This is the second power cube being mounted on LifeTrac 6.

Using cutting stops, it takes 40 minutes to cut with torch and grind edges of 12 Power Cube frame members, 32", 40", 48" long - out of 10' stock sections.

(15 sec = 40 minutes on time lapse every 5 seconds)

Then you build the frame around a 27 hp Power Cube:

(1 hour 15 minutes)

(45 minutes. Most of the 2 hours was spent on shifting tubes and figuring out bolt pattern in real life. Expected build time (inserting and mounting 24 bolts, plus 8 bolts for stabilizing plates for Power Cube) once procedure is set is under 1 hour.)

Then you bring the tractor in:

(1 hour 6 minutes - included remounting loose power cube (1) on LT 6, replacing 2 bolts on the LT 6 power cube compartment, and replacing 4 bolts on the Power Cube (2) - to remove bolt conflicts)

And mount the Power Cube on the tractor:

(about 15 minutes to shake bolts around into holes so they align - 4 bolts, 1"x6" long - were used to mount the frame on.)
