Those welders are many times better than new stuff once you get the hang of it. I’d suggest another full pass on every exposed seam and if it’s a stick welder drag the rod along your joint instead of pushing. Make small circles or back and forth motion to c9 plate the bead. Think 2 steps forward, one step back, repeat. They look great and this is a perfect learner’s project! Keep everything clean when you weld too, that makes all the difference in the final outcome. The old saying practice makes perfect! Thanks for the tips, It is already going better then last time. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,619 #11965 Posted June 22, 2021 So I wish I was packing up the truck to head out to the Big Show, but I am not. Instead I decided to paint the seat on the 1075. The seat I had painted cream to match the wheels. Now that I put on the new decals and the baby moons I thought the cream colored seat wasn't right. I painted it to match the decals. Chrome and black with a touch of red. Was raining out so I will post better pics later. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,644 #11968 Posted June 22, 2021 Well here we go. It was something like this. I had some bricks in the back of the truck for the new house entry. They had to be taken to the side yard for staging. I went to get a lawn tractor and cart to move them. It had a flat. So Bradley was up next. His cart had a flat. So now Hiram was the next in line. I hopped on, and fired him up to get his cart. Well this is where things went terribly wrong. I left the throttle up a bit to much. 1st gear high range. He reared up. My feet came off the stirrups. When he came down my feet hit the ground. Those big old AGs caught my pants and boots. Both feet were pulled under. All the time still moving forward, still pulling me under. I couldnt shift to neutral because I was pulled forward so far so hard my crotch my holding it in gear. My only other choice was the key switch. By this time we traveled aprrox. 15ft. When I came to a stop the only way to get my feet and legs out from under the tires and tractor was to roll the tractor back using the rear tires like a backwards wheelchair while still in gear. Needless to say the bricks are still in the truck. There was a lesson to be learned here somewhere. I do believe I will have some black and blues to remind me for a while. I hope everybody gets a chuckle for the evening from this. I did after it was all said and done. 🤦♂️ 4 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
