Re: Homemade Spring Spreader
Yikes! Either that dog is really small or that wrench is huge!

Re: Homemade Spring Spreader
Jorgen's spreader looks well thought out. If we can accept the turnbuckle, what bolts would be our choice for the clevis pins? Grade3, 5, 8, or a forged clevis pin.
It would be useful to know the amount of pressure it would take to extend the spring 4 to 5 inches. If someone had access to a testing company a spring could be anchored on one end and the amount of pull from the other end could be recorded to extend to the length required to remove one shackle pin.

I wonder if a porta-power with a gauge would work? |

Re: Homemade Spring Spreader
I was looking at some photos that Frank Miller is posting on his cross country drive to Tahoe. He stopped at the EFV8 Foundation museum and I spied these two in a photo of his.

Re: Homemade Spring Spreader
Rat rod bumper is a brilliant idea. I may consider using one of my big flogging spanners on the rear of my 36' pickup (I have some around 4-5' tall that we used on the forging hammers).
