2007 at the Hammond Barn

[RHClarke]

Bob decided to renovate his cathouse. Grant took a day off from the barn. That left me with the whole shooting match, so I got down to business with my seat mounts and a few barn chores.

First on the schedule was the reassembly of the seat mounts. The seat mount consists of a base frame, an adjustment lever with a spring, a vertical metal tab, two sets of side rails and the fasteners required to hold the rails and lever to the frame.



After I reassembled four mounts I started work on the last two of six seats I plan on installing. Normally, the 45 HUP has two seats in the cab, two mounted to the rear inside van, and a intermediate bench seat - which I have yet to find or reconstruct. Instead I will be using two "normal" CMP seats in lieu of the bench seat.

After the seat session, I filled in some potholes using gravel dug out from in front of the three Dodge 3/4 tons - we plan on moving the trio to a drier spot. I still get a kick of the trees growing in and around the one 3/4 ton.
