Thanks bud. Back in the day I ran a tree business with a couple of these gals. Amazing to see the things they can do. This is a smaller version but is turning out to be a really fun ride and great tool. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watchin.
Been busy logging a bunch of standing dead trees on the farm here in VT, but getting ready to get back on my f550 gin pole bed, and i was wondering, whats a good way to mount the live roll, so that i can disassemble it, but it wont just rattle the mount bolts out? I set up my gin pole pivot tabs so i can use them as live roll mounts, one will be a pin, welded to the roll, then the other end of the live roll will have a nut welded in, so i can thread a bolt in from the outboard end, maybe throw some lock tight on the threads? I run a lot of bad roads and worried that bolt will rattle out, but dont want to weld it in, fir when i inevitably realize i designed it wrong. It is in fact my first rodeo, with making a gin pole bed, ive used them before, which is why i want one so bad, all the free milling machines and stuff near me ard free cause the gotta be snaked out of a basement bulkhead entrance or something, hah.
I’ve had a couple with factory build live roll set ups. And I’ve never figured out how you would get into them. My first pole truck was a home made rig. Coming off of a standard flat bed corner was a heavy piece of angle on each side which was the mounting plate for a standard pillar block bearing and the roller was like a 5 or 6 inch pipe with caps on the end and welded to the centers of the caps was an 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 in pipe stem to be inverted into the bearing. It didn’t have any middle support but we used it for 20 years and it was old when we got it. Send me some picks of you pole mounts with the roller mount built in and I may be able to through ya an idea or two. Glad to hear from ya. It’s been a while
Been a lot of jumping around lately with building the shop as well as working on trucks. Working hard on this one lately cause she has a few big lifts to make in the near future.
@@chrisallen3741 I’ll keep them coming. The next few should be on the winch truck then I’m sure ahead will be a regular on the channel as well. Subscribe if you like and you can be notified when new stuff comes out. I try to shoot for Fridays to release new videos but get behind sometimes.
@@chrisallen3741 cool and thanks for that. I wasn’t sure when you said you had to keep looking for videos. Appreciate the support. It lets me know we are on the right track.
