Repairing a Borrowed Disc

[boilerman79]

A friend of mine borrowed a 6 foot disc to smooth out a piece of just cleared land.When he told me who he was borrowing it from,i new it was either already brokenor would be before he finished.Sure enough the back cross piece[angle iron] snapped intwo.So i pulled it apart with a come-a-long and veed it out ,shoved it back together and welded it up.Then started looking for other cracks,and man were there other cracks.Found 4 other cracks so ground them out and welded them up.I am sure when the guy gets his Disc back he will be grinning from ear to ear after he sees all the repairs.But he was nice enough to let us borrow it so cant complain to much.At least not until i see him.

Had to chuckle at that one.

I have bad luck with borrowed stuff breaking too. But I always send it back in as good of shape---- or better, ater I'm done. So,,,,, everybody keeps letting me borrow their stuff.

Wiger Ed,
I saw your boat, nice setup. Do you race it? If so you may know a couple of friends of mine. One drives a boat named Aint Scared and the other one drives Sweet 'n Sassy. Just curious..

Naw, I built it just for fun. The hull was poured totally full of 2lb/cuft foam. With that & the extra reinforcing for safety and longevity, its about 300 pounds too heavy to really be competitive. Plus, it'd cost a fortune for the travel and engine expenses to race.

Its sort of like having a stock Mustang or Vette. You get a taste of the thrill of driving a race car, but it really isn't one.

I hadn't heard of your buds, there are so many classes and types of boats in competition, I can't keep up with all the names.
