Another day another ally grain trailer

This hoistwell had almost completely let go from both boulsters at the same time leaving approximately a 20mm gap on the middle.
Once all the broken weld was removed we cut some plugs out of the floor to dog the bowl back to the boulsters leaving only about a 3mm gap to fill glued it all back up with that annoying bug zapper sound a pulse mig makes and it was back on the road just in time for harvest!

Couple bread shed boilys! 👨‍🍳👨‍🏭

The brain surgeons that made this bread proofing cabinet seemed to think spot welding through silicone was going to seal somehow 🙃

5+ years of calcium from the towns water and a whole lotta car bog was all that was keeping the water in these Evap tanks until it wasn't.

We pre-fabbed new ones and opted to rivet them in so the sealant could do its job.

Punched it out on a Sunday to minimise downtime so everyone had fresh bread Monday morning 🍞

Not every day is fluxcore and digger buckets!

Tidied up all the nasties on this canopy like the cracked doors and patched the 3 big holes from the original spare tire mount 😵‍💫

☀️ New racks on top to mount the awnings + solar panel
💡 New throughout
🛞 Adjustable spare tire mount

Ready to spend the rest of its life cruising around Kal looking for gold or down the beach fishing ⛏️🎣

Another one of those niggling little jobs ticked off the to do list. ✅

A few hard to reach chassis cracks on this EX2600, was nice to get onto them while the fuel tank was out for other repairs!
