That right the one of the old gates are coming down. It didn't start out that well at first. The battery on the John Deere was dead. Now last week Bob and I put a used battery in. Remember we replace the batteries on the new school bus? Well one of the still had life, I thought? Just put the changer on and it started right up. We got it off and took in back, next to the trailer. We are using the old hinges. So taking them off and cleaning them up, then painting them too. Oh plus Bob had to cut out some steel on the hinge. The reason was he welded in a piece of 1" steel pipe. This way the hole will not wear out so fast the next time. Now remember these gates have been up for a while now, guessing 1993. You can see how real bad they are in the last picture. The sad part was my camera went dead too. You know these smart phones, the battery life is not that great. Another battery went dead again too, the John Deere, DON'T SHUT IT OFF?????
We got the new gate up and it fits great. The other side is hanging down a little, so we had to put a board under it so the new gate fit. Got it all back together and we get to do it again today, God willing.
