Big Sale Coming Soon - UPDATED 05-01-25 (01 Apr 2025)
I went on and published the Big Sale Page. It is on the main menu, mega menu, and off canvas menu.
The Big Sale isn't yet officially on but we do sell parts every day. There's still a lot of work and organizing to here do before that happens let alone the Spring rush is here. As it says on the page it is still under construction and the page isn't finished yet. I've had a ton of calls for parts here lately and the new page may help answer some questions about what is here before peeps call. I hope that page is also clear that we DO NOT SHIP anything...
It will probably happen sometime in May or June. If anyone needs a part we will most likely have it and plenty of them. I'll keep everyone posted as things progress.
** I just realized I had not allowed access to the public on the new Big Sale page on the site. Sorry, too much going on around here. It should be fixed now where anyone can see it.

Even though prices of flat stock have almost doubled since I made the last batch last Fall the price of the new ones will stay the same as the old ones because the labor time to make them has decreased by 90%.
I planned on having them done yesterday but early Spring is really wild around here. This post will also have some pics of how the new versions are made.
First step is taking 1/2 a stick (10') of 5/8" x 2" steel, getting it on the machine and setting the backstop at 8". Once that is done we just feed the steel in till it hits the stop, press the pedal on the machine and it takes 3 seconds to shear it and raise for the next piece. In about 3 minutes minutes the entire stick is sheared and stacked on the welding table.

The new pieces will have a little larger hole on the hitch pin end. Previously the hole was drilled to 3/4" The new ones will be punched to 13/16" The first pic below shows a new punched hole over an original drilled hole for comparison.
The reason is punch dies (unless custom made) are always done in 1/16" increments. The reason for this is if you have a longer bolt the shank, or non threaded portion of a longer bolt is the actual size of the bolt. Nothing being a perfect size and roundness makes it hard to put a 3/4" bolt shank in a 3/4" hole, hence the 1/16" upsize. Same as with the shearing, there is a hole made every 3 seconds.
I bet you didn't know this was going to be a fabrication class as well lol.

Next step will be a quick run over with a flap disc on the mag vise to remove any possible sharp edges.
