Ranger Restoration Help

[HighlandDad]

Hello - new member.  Thanks for this site and the help so far from Troy and Jeff who have helped me identify the Weber grill I found in the dark on my morning walk before work.  I found a yellow Ranger grill with all the pieces.  The major concerns are the condition of the bottom kettle bowl where the attachment for the wheel has rusted through.  The legs are also in poor shape where they sit on the ground.  I have an amazing coworker who already has a line on a metal shop that can get me the tubing and bending services if I need new legs.  He also is a welder, has the material and Tig to cut out and replace the bad patch if this is the path I need to consider.  What do you do for the damaged coating?  I have only taken it apart and used soap and water, nothing else yet.  I will try to load some photos, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that on this site.  Thanks for the recommendations and help!  Bill

Hi Bill.

With your images hosted somewhere, each will have a unique URL. To show them inline here with your text, surround the image's address with IMG tags

Some hosting providers such as Photobucket will do their best to hide the image's true URL because they REALLY want to direct traffic to their site. But in general, everything from the http to jpg will be the image's full URL

thank god you guys saved the cat.

it took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about.
i swear that was a complete accident, but I'm going to leave it because it's appropriate for that grill

How do you just find something like that. Amazing!

There's always hope a unique kettle.

Not sure the cat will make it though.

Diamond in the rough right there! I just had to reattach a leg socket to one of my kettles, used stainless steel bolts and washers. Good luck! Keep us posted on the progress.
