re: Slice and Dice, NOS tailgate
I went to Tractor Supply and found a metal cutting blade for a circular saw. It took awhile to cut because the metal is very thick on these gates and this table saw is about 40 years old. I had some trouble fitting it up because the gate was twisted from the get go. I ended up welding the ends 50% way around. I then clamped one end of the gate to the chassis, and a 6 foot section of sqaure tubing to other end. A few good twist and it was back to normal.
