Farm and Fleet sells them

. Or do I see a dead head back north and a long day at Cosgo's?

Fire rocks!

Finally got things going today, never have used one before.
This one is way overkill, but working good now. Lot of holes cut, they don't look all that pretty, but am going to cover the deck with anti skid stuff later this year so should all work out.

That power meter in the shop that I am in had to have been spinning at a pretty good clip this afternoon.

And where are the pics of the sparks a flying?

No photographic proof, they left after I got to going...may have been a bit worried.

I was blacker than the trailer though after the day. First time always takes longer than expected, but thinking if someone had a pattern set up for a wedge deck that you could crank out two a day in terms of cutting deck holes for wheel lashings if ya were to push it.

Have two hours left, couldn't find the guy who owns the shop so could not get in there until tomorrow. He has irons in alot of fires & that is his truck I posted up in the for sale section.

Yep, got two trailers now!

Finished cutting holes this morning, but going to have to drill the diamond tread over the wheels. Wasn't brave enough to start hacking near air lines, air bags & 8 tires. I slid some sheet metal in there & chickened out at the last minute.

Got one air line Sunday night from 10' away, which was the only casualty. Better than a hydraulic line, ya know it would have been the main feed line that is 30' long...

More Fire Tools:

Was going through Craigslist & found a link to Miller Welders. Check the video on the lower left w/Stacey David comparing different models. http://www.millerwelds.com/products/...llermatic_252/

These things have changed a lot over the years. Too poor to own one though.
