Re: Backyard Cummins
The driver's side boxing plate requires holes for accessing the steering box bolts. In my case, I stole the idea from another build to sleeve access holes with pieces of pipe.
I bought the below harbor freight drill specifically for this project(workhorse), But i had no idea how crappy it actually was. I only used it a few times before i could hear parts coming loose inside. After a few more uses, there was obvious play in the bearings. The below was the final straw, the width of the step-up drill bit was too much for the "industrial heavy duty" drill to handle. Drill heated up to a few hundred degrees and misc components inside started pouring out smoke. I was taking it pretty easy on it also.
I got the hole drilled though!!
