Continuing on.

All six pieces cut, deburred and ready for a mock up on the fixture before welding.

Pieces wiped with acetone and ready to be fixtured for the welding process.

Small TIG weld on the small end.

Clamp removed and now the large end ready for welding.

The two blocks cooled and filed to slightly metal finish the blocks and blend the welds. This is how they will sit together and form the hinge/pivot assembly. Two down two to go. I wanted to try out the process on one side before making all the pieces to ensure I wasn't wasting any more time.

Chair repairs completed with four blocks machined/fabricated and the chair functions as it should.

Completed and ready to strap down in the back of the Jeep on top of the toolbox.

Although the actual repair was relatively easy, I had a hard time coming up with a plan on how to duplicate the pivot block. All in all the total time spent on this was about 4 hours and nearly half of that time was spent devising and machining a fixture to ensure all of the blocks would be identical.

Talk about stepping over dollars to save dimes. :rofl:

Thanks for looking.

As always, amazing work. @zmotorsports I have a project for you when you feel up to it. It has to do with my Rzr Pro R4 and the mounting of some things on the roll bar. Let me know when you get some time.

That's the kind of dollars over dimes that is so enjoyable to perform. 😎

Thanks Jeremy and Russ. I appreciate the comments.

Russ, it may be a while as I have a list as long as my arm of projects that I have promised out prior to spring. I hope to be chopping away at that list once I get just a couple more personal projects completed.

Thanks

I changed tires and clutch oil in both my bike and my daughters bike. I used to think changing tires with a mousse bib was hard, but I had no idea what hell I was in for.

That little 14” tire absolutely SUCKs to do by hand! After doing her tires mine seemed like a breeze 😂

No pictures, but I was covered head to toe in old black lube. I made sure to puff up my chest and strut around like a peacock, that way all the dads in the neighborhood knew I did something legendary. If you’ve done one, you know what I’m talking about

I've done a few and I do in fact know what you are talking about. Mini bikes just bring the suck, until your mini is ripping them, then it's all worth it.

No photos because it's nothing cool.

Changed the oil in the wife's Santa Fe Sport. How was the oil light not on. It's been approx 5500 miles since the last one and I swear there was only about 2 quarts that drained. The 2.4L takes 5.3quarts to be full. 😲

It also only has 55k miles so I am pretty surprised and will keep a much closer eye on it.

Spent the last few nights getting my bike ready to sell.

I replaced all fluids, engine, transmission and primary as well as hydraulic clutch and brake fluids. Removed all of the saddlebags and detailed the chassis as well as a detailing of the immaculate paint work. This should make someone a nice bike and hope whoever buys it will enjoy it.

I love this picture of the bike on the Handy lift with the toolbox and signage in the background.

After completing the full-service and detail I took it for one last ride. Not sure it that was a good idea or not because then I started waffling on my decision. :thinking:

Overall it was a good couple of nights in the shop.

This stopped working years ago, but it’s the only 4wheeling I can afford. They stopped making the battery for it but I found one for couple bucks on Amazon. Threw it in went to wheel on wife’s new water feature and remembered why it was parked. Drive train just spun internally under load. Discovered gear on motor was stripped. Tried gorilla glue, no dice, trying epoxy now. That doesn’t work I think I found a new motor I can throw in. All the gears I’ve found seem to have to big of internal diameter

Looks like a Losi Mini 1:18th scale (maybe micro 1:24th?) I had a handful of those, they were fun for sure. If you ever decide to just get rid of it, I will take it for old time sake.
