Look what followed me home

[Hummingbird]

A guy I've known for 20 plus years used to have his own welding truck, even had a DC stick welder on a medium sized riding mower and using the gasoline motor to drive the tractor as well as his welder.

Needless to say he got a LOT of house calls for items that could not be moved or had limited access.

Also, he has MS and is confined to an electric driven mobile unit. He has several of them, all for different uses.

He had to retire his truck long ago because of the MS but his welding has not suffered at all - witness his handy work in the attached pictures. A total aluminum trailer custom made for my trike.

Of course the axle and hitch are steel but -

Great looking trailer - beautiful welds. You'll enjoy this trailer for many years to come.

Very nice trailer you have there Dick. I like that the front will give your bike protection.

6' x 10' inside and the axle is dropped enough that you can hardly notice the grade going up the ramp.

total weight 800lbs

had to buy a 5 1/2" drop receiver so the trailer would sit level

[Yammer Dan]

Excursion?? Is that a Hardley thing???

Would that be safe? I hear you have problems with simple kitchen utensils.

With all the metal in my leg and my new welder things could get interesting...

[Flyinfool]

OH NO!!!!

 

There are so many ways to inflict bodily damage with a welder........

Can your new welder weld Titanium?

[Monty]

What is this "trailer" thing you speak of? Are you buying a Harley?

Very nice Dick, new trike, new truck, and now a new trailer. Things must be good. Wish I had a trailer like that for my trike.
