Happens all the time to us so we reinforce them with Manganese steel plate instead. They don’t bend and split as often.

“ Manufacturers create high manganese steel plates by adding manganese to a base metal like carbon steel or alloy steel. This creates a material with an incredibly high level of wear resistance and tensile strength higher than that found in most conventional steels. The addition of manganese also gives these plates excellent hardenability and shock absorption capabilities”

I was looking for a pic but must be on an old phone but I demolished a backhoe bucket similarly.

I was digging in a corner of the plot in a chunk of granite doing a low profile dugout modular spec home I was building.

Bucket ripped open like a tin can. My welder was thankfully able to repair a $2k bucket but braced it all up in Manganese and it was like new until I sold that backhoe package.

I have so many stickers decided to cover my work bench top with some.

Work in progress.

I've lost some great old stickers because whatever I stuck them to died, usually garage fridges. I started sticking them to sheet magnets so I can move them or save them.

So the boat has been sitting since last November and due to the back injury and surgery,

I just pulled it to get the months of Az dust cleaned off and go out this weekend. I was at the river last week with no boat...brutal. As I was cleaning I noticed the steering was locked and I just paid $650 for a new cable just at 2 years ago. I called the shop and he said bring it in at 8am tomorrow I wasn't expecting that.

If the cable is sitting in water in the bulge it will wash the grease out eventually and the cable will freeze in the jacket. No way to re-lube it.....

15 minutes ago. The water was reflecting this weird green color. I’ve never seen that before.

I don't keep my boat in the water and drain the bilge after every user. I should get more than 2 years for a new steering cable.
