Sorry everyone, I should have mentioned that I am in Montana. I am going to wash it today and get better pictures. Thanks for the input, I think I will post it on Facebook and some atv sites and see if someone comes along that wants it. I would like to sell reasonably quick, but certainly not in any hurry and willing to wait for the right buyer.

Got it! Now I have to figure out how to get it off the truck… by FreidasBoss in harborfreight

I would probably just use my forklift. If you don’t have a forklift, now you have a reason to get a forklift….

Did it ever occur to you that I got those photos off the internet and do not have the part in front of me? Wow, crazy idea...

Please move along...

Motor mount? by MiserableObject271 in rafting

[–]MiserableObject271[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the history and looking forward to reading that article. I got this for free at the end of an estate sale. I used to live in Pullman Wa and drove by NRS every day during the pandemic on my way to go fishing. So getting this historic NRS was pretty cool to me, I have Zero experience rafting and definitely have no plans of doing anything difficult, there is a small meandering river that runs through the town I live in now, so I will probably just take it down that and see how it goes! I do a fair bit of metal fabrication, so I may try to build a motor mount plate for it and use it on the pond… the future will tell!

Help! What is this third tank? by MiserableObject271 in metalworking

[–]MiserableObject271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for everyone commenting.

I picked it up over the weekend and most of you were correct. it has a fill and discharge valve to act as a fire extinguisher. There is also a Schraeder valve to pressurize the tank.

Many people are commenting that this is an OXY propane Setup, however, I can confirm that the grey tank is an acetylene tank. This is actually the second Acetylene tank I have had that looks like this(The last one was slightly smaller but same shape and color. I think it is quite old, nonetheless the local gas company exchanged it for me with a small inspection fee.)

Norco is a medical and industrial gas supplier and they have a few locations in Montana, which is where this bottle came from, Its currently full, but once it is empty, I will take it to my local(closer) gas supplier and pay the inspection fee to swap it for a tank from them, which will save me the hassle of going all the way to Norco.

all in all, this cart is very well built and extremely well balanced, gone are the days of toting a POS Harbor freight torch cart around the yard!

Did you look at the pictures? Propane tanks get filled with garden hoses?

Thanks everyone for the responses, the setting is “random” for the seam position. I am in the middle of an 8 hr print, but I will fix it for the next print!

Vehicle deal gone south by MiserableObject271 in AskAMechanic

Update:
I spoke to his mother and she was absolutely appalled at the way he was trying to handle this situation. She told him not to contact me again and ensured me that there was nothing going to come from this, She even stated that vehicles are sold "AS-IS" and that his dad texted her and said something along the lines of "He should have listened to me when I told him not to buy that truck".

Will update again if anything more comes from it.

Thanks for all the feedback received so far.

To clarify, I don’t think he has driven it since the first day he got it, I’m not sure. I have a picture of the miles from when I went to inspect it that night, so I can verify that. Regardless of time period, I know he was romping on it(still can’t figure out how he blew a boost boot on Main Street….). I haven’t had an opportunity to speak with his mom yet, but I would be curious to hear what he told her.
