Seems that I only hit this project once every 3 months or so, but here's a lil progress on the hitch for now. Cut and bent the rear plate, then drilled a total of 12 mounting holes. Then drilled and tapped 4 out of the 6 holes on the one side. Still have to weld the flat bar on the other cheek.
Just a side note, the next one won't be built by hand like this one. Going to find somebody that can CNC this stuff... just cant get the perfection and timleyness of a water jet or lazer. Keith bent the he'll out of his xmw re-pop a month ago, and he's been nagging me ever since to get this built cuz he wants one for his 2182 and 782. The other part of the deal is once I get the hitch and part of the Hydraulics done it gets to go live at his shop for a while. And since I'm tired of it being in my way it's extra motivation to get this completed.
