good fix :D

I think you told us before what that Keyhole shaped metal was from on Sparky's truck but i forget. :oops:

Could you remind me? :D

My dad's brother, who passed away in 1999, had acquired quite a bit of leftover iron from the old Crockett Bit and Spur factory when it was located in Boulder, Colorado. Sparky wound up with some of this iron, and he used it to make the rack for his pickup. The keyholes have no useful purpose; it is just that bit parts were stamped from this metal and what is left was rather decorative.

Sparky said that the keyhole design does serve a useful function. He can tie stuff on top of the truck, and the top slits hold a chain. He can hang coyotes and traps and other stuff on the bottom of the rack, and the bottom row with the slots underneath can also hold a chain. It works fine, he says.

it only broke because you were using it on they day of rest :shock: :D

It was fixed on the "day of rest" so Sparky wouldn't have to be away from his shop on a working day. It was broke the day before. :-)

It's nice to have a welder in the family.

You have that right. :wink:

Soap, how do you like your Kosch new design? I have heard good and bad, Brent.

We like this mower which is run by the PTO. We had a Kosch hydraulic mower that wasn't much of an outfit, but I'd give "thumbs up" to the PTO Kosch double bar mower.
