Karl,
hows the mota' coming?

 

i finished the bends i just have to get a new arm machined out for me.

what does your final design look like fishy?

 

I know, I just have the range box already and would like a cheap way to use it....

 

Personally Id sell the range box to someone junk the back half and use the money for a front drive shaft

 

well since this was my b-day weekend, i didnt get a lot done. basically just eff'd up my bender but not before finishing the hoop. i have ~17" of straight tube to mount the ram on, only need 13 so i have 4" of margin. the driver side will weld to the cast spring perch, pass side to the axle tube, and in the middle i will use a piece of 1" plate steel in the middle to keep everything rigid. getting all the measurements and angles figured out so that i can place the ram just right is the next step. i did get my new pump mounted and will hopefully get my steering valve welded on soon so i can start thinking about hydraulic lines.

Still worried about welding it to the top of the pumpkin?

 

no not worried about that, i just dont know where my ram will place the tubing after everything is figured in.

sweetness........post pics man

 

I'm a pack rat and don't like to get rid of parts that are usable. I finally threw away my spider gears from the D44. I replaced my transmission pan after I F_ed it up, and spend two days straightening everything out and cleaning it up, and now it's sitting in the back yard.

But since the subject is up, what are Range boxes going for?

I've tried to look before, and it isn't much.

 

complete 203s dont usually go for as much as married 205s but the range box alone should be worth $75-100 since its the desireable part.

 

I don't know how much the range box weighs, but I'd say no less than 80 lbs, if not closer to 110ish. That would be fun to arange shipping.

Depending on what kind of job I get in a few weeks, I'll have time and money to work on/finish the Bronco.

$85 or so would kind of help.... anyone interested in a 203 or just the range box.

 

id liek to have it but cant come off the cash now. I know where a whole case is so i might get it for a freebie

 

yup just kidding, i'll find some for cheap/free and maybe design an adapter, if its possible, i'd sell them for cheap, i want to start a business, and if this is what people want, i'll do it.

 

hey yall i need a welder and i guy offered this one too me, i talked him down to $150 over the net already but dont know, its a mig but its one of the welder that only used flux cored wire i guess and doesnt use gas, ive heard these are harder to lay a good bead on and get a strong weld, is this true, what yall think about it i wanna start gettin some practice welding (gunna be makin tree stands and sellin them over summer for extra money) what are yalls thought on the welders that dont use gas?
