Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 331365, member: 3825"] Next up was welding the new wheel mounting plates onto the engine crane. [ATTACH=full]86282[/ATTACH] Using my fancy high tech welding positioning system. Someday I want to have a nice welding table ! [ATTACH=full]86283[/ATTACH] And its about time to invest in a new weld surface preparation tool ! [ATTACH=full]86284[/ATTACH] Another crappy Power Pro 256 weld. I don't know if I can live with this thing because when the weld isn 't up to spec, I don't have anything to blame it on. It welds beautifully. Very smooth. In real life, this weld looks like it was made with a MIG welder. [ATTACH=full]86285[/ATTACH] A new wheel mounted up. [ATTACH=full]86286[/ATTACH] The finished products. Finally. [ATTACH=full]86287[/ATTACH] The engine hoist rolls right underneath the engine stand so that there is no problem using the hoist to put the engine on the stand. The engine mount adapter has been placed on the engine stand post. It lowers the engine down 5 inches from the center of the pivot, closer to the center of the engine's mass, so its easier to rotate. They both roll real nicely, which is important to me. This little side project took a bit of time and effort, but its better than fighting with bad equipment and spending a few days injured because there was an incident. I don't do projects unless I can do them safely. A few more images.
