i had a little motivation and time today so i got a few things done. i had some friends stop buy and we spent enough time jackjawin that i didnt get as much done as i planed. but i made it into town before the hardware store closed so i have the required bolts to put it all back together if i get that far tomorrow.
these are the new shackle hangers. there will be a little more to them when its all said and done. material is 1/4"
managed to hack the frame all to pieces
and got the replacement part sat in there before i had to shut down. i tacked the little tabs on in my way so tomorrow i will fix that and burn it in
