Really enjoying the updates on the crusher, its really taking shape

Do you have any pictures of the jaw setup? I'm thinking to make something similar and I was wondering how to attach the jaw at the bottom?

What speed are you going to run the jaw at?

Hey joe. I use the mig to do structual things, roll cages, chassis mods.
what ever the guys need. Running high amps and a good sized wire is more forgiving on heavier structual steel.
I used to race off roaders running a turbo charged subaru engine , did pretty good but now its time to spend more time at home.
broke too many bones racing cars and bikes.
I still look at the trophies and think I could be the ledgend again, but the cold mornings remind me im not 20 years old any more.
Would rather help the young crowd and try and pass on a bit of advice.

I do love my small 3 in one tig/ plasma cutter/ stick welder awesome for most jobs, just need some more gass.

ok , colour choice for the truck, real simple.
checked cabinet for spray paint, only had black.
so truck is black.
also sprayed dump in the aluminium.
need to start fitting some exhausts ect to break up the black.
Ive sprayed most of the chrome bits in aluminium paint , and it dosent look too bad.
the steps ect that came with the truck were all corroded and needed painting, also when I make up the hydraulic oil tank that will get the aluminium to match.


fresh out of the paint shop



cheers andy

I think it looks great ! correct me if I'm wrong... Your putting this rig to work! Not trying to win a beauty contest right? Function before fashion!
Can't wait to see it hauling.

cheers , its defiantly no beauty queen, but it aint too ugly

got a bit more done due to average winter weather, sprayed the plastic chrome parts in aluminium that I will be using and fitted.
I don't know whats on the windows but nothing takes it off so may have to order some new glass.
I will make some exhausts and air filters ,I also made a start on the trailer.
cant do much more until my wheels and axel turn up,

heres a picture update







cheers andy
