Oh hi Fred, this is my new wagon frame. I've got the reach set fairly short because I don't want
0:08
this wagon to be any longer than it needs to be. There's my tank and here's what I'm thinking of
0:16
doing. If we got some rectangular tube I guess and I don't know what it would be maybe four by six
0:24
or something and that would take the place of the beam, the wooden beam that's usually used
0:30
for these things. I'd have one on this side, one on this side, maybe maybe one in the middle too
0:36
Not to carry the water tank, although it's gonna be pretty heavy, maybe I do want a beam in the
0:43
middle to carry the water tank but here's the part I'd like to get your take on. So these beams
0:51
they come out here, you know maybe they extend out to here or so, and then on the end of the
0:59
beam I'm envisioning a vertical piece, a square tube or something, pretty big, maybe three by
1:05
three or four by four. Fairly long, it could be a foot or a foot and a half long and the reason
1:12
for that is so that I could make the water trough holder kind of an L-shaped thing so that it fits
1:19
down into the end of this piece that's welded on the ends of the beams. Because in order for this
1:28
thing to work, the tanks got to be fairly low to the ground, but if the whole thing is permanently
1:37
built and I've got this thing that's several inches from the ground, I can't really use the
1:42
wagon for anything else. So I'm thinking when I have it in water mode, I'd have this bracket
1:48
I'd have a lug in it or something I could lower it in with a loader and then that would support
1:52
the tank and then when I want to use the wagon for something else I can just lift it off and
1:58
take it away. So I've got the tank ordered, the water trough I mean, so I think it's gonna be
2:06
about this high or so. So I'm not sure if that four by six beam is actually gonna raise the
2:15
water tank high enough so that the bottom of it, like the deck that it sits on, the wooden deck
2:20
that I'm gonna put on the metal framework is high enough so that it's above the top of the water
2:26
trough. I need to figure that out. I guess I need to get the water trough here first just to be sure
2:30
Well that's what I'm thinking. Tell me what you think. Maybe there's some better way to go about
2:38
this. Thanks Fred. Bye for now
