    Dang aluminum, & ratchet binders. Should've used a snap.
    Zoomed into the front, I had the chain pocket wrapped cause there ain't a spool up there. Coupled with the low pull angle she went pop.. :confused:

    Gonna try submit it for warranty claim..

    Found a pretty good fix just using some steel spacers & longer hardware so I can use the j plates more. Try prevent myself from bust'n more pockets..

    Don't use em much now as they can hop over these poorly designed stops..

    Yeah, pretty annoying after laying down a serious chunk of change. Well, serious $ to po folk like me anyhow.. :D

    I'm to blame as well. I get a little too aggressive crank'n away on them ratchet boomers sometimes.. :oops:

    Also I knew better than to not get chain pulls. This wagon was on the lot, priced fair, & didn't have to wait the 8 week build time. Everything I wanted less the pull ups..

    One of the projects we haven't gotten to yet is something very similar, but on a larger scale. That is, putting up enough black 2" coiled pvc tubing on the porch roof to hold 20 gallons of water, that'll heat enough hot water for showers in the summer. The wood cook stove heats all our hot water in the winter months. The objective is to shut off the electric WH as much as possible year round. Am I gonna get to it this year, probably not....

    2- type big pine key iguanas into google. Them dang thing are running wild all over down there. Pretty neat. Seen one launch out of a 50' pine tree into a canal, swim across & scale the concrete seawall on the other side. Insane.. :eek:
