Board Shortener Tom Posted October 22 Posted October 22 This is something I would have done (and probably would do today, if needed). I had a trans cooler spring a leak on a 91 Dodge W250 with a Cummins in it. I had a large, aluminum refrigeration condensor that I mounted in front of the radiator support. Had to cut the center of the grill out. It was ugly but it worked well. 😅 3 Quote

DT Fan Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Pretty sure I've got one, or possibly two of those in the old garage! Might have to find a 404 to mount one on? 1 Quote

supermechanic Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Was a guy down the way from my place who had a cast steam boiler chained to the brush guard on the front, it was a David Brown with some sort of a home-brew brush cutter on the back, ugly as all. Quote
dale560 Posted October 24 Posted October 24 Dad had an old steel mayrath auger with a 10 hp Briggs engine. It would over center when raised up so he fashioned an old 100 lb wheel weight mount when that wasn’t enough he hung a motor like that off the weight. Quote

All those good drag anchors going to waste😀 Around here we use them for drift fishing in the river on a flat bottom jon boat. It's enough to slow you down, but they usually don't hang up and stop the boat altogether. 1 Quote

Dad used 3-4 of them on the bottom of his chimney brush. His was on a rope, so the weight was necessary. 1 Quote
