My old Honda 4 wheeler had the run of the mill, too low, ball mount for a hitch. Decided to make a new receiver hitch for it to get the ball up to a level height for my trailer. All TIG welded, needed practice and the MIG is out of gas lol
Receiver tube and upper mount
Lower mount/bracket/support
painted and installed
stinger in
The lower thing under the ball mount is a swing out hitch for my ice house provides full articulation side to side and up/down
Fun little fab/weld project that cost a whole stick of 3/32 ER70 rod and 4 new mounting bolts. I like $3.00 projects
What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?
