Have to weld it out tomorrow it goes on the teeth of a large excavator bucket to scrape dirt off of plywood when the rodeo is finished. The rodeo is on the football field. They lay filter fabric down then plywood then 8" of dirt.

The outfit that sets the field up had a truck detained in Az by the DOT. It had this tool on the truck.

4 feet or so. Went just past the machine. If the lathe was a foot longer it wood have been fine.
