I have a 95 F350 w/flatbed, I just need a machine, oxy aceteline bottles and pipe stands.......i.e. rigged out
Parent - - By rick harnish (***) Date 02-10-2009 02:43
Any prospects for accomplishing that goal? He WILL want to see a rig.
Parent - - By HillbillyWelder (**) Date 02-10-2009 02:52

Parent - By rick harnish (***) Date 02-10-2009 06:05

according to the bank i'm out of money and about to run out of time if and when we go back to brady my machine might be on a radio flyer wagon being pulled by my daughters horse
Parent - - By up-ten (***) Date 02-09-2009 18:20
So Shad if you don't mind me asking, if you started tomorrow at Brady, would the bank now seeing you have gainful employment, grant you some leeway on your truck payments?  Because I heard those radio flyer wagons need a lot of modifying.lol
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-09-2009 18:33
i'm sure they would the loan officer knows what kind of hell i been thru and tries her best to help shes working on an extention for me but it'll only be for a month if it gets approved guess i could always go into hiding
Parent - - By dion_pepperg (*) Date 02-10-2009 00:41

Parent - - By Stephen32 (*) Date 02-10-2009 15:16
Dont worry Shad. You can always borrow my El Camino!
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-10-2009 19:07
did ya ever get the spinners back from the kids up the block? and i'll have to beef up the suspension so my 200 dont flip it over i doubt insurance would cover that. do you think the hydraulics would raise the bed up high enuff for me to work out of lol
Parent - - By Stephen32 (*) Date 02-10-2009 20:48
Never got the spinners back. Them theiving little #$@#$:*& ! You wont have to beef it up. I took the dump bed off and put a regular flat bed on it. It wont dump the machine now. As far as raising it up, we might put a 18" or 24" lift kit under it. Not sure if that will be enough though. :)
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-10-2009 21:04
theres enuff material in the yard i'm sure we could figure out something can i camo it out and put a sun roof in it for head clearance
Parent - - By Stephen32 (*) Date 02-10-2009 21:55
I was thinking T Tops.
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-10-2009 22:41
good idea man that would look cool send me pics of your finished project rumor has it i'll be there in a month to pick it up bank gave me an extension on jan. payment but still gotta do feb everything is stacking up guess i need to go star t flippin burgers gettin in a power plant or a refinery is out of the question with my leg i can do the workj but am concidered a safety hazard cause i cant wear boots guess they should of just cut the damn thing off
Parent - - By dion_pepperg (*) Date 02-10-2009 22:55
it'll all work out Shad , just you wait and see
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-10-2009 22:59
waiting is gonna cost me a truck by then the neighbor kids will steal the el camino off the blocks lol. I know i'll just put my stuff on your truck and we can work together just like old times
Parent - - By Johnyutah (**) Date 02-11-2009 02:31
Shad I had some real hard times right after 9/11 called up the man and told him to come and take it all or just work with me and I will get you paid. Sat down with the banker and he let me skip payments for two months until I got back to work might be worth a try.
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-11-2009 03:01
did that after i got out of the hospital they gave me 3 months thats why i only have 2 machines left fixing to be 1 i think
Parent - - By dion_pepperg (*) Date 02-11-2009 03:15

Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-11-2009 03:19

Parent - - By snuffman (***) Date 02-22-2009 06:30
Why dont you just make one up, or go down there and get it from him in person? He said you could come get it at any time. Im sure he would probably mail it to you if you call and ask him.
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-22-2009 06:45 Edited 02-22-2009 18:01

Parent - - By johnnyh (***) Date 02-23-2009 00:53
Shad, what kind of shoes can you wear?  I have seen a bunch of low-top steel toes and even sneaker with steel toes.  I know most plants want a defined heel but but they make those in low-tops also.
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 02-23-2009 02:06
i'm wearing the 3/4 top reboks now and they even rub but still give me a lil support i need a low cut i had some but have to keep laces on left foot loose for the swelling and went to lift the shoot on the lawnmower and well it got shredded lmao the low cuts dont rub if i dont have to go into a plant i dont need steel toes with cactus i can wear whatever pretty much i've been looking on line and have been thinking about the dr martins but i dont know everybody i talk to says they are very comfy i'll jus have to go to San Antone when i get some money and try some on i guess
Parent - By pipelinetrash23 (**) Date 04-08-2009 03:51
Hey shad i know this post is old but thought i would put my two cents down. doc. Martins are really comfy and not too expensive i think maybe $100  or so but that might be pretty expensive for some i have seen a low top steel toe before at cavenders i think anyways thats my two cents
Parent - - By Metarinka (****) Date 02-23-2009 03:49
what part of michigan you from? I recognize the 734 area code (Ann Arbor myself)
Parent - By vantage500man (**) Date 02-23-2009 12:37
plymouth area born and bread
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 02-22-2009 20:40
Well I told you to come get it anytime when we were at the yard. Now it looks like you will have to wait till we get back. Or I live just north of Canton Texas. You can come here if you want. Or are you in the Bermudas now or where ever it was you were going to make your fortune ?
Parent - - By Smooth Operator (***) Date 02-22-2009 23:16
Cactus,   Be careful pyplynr/tigman gets easily upset, last time I said something to him he went on a week long diatribe about being a "yank", not knowing how to weld, and aquising me of driving a beater and living in a slum in New Jersey. Last I heard he was welding on the space shuttle for NASA, probably with sourdough. Hope your getting "rested up" before your next round at BRADY.    PS.   GO STEELERS AND PENS
Parent - - By pypLynr (***) Date 02-22-2009 23:38
Well Smooooth operatoooor , any time your no-spellin' yank a$$ is in the good ole state of TEXAS ... look me up !!!!!!!
Parent - - By pypLynr (***) Date 02-22-2009 23:42
ACTUALLY ... YOU ALL CAN KISS MY A$$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'M OUT OF HERE !
Parent - By Kevin Bolding (*) Date 02-23-2009 00:44

Parent - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 02-23-2009 00:55
