This morning we were thinking we were geniuses! Rigged it up to the pine tree with the tractor on the other side and yanked it sideways till it was ( . )( . ) 35" OC. Hauled it back into the shop and started hanging fenders. WHOA! Core support is WAY high. We tried riggin six ways to Sunday to try and pull them horns down and just could not get them. We SCREWED the bumper brackets and finally just cut them off to be straightened back out then re-welded on later. We had a six foot, 2-1/2" pipe jammed in there and mashed down with the tractor bucket till I was worried I'd break something. Not even sure where it's really bent. Boy ain't no doctor but he's running out of patients so we put it back together best we could so he could drive it. It's driveable but it still sucks! We're taking to a profesh body shop for a quote while I lean on my "pal" for a real-deal frame alignment. Got it wrapped up just in time for chow. As soon as we got it fired I was like "you should let me drive". What a f-ukin laugh we had. I didn't drive. The thing flat-out hauls azz!!! I'm a little worried about that Boy!
