So.........
Last night I put the loader on my tractor. (Getting ready for the dreaded s-word.)
It reminded me that the location of the hydraulic levers was uncomfortably low.
I decided to make extensions.
I don't have much equipment or skill for metal working, but like to tinker.
Had some rod, and cut to length with a grinder.
Needing to bend stainless 3/4in rods without a torch was the kicker.
Fire?? Too much work...
Necessity is the mother of....
This actually worked very well!
Got the rods nice and cherry red/orange hot.
Just wanted to let you all know that in fact you can use a turkey fryer for a "forge".!
Thanks!
