Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
I agree Dan!
Working on the little Hayes HD again from now until the show next weekend. I made up the smaller "hydraulic" tank today and then worked with brass sheet for the very first time to make up the mounting brackets and straps for both tanks. Soldering .030 brass is much easier than TIG welding aluminum for these tiny brackets that's for sure. I tried out my mini butane torch for the first time today as well so that was entertaining. I think I know why it was on sale for $7 at Princess Auto but it does the job.lol I also finally got the air cleaner mounted. Next up will be steps, air tanks and a few other details on the cab/hood like mirrors and handles. Just when I think the "to do" list is getting shorter I realize that there is SO much more to do.lol
