Started on my cannon today... Nah it's just an irrigation transition. I did remember to check my makings for the 6" lateral though. I love that marking tool.

Also swapped some strap winches on a hay trailer, the driver wanted the winches on the rear. I managed to salvage the hooks but had to destroy the winches to get them out of the way.

That's pretty cool. I take it you can slide the divider arm up and down the verticle rod?

Yep and the pointer rod is adjustable to "shoot" angled openings too. Big time saver.

It looks like it's easy to use a very accurate for that type of work. I once had to cut a 48" opening in a quonset hut and utilized a sliding divider type setup. Amazingly after cutting the pipe fit with less than 1/8" gap anywhere.

I've used this thing to fit a 12" pipe to a 24" pipe at 45 degrees. It's really accurate if you take the time to be careful with it.

I'm in the office with the laptop. Got no idea what to fix though.

Those boxes look familiar to me, they have a brand name? Just curious. Had a couple of Crysteel boxes on Kenworths from Portland that looked a lot like those without the high lift gates.

I think that is the same brand of box we have on the kw is... It's from down south could be just a similar design though...

Trying to beat the snow and get this pad in.... Really bad clay here

I got smart... I cant find that style of strap hook anywhere, so I traced one out and and am having the CNC plasma guy at my steel supplier make me up about 40 of them. I think these were OEM to the trailer builder, but the truckers love them compared to the ones you can get off the shelf.

I saw that hook in your earlier post and wondered about the design...

Yeah, they can hang the "D" ring in the bottom and give the strap a good jerk from the other end and it stays hooked. The "double C" types don't always hold the ring when you jerk the strap.

Maybe I should have more made and sell a few?

That's what I would have done.

At the very least have a stack on hand to sell "installed".

"installed" was the idea of 40 units. Paul says that once he enters the program it's mine for as many as I want in the future.

[Lis2323]

Take orders. Then you won't be tying up money.

Minimum order set of 40.
