    When I worked for a living driving truck or welding out in the field with my old Lincoln SA-200, I would lay a can of Stagg chili beans onto the exhaust manifold a half hour before lunch time to have a hot lunch. You get weired looks from your co workers when your miles from civilization and they smell steak cooking.and their eating tuna sandwiches..

    How To Cook Food on Your Car Engine
    LOL we did this a few years back on a road trip to washington state. We had 3 cars inthe caravan and we each put steak and taters on the manifold. We pulled into a rest stop to eat poped the hoods and you should have seen the looks on peoples faces when we sat at the picnic tables eating like kings

    Guys and Gals last week I sold all the aluminum I had laying about from this yard, then today had to go over to the other house which we just sold to clear out some of my junk when I came across an aluminum manifold and a water jacket from an old Case diesel engine.

    Combined I'm guessing they weigh no more than 30 lbs, before I pull the pin of you guys I;m going to show you all how to turn that 30 lbs into $300.00, I figure my foundry sand is good for a couple more runs and I have 30% propane fuel left in my big tank and one small silicon carbide crucible left to use.

    You'll have to give me a couple of weeks, right now I'm busy with my platinum blacks washing out excess zinc.

    Patterns, well I'll be the fist to state what I know you could stuff in a thimble. But you need a pattern to cast right so here's how you go about getting that pattern buy if off of ebay.

    I cast fishing weight molds, and there's a reason why. I takes money to be able to deep sea fish so this is the market I targeted. Bought my first mold off of ebay then modified it by sanding out the rough spots and parting lines then giving it some draft 3% is all you need to be able to release the pattern from the sand.

    Somewhere on the pattern drill a 1/4" hole then thread if, after the pattern has been compacted into the sand you screw in a rod into that 1/4" hole which you can gently tap on all sides then lift the pattern out of the sand leaving a perfect imprint of the copy behind. Any small bits of sand that fall into the cavity can be gently blown out using a drinking straw.

    I'll do a complete picture expose from start to finish, it would be nice if admin would allot some space for those pictures relieving me of the responsibility of baby sitting them for the rest of my life. Previously a folder in photobucket was deleted which had pictures and mov files related to scrapping all were lost.

    Just saying as I think it in the memberships best interests to preserve the forums content, as this will be my last contribution to the forum before I go photography full time. I'm tired of telling stories reliving the past when a whole new world awaits me to discover.

    I may have commented that my bank account was sitting with $7.00 in checking after I had the truck safetied, here's how it went afer.

    1. Paid off credit card used to pay remainder of insurance then plated my Dodge.
    2. Bought that crappy trailer from Jack, had $500.00 into it before returning it to Jack.
    3. Little Dipper Loader, had radiator repaired.
    4. John Deere riding mower.
    5. 8 x 10 wide format camera.
    6. 4 x 5 wide format camera.
    7. Mega Vision digital scan back for the 4 x 5 camera.
    8. Sony A900 24 mega pixel digital
    9. HP Z3200PS wide format 44 inch printer.
    10.Milwaukee Sawzall
    11.Milwaukee Angle Grinder.
    12.A pair of HP Workstations

    Spent thousands of dollars in fuel, the only repair to the crane truck was a water pump.

    Wandering the county side in search of old ion and found more than I bargained for, the tuck resides in a very small building which was also very dark. No flash on the camera so these are all lengthly hand held time exposures. A bit shaky to say the least but you can certainly tell its an old Model T truck.

    I'll be searching out the land owner to make an offer on this tuck in the near future.

    Thanks miked, just fleabay fees.

    Also got two suit cases full of old children's books from the 1930's, plus some sterling silver and an old ignition system from a 1928 Chevy.

    The sterling was a first for me, most of the old stuff the homesteaders had was silver plate, so I'm rather pleased with this find.

    On the ignition system you will note that the hot lead is encased inside a secure wire coil which attached firmly to the firewall, this was supposed to deter theft of your automobile while you were in the pub boozing it up.

    The more I got thinking about that old Model T truck they must have driven it into the garage, it would be impossible to tow with that worm gear differential.

    Still have the crane truck and been taking in loads now and then, this is funny as last year I started out with a home built tandem car trailer which I still have but find it has its short comings when I need to haul my Little Dipper loader. The loader weighs 8800 lbs, you all may recall the landfill site on the Res.

    Jack is history to may games. I've been going to a new yard, checked their scale against the highways scale and they give honest weights, no more weighing myself in though have to keep bankers hours. Anyhow while I was at the yard today spotted a really nice set of Torkflex axles yup all three of them with good 10 ply tires, electric brakes on all.

    These are 7,000 lb axles that I bought for $250.00, soooo it looks like we're going to build another trailer with a GVW of 21,000 lbs. This is a much bigger payload than what the crane truck can legally haul. once this baby's finished I'll have no problems moving the loader onto a job site.

    I've pretty much hauled in every scrap car and truck within a 75 mile radius from home and the pickens are getting slim so its time to regroup - go trailer.

    Figure on going for a goose neck trailer this round, I'm going to snarf the hydraulic winch from the crane truck before it's sold with plans to mount the winch onto the new trailer with a hydraulic power pack run off a small gasoline engine.

    Oh, ya not to forget i have an account that produces 10 to 15 tons of plasma table waste every three months, after me and the crane truck part company I'm going to park the small car trailer at this accounts place of business for them to fill.

    I'll miss the crane truck but not the fuel bills.

    The whole thing is much more complex than what I'm publishing, for starters I'm paying $1.24 Canadian a liter for diesel which equates to $5.58 a gallon. The crane truck hauls a decent load but the cost of my fuel is taking a big bite out of pocket.

    From the last safety inspection I already know the front brake drums and shoes will not pass this next time around , drums are an oddball size most drums would cost around $100.00 or less these are $600.00 each then you have to buy the shoes and service kit.

    On my next birthday I'll be 63, I'm required to do a medical which would hold me until my 65th B-day then it would be a yearly thereafter.

    So I have decided to surrender my class 1 air, sell the crane truck with expensive maintenance and parts and poor fuel mileage to pull a trailer which for me is more convenient being able to move my loader around.

    I still have the white metal pile on the Reserve to clean up which is a job for the loader and a trailer with plenty of deck space. Dodge diesel is much more economical to drive and has lots of jam, I've got the 2nd gen Cummings.

    The Gods are working in my favor, found the frame rails needed to build my trailer sitting right here in my yard. Just have to remove the body from that old school bus then I'll have 2 x 35 ft 2 3/8" x 8 1/2" rails.

    Now to find a piece of solid shaft to turn the king pin for the goose neck pin, and to think that I wanted to sell my metal lathe.

    I figure the way this project is shaping up that it wont cost more than $1500.00 to build a trailer with 30 ft of usable deck.
