Absolutely beautiful! What connects the kettle to the frame? Does it just sit on it?
No, the bowl has threaded nipples welded on the sides. They rest in holes in the legs. The cross beam on the back of the legs that the ash pan rests on holds everything in place.
Holy. Schnickies! GREAT cleanup. Thanks for documenting this resto and sharing with us. Perfect RRR post, bud. [emoji106][emoji106]
I actually have tons of pictures and measurements because another member reached out to me about a possible recreation project. I actually think it would be very easy for anyone who has a pipe bender that can bend a 1" pipe and something to crimp it at the end that connects to the wheel. If anyone wants to attempt to make their own Ranger and needs me to e-mail my detailed pics with measurements and snail mail templates I made of the legs just shoot me a PM.
