Another good day with the dumper!
Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:24 pmWe had a bit of a heat wave on Tuesday... 58F!!!
Spent the morning taking parts off the 44 dumper.
Got a good PTO handle and bracket, the tailgate unlatcher thingy at the front of the bed, the connecting rod and the part at the other side. It came right out with a 3lb sledge asking it nicely.
Tried to sand blast them but was way to dry.. static was making it miserable to hold the parts in the cabinet.
The cab is done.. nothing more of use will come off it. Did get some good brackets and two good side panels. Were missing the wire mesh.. but otherwise in good shape.
