Another dirty dog in the shop

Welded together? Never saw one like that before. Even splashed some paint on the welds.

It looks like the trunion has very little wear...

All very good points. It is what it is, now it's my problem I guess.
Fixed the battery tray this am. Just cut out the boogered up part, and replaced with some "new" metal, drilled a couple holes, good as new.

Happened to find a few more PO welding mods done to the frame.
Got the Bota out for a lift today. Pressure washed the pig, at least I got the first layer off. Was a balmy 50* today, but not so warm playing in the water.

Todd, maybe there was a loader on that frame at one time?

I think you need to give this one a name, Piglet maybe? Actually I think they are all that dirty, except for the ones that got left outdoors for a LOOOONG time.
50 deg and snow on the ground. Hmmm, It was in the 70's here and dry as a bone. Dad harrowed some corn stalks for me this afternoon and he was kicking up dust. Supposed to be in the 70's all week. Guess that means all the fruit trees will jump the gun and get bit with a late March frost.

Hard to tell Lew, but now I'll be able to see what the inside of the frame looks like now that it's clean enough to get the rear end out...
And what is the "next project"

"Piglet" would be a kind word, I was thinking more on the line of, starts with piece of ....!
Oh it'll be awhile before we be turning any soil around here. We'll get hammered with more white stuff before the soil turning happens.

I am always impressed with your work ethic. That one looks like it want's to fight you to the bitter end.
