Ron, looking good. How come you have No BEER BELLY.

Thanks Bob.

Thanks Bob.

A rainy Holiday and Tucker's picture's of his winch, inspired me to dig out my stuff.

I found a PTO shifter in my pile of parts, that I didn't even know I had. Not sure what it came out of, but it bolted up to the H55 and works great. It has a button lock on top, pretty neat.

Everything will have to be rebuilt, but shouldn't be too bad of a job.

Bolted on the frame extentions, just for fun.

Picture of the elusive pillow block support bracket.

More work to do! Needs to be done, before I put the body back on.

Ron, you are one HELL of a Craftsman. You are doing a Fantastic job. Cant wait for the end result it will be awesome No doubt.

Thanks Bob.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Thanks Bob, for the support. It's going to be a while, I worry about just getting it done, not so much when.

 

[bobm]

Ron, you will GIT "R' DONE. Dont worry about it.

Thanks Bob.

The winch will have to wait for now. My bushings for the rear sway bar came in, so I welded them up and have to drop the fuel tank another time.

I bought a set of extended links from SOR and before I could make some mounts, the link fell apart. No weld penetration. I made my own, alittle stronger anyway. I think they will work .

Not that a life at the brewery isn't something to be proud of, but I think you might have missed your calling.

Travis,

That's something, I didn't have a big say in. I'm third generation Beer Bottler, on both sides of my family. Grandparents, Mother and Dad. My Son was the fourth gen. Such is life!

alittle stronger anyway

stronger is better...we have land cruisers, not jeeps

Nothing real exciting, just the sway bar mount welded in.

There's so many things, you don't think of, that come back and bite you. Between the tank, swaybar, shocks, etc. I thought I was done with the frame three times now. I need to get this done and move on to the winch.

I truly admire the guys that can juggle all the different areas of a build and make it look so easy, it hurts my head.

 

[bobm]

Ron, they may make it look easy. That doesnt mean that it was. Keep up the good work. You are doing a Great job That PIG is going to be awesome.

Thanks Bob.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Reminder to self : When it snows again, don't go sled riding!
