Today was fix it day.  Cindy started wire brushing the cattle trailer to remove the rust and glue.  I had lost a pin on the bucket  while bush hogging and had bent it quite a bit when I hit a stump.

 

There are a few rust spots on the skin
More rust on the tube frame
Here Cindy is attacking it with her tool of choice.  I Oxy-Acetylene welded up the few holes in the tubing.  The classes At Mid-Florida Tech sure paid off.
Here is the left side of the bucket.  This bend has always been there.  The pin fits, but it is very tight. This was easy to straighten by heating it with a rosebud tip till it will bend using the 3' long pipe wrench.
Here is the newly bent right side. This took a few heatings before I was able to get it bent back straight.  Sorry there is no after pictures, I was just too tired.
