    Well geez, if that didn't melt our 14 inches of snow in a day. At least we didn't get any water in the basement. Hopefully it will all freeze up good for a while again... no mud for me!!!

    Having worked at the same Machine shop for 26 yrs I’d have brought that shit to work and asked for help.
    I’m a decent machinist but definitely not a welder.

    I don't have anywhere to go any more for "free" help (or bolts :anonymous: lol), so I figured I'd try hacking on my own as it comes along. Nothing on the ATV itself broke yet, but that's coming soon too I'm sure. Eh, it's fun / something to tinker...

    Structural / technical on the truck? I'd seek professional help. My ATV / plow - I beat the snot out of that more than anything else in my life as our driveway is rough. I'll keep fixing it until I break it heehee

    "The beatings (welding) will continue until morale (structural integrity) improves..." :curls:

    ... and we're getting 3-6 tonight too. Which is good, that inch or so down right now doesn't give any good insulation at the moment.
    Probably moving in onto you right about now down your way.
    I'll see how my welds hold up lol :bikewhoops:
