Then it's on to this:
This de-limber get's a complete re-wire and re-plumb. The last shop that worked on it forgot that they did it in the transport position. When the owner raised the main unit it ripped out all the wiring, and hyd hoses........

It's a mid 80's International Jack. I slid the fifth wheel back so I could strip all the cross members and airlines etc from inside the frame. I cut another steel frame 104" long, and then cut 1" out of it lengthwise. I will bolt both frame pieces into the aluminum frame, then weld the two together. Finally I'll put all the X members, air, elect, back so I can mount the loader.
You can see one of the frame pieces here:

Howdy all. Sun shining, birds singing, and spirits lifted, hope your day is good also. I had some questions about cad/cam programs if anyone is willing? I know nothing about them and would like to learn. What little I've see over someone's shoulder was amazing. All I can seem to find on the net is a foreign language. Do they have cad/cam for the terminaly dumb? And also for the terminaly broke? Jeff
