Nothing going on in the garden. Been chipping away at my shop projects. Finished up with Pops tractor and got it out of the way. He's happy to have it back and I'm happy to see it gone. lol
This is what the tank looked like before it was painted and installed in the tractor.
We brought the box blade in for a hitch replacement. It got wadded up when I had a Lamont moment while I was cleaning out the pond.
Got it mostly finished yesterday. Just need to flip it over and weld a couple beads on the bottom side of the new parts, and then slap on some fresh Rustoleum. To replace the hitch with factory parts was going to cost around $275. I spent less than $75 on materials and supplies to rebuild from scratch, and now have a hitch that's much stronger than the original.
Nice job, Augie! Great skill set you have there. ;)
