[AT] Trailer hitch ball mount

[Paul Waugh]

Not this guy, his dad was a blacksmith turned welder. He is pushing 60 and 
grew up with a welding rod in his had. Never been to school for it.  How he 
keeps from burning his beard, I don't know. Runs his help to death, because 
he is a go getter.  Watched him press in a 3 inch pin into excavator arm he 
had made (8ft long, 1 ft square, out of 3/4 inch steel). He said if, "I have 
done it right, it should press in at 10,000 - 15,000 lbs."  It started 
moving at 13,000  lbs and went in. He is amazing to watch.  Rides his bike 
to work at 4:am.
