This isn't a biggie but it is very recent and reminded me to check things along as you build them. I built a new battery box (one open side with a combination removeable side cover/lid setup) for a friend of mine and the box has a bent steel plate supporting bracket underneath the box that runs the length of the box. The bracket is different at opposite ends. After fabricating the box and the bracket, I set them both on the tractor and marked in where the one was to be welded to the other. Back to the welder and away I went, did a great weld (more than I needed) and when I went back to fit it on I realized that I welded the bracket on backwards end for end and the open side of the box was facing the wrong way and you wouldn't be able to get the battery out from that side because of tractor linkages in the way. Back to the bench for some swearing and grinding and cold-chilselling made for a very frustrating morning. Worked out OK but I wasn't a happy camper.
