Frame Member Straighting
Jim swings the mighty "Bartlett"


Frame Member Straighting

Saturday, September 26, 2020 by MC

The rear frame member that supports the back edge of the cab was bent up and needed to be straightened. The easy way is to heat it red hot then to apply a little pressure. Jim took quite a bit of a swing and we were surprising how little force was actually required. I moved too much and had to be tapped back up to level.
