Mrs.Thumbcocker and I were assembling our new log splitter. The person who wrote the instructions had a real sense of humor.
Once the wheels and tongue are assembled one is supposed to "stand the beam into the vertical position " then you just push tha wheel assembly over and bolt it on.
We are talking about 4.5 inch cylinder on a steel I beam with other steel hardware mounted on in. I tried to lift it . Not happening. So Hank volunteered to help.
Hank is a 1965 Ford 4000. He is pretty agreeable and usually willing to help. Since I put an electronic ignition module in him he starts right up. Hank does have one issue. He has a drinking problem. He dearly loves 93 octane. About 2 gallons an hour. Still I am willing to overlook a character defect in a willing worker who pulls his weight.
With Hank helping getting the beam on the carrier was no problem. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210412/c938d2fa17f7b185da542072b2812fbe.jpg
