Howdiy's halfassed 4 link
- Thread starter howdiy
- Start date
I guess I'm just kind of pissed because they said they do next day shipping now, and I also called it in and specified USPS flat rate. So I expected it would be here 3-4 days after I ordered so I've planning on my making my lower links for a week and a half now lol.

do you have a tracking number for it? i would assume no since you havent gotten it yet. but might could try to get one
I'm not too worried now, this next 7 days is the end of the semester anyways so I won't have time. Hopefully it gets here by this time next week.
Bent some 5/8's steel today
I'll do the other this weekend probably
Cutting it will be interesting
The idea is something like this but I want a little more room so I can weld both sides.
I think I'll make the part that connects to the pinion out of some 1/4 or 5/16.

might be a good idea to give those a nice little bevel cut on both sides being it's so thick... maybe a double pass down each side too... tho I forget what machine you have...
I'm using a snap on muscle mig that plugs into 220, not sure of the exact model. It welded the 3/8" tabs on my front hydro assist pretty easily.
I was thinking about doing the bevel though just didn't do it yet. I also need to weld the axle tubes to the housing. That seems to be somewhat interesting. I'll just preheat it a bit and weld it, should be good enough

thats all i planned on... take a rosebud to it, turn the machine all the way up and go...
. Had to order another today.
not going to notch the tubing for the joints?
ahh, ok. Hows the truss coming? You gonna tie it into the pinion housing like the BTF one?

More PICS!!!!!
I toned down the picture taking
I'll start taking more now
Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to tie it into the pinion

The 3/4 bit I got from fastenall worked pretty well in my 50 dollar drill press.
I got an np205 with a fixed rear yoke for free today also. I just need to get the th400 adapter.
Tomorrow all the crap in the rear comes out

Btw a word of advice from previous experience. Never try to drill a hole by hand over 1/2in without taking 1/8 or better yet 1/16th in steps at a time. I've broken, twisted, and destroyed, 10 odd 5/8ths and 3/4 drill bits like that...
