Made a little progress on the beast...some work on the lathe to make the greaseable pins for the lid hinges and rams, removed some material from one side of each of the upper yokes on the rams which solved the clearance problem, made the ram lower brackets and tacked them in place. Also forged some hooks for the quick-attach so I could hang it on the tractor; not happy with how the hooks came out (I'm blaming my lack of proper blacksmithing equipment) but they will do until I convert to a Euro-hitch.
Lots and lots of welding to do- the bottom section is almost welded up but the lid is just tacked together and I haven't even started on the gussets. Probably going to have to get the hose guy to come to me, although the pocket is still reeling from the hoses on the loader.
