I designed & built a new frame for a 1974 Boler
Approx weight of the new frame without axle is 280 Lbs compared to approx 140 lbs of old (flimsy) frame.
Updated the sagging Torsion axle with a 2000 lb Dexter torsion ride axle.
Old Boler Frame was removed using my Car hoist
I the used car dolley’s to roll it in a corner of the shop
Then started building the frame
