Starter n torch Week

40 week
120 month

This week I changed two tires on a silage truck. Also I changed the starter on the same truck. I cut up a old plow with a cutting torch for recycle that was fun I learned that if you take your time you will make better cuts and it'll come apart easier. I also learned that steel stays hot for a long time and burns skin easily.
