I appreciate the input. I actually finished it up last night when the junk man came to look at all the stuff I wanted him to carry off. he told me he cut those all the time, and never had a problem.
not a big deal really, and the rest of the truck is completely torn down so even if the oil inside would have started on fire there really isn't anything it could have burned; I was mostly concerned about an explosion.
anyway I kept a fire exstinguisher by my side just incase.
I gotta get the tractor fired up today, and pull that axle out from under it, and then everything else is grinder work, and drilling out spot welds. I'll get some pic's up today sometime of my progress.
