Marvin,
I really have no idea how long the cedar slabs will last. If they would have been cedar poles, my answer would be past my lifetime. If I get 10 years out of the slabs, I will be pleased. Still have a lot of work to do on the pen, I have not wired the bottom of the board to the pen, and I need to bring in about 40 more tons of sand for better footing. As it is, we have 96 tons in a 50' pen.
Should have the tractor ready to roll within the next couple of days. Going to weld the casting back together, then re-engineer the top link attachment so that it attaches to the ROPS instead of the cast housing. I about fell over when I got the price on the rod. $120.00 PER POUND. Here is what the rod is supposed to be able to do
."a bare rod that color matches gray cast iron, and amazingly enough,
a rod that can be used to weld oily or burnt cast iron or weld
steel to cast iron (MG-289). One application shown is welding a steel
plate over a hole in an engine block!"
