I wondered about the design of the log cradle when I first unloaded it. I was right.
Those brackets are a perfect place for knots, etc. to catch on. I have bent and restraightened them, sheered the bolts off of one side, and now did it again.
They are mounted with self-tapping lag type bolts. Fortunately enough is left sticking out that I can unscrew the remainder with vice grips.
Planning to put a 1/8" sheet metal sheild on so nothing can catch on anything. Will have to leave the lower end 'floating as there is nothing to fasten to witout a lot of tinkering.
