Beadrollers I think they are all pretty-much the same. They are built CHEAP so I just expect to make some "improvements" when i do buy any equipment that's "Cheap"! The WHEEL instead of the crank is a definite improvement, especially if you work by yourself. The Tensioner needed...

Usn 60-65

Hot 50s motor The 50 OLDSMOBILE and it's hydro tranny pushed/pulled some pretty cool wheels back then. It sure fooled a lot of people too ! :)

125 I'd replace the BREAKER to start with........ They do get old and weak and won't last forever!! Loose connections (inside the breaker box) cause heat too & that's not good.

I think I'd determine what my ride-height I wanted for the frame, then install a couple pieces of steel to hold the frame up off of the axle at that height, tack them in place. Then center the spring on the axle and determine where the spring shackles are going to be mounted onto the...

Age WOW ! I'm just about "off-the-chart"! I'll be 71 the end of of March...................

You can probably do it that way, but keep on looking for a 12v model, they come in all sizes and shapes. All you need is one that fits in the space available, the rest is just mounting it.

That type of truck is getting hard to find in my area, so if you're really serious about having one, that one doesn't look like it would be too hard to get started on. Glass looks decent, sheet metal looks kinda crappy but it's mostly paint etc. A bunch of TLC and you can be...

Oxy-Gas WELDING I am no "expert" on the subject but I was into a project a couple years ago where I was building 2 x 2 square tubing, after other parts were assembled onto one side of the tube. I was using my Oxy-Accetline (?) gas, WITH NO FILLER MATERIAL, and welded the two pieces together...

CONGRATULATIONS Don.... I've always enjoyed your work and comments on what-ever it might be that you're building or built some time in the past. Hope you continue as much as possible. I "retired" from my regular job (after 34 years) and that was in 1998. I went back to work a week later with a...

DOGPATCH...... By all means, PLEASE CONTINUE your building. You're doing an amazing job with both units. We'll be watching, anxiously, for more............. THANKS

CONGRATS, Twins = WOW ! That is exciting, especially at the 2 a.m. feedings ! Our Twin Girls turned 46 just before Christmas, & they are our "babys"....... (Somebody is getting O-L-D !!!!!!!!!! )

Progress........ WOW DP1, You're doing an excellent job on your "bucket"! How neat, so say the least! And your Teardrop" just blows-my-mind ! It's more than fun, just reading/looking at your builds. Excellent info ------ THANKS :) I'm anxious for more ...... [cl.......

The lines look great, but if you put a soft/stretchy top on it, you might need to add horizontal bracing across the back/top corner to keep from pulling the very outside braces in. I'm anxious to see the finished product.

3.09 here yesterday.........

It sure should be possible..... They put together regular vehicles for handicapped people all the time and they do EVERYTHING with hand controls.

CONGRATULATIONS BOB and Welcome back ! Just take your time and you'll get along with your build OK, despite the Honey-do Lists. I had "ticker trouble" too but that was 30 years ago now and I'm still going, slow but strong........... Hang in there and Good Luck Merry Christmas & Happpppy New...

I'm no expert welder but I've put together a lot of 2-wheeled trailers, carts and a lot of other stuff over the years and I used a "Farmers Special" Stick Welder for all of them. I started with and stayed with the rods in what I call the "6000 series" of rods. There a lot more different types...

I'm no expert, by any means but that 'DIAGONAL BAR" that you're showing isn't going to serve as a PANARD BAR though. You need to hook it from one side on the axle assembly up to the opposite side ON THE FRAME, so it can hold BOTH of the assemblys in the same plane as they move up and down. I...

VERY NICE ! Your Dad would be Proud :)
