So I wanted to post Thursday night but we'll.. I was quite lost with all the changes but it's raining here so I'm reexploring the sight and I think I got this lol

Thursday after work I cut off the ramps and Bryan from work showed up and we jumped in with bolth feet with cleats on. Sketchy at times but we got through it and no one lost any appendages with my genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings engine hoist floor jack 3 jack stands the Harbor Freight 1 ton jack from his Jeep Liberty and my OSHA approved firewood we managed to get it up on the stanchions I made with the suspension off

stanchions aren't welded yet and I have yet to make the brackets to bolt the compressor to the stanchions or well them on but I did figure out all the air plumbing and I got a water pump that I've got a plum in so it's closer

Now back to the truck... Well the welder on the quarter panel anyway I got it running again today. You would think I'd be ecstatic about that right? .. not so much it runs better than ever before but it's not making any power at all so I guess the board is cooked that means Monday after work I'm probably going to be shopping for a new welder. So close but yet so far...

I'm referring to the engine hoist you had on there nd the other jack you used to remove the axle from the compressor. I fully understand how it is mounted, I'm simply referring to the operation of how you acheived the goal. I'm impressed by the ingenuity.

And here I thought OSHA would have been proud. Lol. I threw caution to the wind on that one if you go back a page or so we discussed options...I didn't have any so I rolled the dice on that one if it didn't work plan B was incorporating the winch of my other trailer and some kind of tripod. I'm glad I didn't go there.

Ok after work I flew over to Airgas in my truck (it didn't like that) to finde out about financing a new Miller for my quarter panel. Came to finde that store has only been there sense April and the retail store isn't built yet lol just my luck right. But he did tell me praxair Welding Supply bought out Welco gas on Route 33 in Farmingdale and they have Miller in stock! Now I'm just wondering if my truck will make it there in time after work without getting to hot. I know this I'm probably going to finde out tomorrow
