The Mabel Mae Project- A 1936 John Deere BO story

The welder needed me measure and dry fit the pipe before he would weld it. Did that and we need to cut about 6 inches off the pipe and align it but we will get it back to the welder for the final weld and then... we might, just might, be ready to put it all back together again 

 There is, at all times, an inverse relationship between a God forsaken impossible temperatureto do a project and the parts being available. Welding is needing to be checked before they finish the weld but...   its minus ah  hell no

Still waiting  Its hard waiting on others. Patience is the only skill that you only learn when by being deeply in the middle of it. There's only testing in it  After waiting for the welder since October I finally paid him a visit.  Turns out he was right in the middle of fixing the exhaust as system as you can see they did get some good stuff done eventually  so this shoes the part as 8A Which connects to 23 and then 23 to 21 and then 21 to 10B Shes been torn apart this whole time because the part is down at the veeerryyy bottom
