Cat 797F dump box cylinders being designed and built by Northern Michigan resident Don Campbell., originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.
Cat 797F Dump cylinders- Todays picture shows me holding the first cylinder that will be connected to the truck frame and the dump box body. Tomorrow I will build the cylinder for the other side. I got both sides of the box side frames now done and I welded in the tapers inside the box today in all the inside edges. After the cylinders and frame mounts are built and welded in place, then I can procede under the box floor cutting , bending and welding all the floor bracing. Two more 12 hour days the box should be roughed in and then i can go back to the rear frame and start working on the rear axle and suspension.
No Snow – No snow in the forecast for the next week, very strange winter with no snow. We are 50 inches behind a normal winter at this time.
Hey Deb !! What’s for supper ?? Deb made a pot of spicy chili and some blueberry muffins, yum !!
MORNING RUNNING – We are still running on the treadmill but it is not as fun as running outside. Hopefully one of these days the roads will melt and dry up so we can run outside again.
Have a great Wed. !!!!!!!!
