Default Re: Great Dane excavating co.

Yes I'm really happy with them, after the third one I knew how much heat and where to apply. Then they started becoming easy and looking well!! Now if I could get my welding better!!! I had some stay-bright from Harris welding that I used to hard solder the little brass rings to frame, that stuff works great and didn't need too much heat. I made a 1/8" aluminum shaft to align them and rubbed a tiny bit of oil on the alum as a contaminant to help the solder not stick to shaft for assembly. Have to go to Wally-world and when I get back I'll try and post some more pics of progress. I have been soldering the wheel well parts instead of tacking, I think for the strength the frame will bend before any welds break. Everything is a learning curve .
