Great welding job.   Glad it is coming together for you.  Really like that chain clevis holding the bucket.

Thanks guys. I can make this stuff come out ok, but can't make sheet metal look good to save my life.

I bought the Tweco/Esab/Theremal Arc/SanRex for $650 off ebay as a backup for my xmt. Supposed to be the same specs and built with good stuff. I'm surprised they're not more common with how crazy miller has gotten with pricing in the last few years.

These adjustable slings really are the cat's ass. This one's a 9/32 chain and rated for over 7500 lbs double leg 5:1. It's a 6ft chain and is often too short. I bought a 3/8 chain x 10ft that's good for 15k, but it's awfully heavy and the hooks are too big to fit in a lot of places.
