Had some scrap ends of 12 gauge square tube (2" ID) left from the equipment shed install, so I thought I'd do something with some of it. Picked up a couple of cat 1 lift arm pins & made a trailer mover. (My first attempt at stick welding, using an old Lincoln AC-225 I picked up) Consists of 4 pieces of tube & 2 short pieces of 1/4" flat I found a while back.
The tubing is what is used by Carolina Carports when you specify 12 gauge (rather than 14 gauge) for the framing of a metal building.
Had to relieve the back side of the tube to accommodate the top link end profile.
Gave it a first try out on the 1025R moving this around (load of rock salvaged from an old fish pond water feature) to get it out of the driveway until we have a place to unload it. So far so good.
A lot easier to maneuver with the 1025R than a crew-cab F-150...
