Brother
That is me too -- "...boy, hate to cut that 30" piece, might need it..."

 

Are you also like me where you'll grab a flat washer off a parking lot like it's a dollar bill?

 

Difference between gettin the one you need from the misc. washer box or spendin’ half the day buyin’ a full box of the same that you’ll never need.

 

Heck yes, washers cost several cents apiece!

Several years ago I purchased industrial metal bolt bins, even used they were expensive -- and worth every penny.
I'm slowly organizing away from the cans, jars and boxes of hardware, so much more efficient.

 

I’ve got bolts in boxes and don’t even know what I’ve got

 

For years I bought all kinds of supplies & hardware even though I knew had it somewhere, the time was more important than the money at that point. Now I browse through my supplies and make an effort to using what I have, saves money and makes a little space too.

If I find standard stuff in my prospecting it gets put in the bins.

 

I really need to organize mine. Time is my biggest problem.

 

Don’t know if I posted my blower winch setup.
Bent the arm a few times over the years because our winters are getting more cement.
So, we will put some lights on it in the fall when I reinstall it for winter.

 

Maybe not washers, but I’ll brake for sockets! And nuts and bolts in good shape, and I may have picked up a few broken tie down straps for the metal hooks. Like I need any of it…

 

Ok, my son patched this one together in about 4 hours, his first time doing this.

I also learned we need to set our phones to 60 frames per second and on HD video. Probably will use a 3rd camera as well on the next video.

We're still learning....

Motivation is mine...
I thought I had a big box of it around here somewhere

 

Its not that Im lazy....I just dont care...

 

I have so much that I need to do there isn't much left for the want to do stuff.

That and it seems everything I attempt becomes a multi day, stupid dollar project.

And yeah, I'm lazy...

 

The only thing I’d be wary of is if the axle mounts are boogered up from a hub that exited the axle on the highway. If you have a spool gun/tig torch, I’m sure you are good but otherwise it’ll be spendy to fix at a weld shop since it’s aluminum.

I’ve got a friend that has had 2 aluminum trailers and admits that he just should have bought steel. One was a Triton that cracked everywhere and the dealer let him buy an Alumina at cost to replace the Triton. The Alumina already had stake pockets rip off and requires abovementioned aluminum welding tools he doesn’t have.

 

Gonna knock down the brushhog windrows later when it cools down. I mounted my extra 18W Nilight floodlight on the front of the 3205. I'll take pics after dark if I remember. The pic I posted earlier was of the spotlight version on my 3240. I mounted 2 spots on the front and 1 flood on the rear of it.

 

I’d be worried about stress cracks on one myself.

 

Progress.

 

I really like progress -- just don't make much of it...
