Today was a good and seemingly productive day. We pulled the cart out of the shop into the rain, a fellow service tech brought his truck around and set up the crane to set the tanks in place on the commodity cart. After the tanks were in place, we pushed the cart back into the shop so it was out of the rain and I adjusted the pads (the items that the tanks actually rest on) and installed the feed tubes to the front of the cart from the metering houses (the device which permits the correct amount of seed to flow to the seed planter). I also crawled into the tanks to connect the ladders and installed plates to plug holes where the walkway used to connect to the tanks. We connected the scaling load cells to power and installed a display panel and found out that they actually work. Surprisingly after zeroing the display, I crawled up onto the tanks and found that the scales were very accurate, it displayed my weight correctly LOL.
We got all of the low pressure air plumbing to the tanks installed also. I think that all of the cutting and welding and painting is coming to a end. I sure can't see any more items that will need modified for this commodity cart to work. I think tomorrow that the cart draw tongue will get installed and the cart will be moved out into the yard and the seeder will get moved in for assembly. I'm not sure if I will be doing the assembly of the seeder, nobody seems to know.
