How stupid can I be :D
Yup you bone headed that one nice there Pete ;D :o
A piece of pipe, some heat and a square and no one will know.
With all the sawing you do your bound to have the odd catch here and there.
Nice Log though :new_year:
I got one, but I'm not going to show it :D nailed my lift arm way back with the fork, it happens..
I refer to myself as ''Grandpa Bonehead'' when i do something like that to distinguish myself.Takes a big man to put it right out there ,Peter.It coulda been a lot worse.
I find if you never do anything,you dont break anything !! ;D its a simple fix !!
Nope, not bonehead or stupid. Stuff just happens and we suck it up and move on. As long as we have ourselves we do not need enemies. ;D :D
Like I say,you have to do something,to break something. ;D
Yep.....Bonehead......nothing but pure T bonehead! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Like me sticking a fork through my LT40 tire. You are now a member of the "Bonehead Club".

Hope it didn't put a twist in the main beam. Otherwise, fix and go. ;)
Anytime that I get real close to my mill with forks, bad things happen :).
well at least you stopped before you tipped your mill over :D :D

The arm was next to the main frame, I was in a hurry and the tip of the fork caught the arm , And when you pull for the forks to come back John don't care, The forks come back , :D :D :D

At least you can steal one off the far end of the extension until the new part comes. The same part on my extension has no stainless bed sleeve for that same reason. :D I'm glad you didn't flip it over. When I pick slabs in front of the loading arms, sometimes the forks just catch that round tube. The LULL really doesn't care what is on there, and it wouldn't take much to catapult the mill onto it's back. :o

Did that, :D :D :D :D 8)
I really, really don't like loading or unloading my mill with a machine. I've had some close calls and almost did what Peter did.
Take the bolt out of the free end of the rail and let John push it back down. ;) Don't ask how I know.
I always feel better fixing something when I break it myself. if someone else was running the machine and broke it , it makes the job that much harder knowing I didn't break it in the first place.
good luck with the repair
