You just crushed all of my self-esteem built up over a few welding repair projects I've done in the last few months.
Seriously this is cool, thanks for posting.

Wow, that is great!

Thanks, and you're welcome. Fortunately, I'm too stupid to know "you can't do that!" and just forge ahead with an idea. What you don't see are the many projects that turned out to be total, abject failures. I just file those under "Well, that didn't work".

I'm particularly fond of this one. Several people told me "You can't do that, you'll bend the rams on the loader and you won't be able to steer".
Well, they were half right, you can't steer, but I knew that going in. Get lined up, lower the roller until the front end is off the ground so all the weight of the tractor is on the roller and then back up. Works GREAT with that restriction.

I have about a 30% fail rate on my inventions. And I always figured I didn;t care much how it looked, long as it worked.
