I use to make the buckets and attachments for Cat and other manufactures so I get where they're coming from. The big stuff is really easy to work on.

Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, cut it with an axe.
I just wish I had used hearing protection religiously during my first 10 or so years instead of listening to the oldtimers tell me "Ahh hell, you'll get used to the noise".
Which is true, you get used to screaming engines & turbines as you go deaf !

Used to drive this to all the outta town jobs loaded down with wielders and a big crew box full of tools.
No one wanted to follow me because they said I speed ed.
I told them for years to fix the speedo, they never did..
The Boss told me to take off and he'd catch up,..... He turned around 1/2 way thinking I broke down
by then I was in town and almost unloaded and having a shot of whiskey... Ah those were the days ♥♥♥
