This little toy did the trick.  The old Williams socket now needs a bigger breaker bar.
No heat involved? Impressive. Usually end up burning/melting this nylock nuts off

Today is Earth Day. To celebrate I spent the entire day on Earth.

Just 600 lbs of monkey on a 12' pipe with the ram pinned into a steel fixture.    We have only broken the fixture twice since 2006. 

It has gone as far as lifting another tractor with a cable winch off the end of a 15' pipe. 
The bolt loosened sounding like a rifle shot as the dead weight tractor crashed down. 

Scary as hell when you have no idea what is going to give first.

You need a 1.5" drive breaker bar about 4' long and lots of heavy pipe.  Oh, a selection of sizes in sockets too.  Fatass monkeys to help just come with any shop.

Just glad it wasn't Uranus day, cause we'd all know where you'd be! :D

Well done!  :D  I almost lost my iced tea/lemonade I was drinking.

 Hung 3 doors, and put up a bunch of trim. Taught my daughters little boyfriend about crown molding.

Got pissed at my Milwaukee 2604. I dropped it off a ladder a couple months ago and it became prone to not always working when the trigger was pulled. So, In a moment of frustration, I ordered a fancy new 2804. After dinner I took the old one apart and fixed it. Wife started shaming me because now I don’t “NEED” another drill, but “need” is such a subjective term.

Funny thing though. When I offered to pull up our Amazon order history and see who had ordered how much in the past 6 months we started talking about paint colors and shit.

Playing electrical tech the last days putting head/work lamps on a Cat 426.  The marker lights and strobe dome are being finished up.  Once on the roof and spaghettied in we can do the switches in the dash.

Mostly nothing of note.
I had to clean and relube the Wright 2426 because I went to use it and realized I had dropped it in the dirt a couple times when assembling my shed.

I have still been procrastinating on putting the floor in, the floor frame kit was an easy 9 pieces that took a couple minutes to drop in.
Always lookin' to learn

I put on the right electrical tech hat it seems.  Lights front and rear, corner markers on the cab roof and a totally boring stock looking dash. 

The light was bad for picture taking but these worked.
