Not much physical progress on the grader--in parts accumulation mode.
Did receive a box with the power steering gear off a Super.
Waiting on front spindles and hubs to be able to assemble the front axle frame and determine front axle height with the larger tires.
My local metal fabricator decided he didn't want to deal with retail sales due to being so busy.
Placed an order for over $500 of steel from BMG in Richmond, 75 miles away. Supposed to pick up next week. Needed a 10 foot piece of 4x6x3/16 wall rectangular tubing, had to buy the whole 24 foot piece. Same for smaller rectangular tubing. Also ordered partial sheets of 3/16 and 1/4 inch plate steel.
Got a plasma cutter a couple weeks ago. Have been playing with that.
Mocked up the general shape of the main frame with a piece of plywood. Looks pretty good. Need to replicate with the 4x6 tubing...
