they tracked the burnout-er down and cited him with a hate crime or something like that.

I'm surprised Bangor is on board with the Froot Loops doing graffiti on the street. It's a fairly Blue Collar, people work for a living area. Not exactly Sand Francisco.

They had Pubic Works repainting it yesterday. I'm sure that'll last 🤣
 
Looked like it was old school gas welded.

My MIG welding has always been "meh" with my Lincoln 175. Got a ching ling unit and **** me sideways it welds WAY better than that Lincoln. Even with the digital junk and all sorts of settings I have no idea do what.
Hardly any spatter, HOT bead that smooths and lays out nice.

Long story short about three different people "learning to weld". (Not me) Held up through about five flops and two rolls.

Edit: I got the main cage done and let some friends practice on **** that I didn't care about and structurally didn't matter. It's an armrest.

Pulled the service bed off the truck to put a regular bed on. One of the more sketchy things I’ve done. Anyone need a service bed, I’ll make someone a good deal on it. I need to get some fork extensions for the forklift. Probably would’ve been a quick easy thing with em

been thinking about turning my absolute turd of a service truck into a trailer
then I think about making it into a trailer and a turd of a pickup
then I set the thought aside and allow it to rot into the yard even further
frame's rotted, cab's rotted, fiberglass box is thrashed on all sides, smells like coolant when run but isn't losing a significant amount, ate a serp idler last time I ran it and haven't fixed that yet, it'll upshift 2-3 once then after it warms up you gotta trick it with a 2-4 then a 4-3 downshift, rearend was the cleanest I'd ever opened up but I only welded one side of the spider gears instead of both faces; they broke apart and went through the r&p shedding a couple teeth on the ring and one on the pinion; runs smooth after completing the weld-up but I'm still concerned about maybe the pinion shaft has a crack in it which will leave me mucho stranded when it cracks the rest of the way through (2wd)

anyways;
finally pulled the leaking oil pump from the big (baby 16x30?) sidney lathe (mid-30s 8spd herringbone (sort of an ur-tritrol if you get the deutsch term))
it had three 1/4npt street elbows threaded into its discharge port to get around the input shaft, and to get those unthreaded you'd need to remove all the gears
so I sawzalled off the elbows to fish the pump out
there was a compression fitting and copper tube threaded into the street elbows, I just stuck that right into the pump and bent the copper tube into a shape that fit around the gears and shift fork and also allowed it to be removed from the headstock
no idea why it wasn't done that way to begin with, could tell that it had been unbolted and smeared with gasket sealer about twenty times
maybe it was designed that way initially but people were assembling them wrong with the copper tube rubbing on the oil pump eccentric so they added the trio of clearance elbows

When I slapped my sandwich together yesterday, the tops of the loaf was opposite. That ****ed with some OCD, don't even think it tasted right.

I have a similar thing. the two slices I take out the loaf the two sides that were facing each other. yeah they gotta stay together. Don’t be putting the inside on the outside now.

This is the way. I didn't understand what you were getting at earlier, but yes now I get it.

Nice bread type sandwich could still be consumed "the right way up" but the meat at the top throws everything out of order. Its not even going to taste the same. Throw it in the trash or give it to a kid.

Seeing the service beds on MP for what seems like a cheap price and not moving I think this one is gonna be dirt cheap if it doesn’t end up being sold for scrap metal.
