    That's a pretty slick way to move that box over! I'll have to remember that trick. I'll bet it was fun getting it off the trailer, I've had a few "kids don't try this at home" moments too but none quite that size yet. Thanks for sharing, Steve!

    I appreciate your video! I had a small meltdown yesterday. I'm super busy and I've been running a bunch of inner shield. Switched back to solid wire for an emergency job and had a gas issue. In frustration I switched back to inner shield to get it done. This morning in watching your video you mentioned the gun. Like an idiot I forgot to check it, and it had worked it's way out quite a bit. Gas was flowing, but not enough. Solved my problem. Thanks again!

    Man that's hot. When 96 is "cooler weather" it's too hot! 🥵🥵 Those organizer shelves will be nice, that's a great idea to put them there and utilize that space. Balancing tires at my uncle's house, he just had a bucket full of weights, so you had to dig to find what you wanted. But he had a bubble balancer so you were guessing at how much weight you needed anyway. You've got some nice equipment Steve. Be safe out there, and I hope you have a good one!

    I would almost suspect slightly loose lug nuts. Had the same thing happen to me and that was the culprit. I was able to pull over before I lost my rear dually wheel. Only one stud left holding the tires on. It would have been ugly because I was loaded with my jeep. It was on my ramp truck.

    • @firehousecustomfab3286
      @firehousecustomfab3286 18 днів тому

      I would have thought that too, but we checked the lug nuts before we left out on this trip. And they were all tight. In this setup the logs are actually pressed into the brake drum, not the backing plate. But I'm not 100% sure. I just know it was a wild ride

    Dang it man, I'm glad that wasn't worse! I can't believe it didn't hurt the spindle, that's a lucky break, even if it's the only one LOL. There actually is a "loose wheel" version of that song, I have it on an old CD somewhere that was from the Car Talk radio show. Very thankful that nobody was hurt and that you were able to get parts to get it back home again. I hope the guy pulling that auger doesn't have too far to go, the augers I've been around don't have hubs made for high speed. Usually I see people trying to tailgate them so close that the end of the auger is hanging over the top of their car. Thanks for sharing, Steve!

    Thank God you guys were safe...My opinion is that generally trailers, caravans and the like when not in use stand in one spot and on its fully weight , not jacked off the ground. The bearing race tends to go out of shape and gives way when travelling at even a slow speed ...

    • @firehousecustomfab3286
      @firehousecustomfab3286 18 днів тому

      This trailer, he usually stays in the road. But the bearings are at least 5 years old, if not longer. I'm just glad the axle wasn't trashed. You make a good point about the bearings getting out of round if the trailer sits for a while though. Thanks for the support and the comments, much appreciated

    When we used to plow everything, I did a lot of hard surfacing. Gotta find the sweet spot, hot enough to stick, cold enough to not penitrate too deep... and run smooth. Seems like 90 amps on the old buzz box was the spot. I didn't think shears for our 3 plows, as well as many sets for some neighbors. I think you did it right, I would have used the mig for the repairs. I've had much better luck with it than any rod on things like that.
