This pic is 3inch by 3/8 thick flat bar, used to cap the ends of the tubing.

Capping the ends of the tubing.
1/16 wall tubing, to 3/8 flat bar.
1/8 8010 @ 70amps.
Then I'll weld the little "pad-eye-hooks" to the cap plate.

Fits like a glove.
The shelf in the tubing is for the plywood, when I get the other one in.
This box is 20ft.
I have 3 other 40ft ones to do, little bit different....
These connex's are full of engine parts ETC!!!!!
It is begging for shelves, lots of wasted space.
Gonna be taking a while, its a part time job, I work on it when I have time.

Unusual to have 4wd - is that a conversion or a factory fit by whoever built the loader - not seen one quite like it - " Roadless " amongst others sold a 4wd kit here - fairly rare now as most were exported to " bongo" land many years ago - they fetch good money now if you can find one & a clean 5000 or 7000 makes silly money - first tractor I drove regularly was a super Major - real luxury with electric start after the petrol / TVO high major ( E27N )

Sounds like you need access to a valve grinder and seat grinder.

That's no problem....
In your opinion, should a guy go through and grind all the valves???
This one valve, we beat it down and pried it back up for a while, so it moves freely.
Was thinking of topping her of with atf, running it for 20mins, than drain it, and then 15-40....
Since you sound like an engine man, whats your take on it???
Man!!! hi-jacking my own thread....

John- If it were me the next step is pull the head. The cylinder you found the collapsed spring in probable has a piston top that looks like you took a chipping hammer to it. (if it even still has a top) Check (mic) the crank and plastic-gauge the bearing on the rod too. Check the wrist pin. This kind if thing can do a lot of damage you can't see with your naked eye my friend.
Go break something, then you can weld it back the
right way.

Well that would be proper. But I your case I bet there isn't much for engine shops around. And the guys that use this porbebly don't use it every day?
