I found this in my center tunnel a while back.
I could be wrong but, there's a couple of things that make me think this could be a factory "tool" (for lack of better word). It has multiple layers of Saturn/Chrome Yellow paint on it. Seems like it might have been used for pulling the tub from one area of the shop to another on a dolly. I can't find any body mounts that would line up though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Has anyone ever seen one of these?    |

I would bet if you did a little sanding in that chip area, you would find several layers of different colors. The only reason it's still yellow is because of the obviuos, it was the last paint color shot on the line before it was lost.
I would think if it were part of the main equipment it would have been welded rather than bolted and it wouldn't be a piece of rod steel welded to two M8 bolts. It looks more like a worker had a idea of "if I had a handle right here it would probably be easier" tool. I've had the Fab shop that builds our machines create drill jigs and welding jigs for repeat-ability and then thrown away when not needed. |
