    Yeah, perhaps keeping the used centres from 9" disks to use in the 4" grinder, isnt such a good idea.....

    Thats a recipe for disaster doing that,discs aren't rated for the speed of the small grinders.

    I was told that too.

    I've had a few centres go out of angle grinder discs but they always seemed to be cheap discs . One was a grinder from aldi or lidl which came with discs.
    One of those whatever way it managed it shot out of the grinder and took off across the yard.
    Prefer the bandsaw or consaw for cutting steel

    We used to make our own in a company I worked for. Just cut o-ring cord to length and glue it together. Very important to get both the diameter and length right. If dia is too small it will leak. If too big it could pinch or 'set'. Setting will put it out off shape.
    If cut too long it is very hard to flattened down I to the groove. I always aimed for about 2% under in length when designing.
    Much better to get the proper full o-ring. There are a full B.S. range to choose from. Abbey seals in Dublin stock a good range. Dealt with them a lot over the years.

    Ya, easily gotten. Great for long o-rings to making seals.

    Not really farming but any hints on how to get a security tag off a kids coat. Bought it yesterday. Alarm never went off going out of shop but we went to aldi after and alarms went off going in and ou. Only noticed today the security tag is in the pocket. Dont want to cut the material if possible. Its a big round black plastic one with 2bits

    Just heat the tag with a lighter and it will eventually melt off. Do it outside since the fumes are bad. Heat ye side further from the material. Eventually the spring will release and the tag will come off.

    Had the same problem with a coat I bought in the USA

    Bit of emergency guntering last night. Plastic in the tunnel ripped just as I came in so a piece of 2x1, two vice grips and a couple of feet of rope sorted it.

    A few alright. If I wasn't so lazy and went down earlier, I would have saved the gable end of the shed too. Maybe:(

    Will probably need a complete cover now, how long is it there,
    My cover is five years now and no problem so far, the supplier claims ten years

    I think it's there 7 years now. The corner in the picture there is open to the cattle coming into the collection yard since I recovered the tunnel. I had a bull who used to keep scratching his head on the corner so he wore away the corner. I'm putting up a pole there to hang a gate and stop things like that happening in future.

    I'll have a better look later in the year and see what patching can be done to see if it can last another year or two.

    I'm thinking of getting a euro quick hitch and mating it to 3-point links. Has anyone ever done this? Doesnt seem to be something that can be bought off the shelf. Is it a hair brained idea?

    Have seen the reverse on DoneDeal ie euro brackets for front loader with lift arms and a mini top link to lift your three point stuff on the loader.

    It shouldn't be too hard to Gunther something the opposite direction?

    I know a lad that has done it.. he also put euro brackets on almost everything in the yard too.. he also made up the euro to 3pt linkage with toplink for some stuff.. handy to change things quick but hard to justify.. he got a load of backets somewhere for nothing that were welded wrong.. hence the idea!
