Default Re: Great Dane excavating co.




If I would have planned ahead,,,,,,,, I wouldn't have to make simple tools like this!! Had to make an extension for drill bit and tap for holes along bed rails. Hand drilled. Haven't broken any bits or taps for a long time but most of the small ines I've broken have been from dropping them also!!! The first ring of bolts on the wheels are just for show, drilled a little under and just pressed them in. Every time I think I'm close to paint I realize another detail that would look good, feels like never ending!!



Like this hitch, have to tear the back end out to get in mill for cutting/tapping. Then thinking about small things like supports for wire to lights ect,,,, but I've learned if I don't do it now I don't do it. Still have lights for excavator laying around that I keep saying I'll get to!,,,,,,

I have done that, after thinking a few hours how on earth to reach such a spot and it took only minutes to make a simple extension.
