Years ago when we were cutting timber here on the wodden horse, my father had an awfull habit of pointing to the log, telling me where to cut it.... and I about to come down with the chainsaw. One of the reasons why I got the proper log holder.

Local young lad did that while his grandad was knocking them in with a 3.5 tonne mini digger. Miraculously all he caught was the tip of one finger and it was able to be re-attached.

Lad I was in College with later worked with the farm relief.
Driving posts with a tractor post driver, the guy on the tractor dropped the weight on his hand.

Didn't lose it, amazingly, but it was very badly smashed up.

Excellent craftsmanship on that cart! Super job.

Those sack cart wheel rims can be of dubious quality l have found. Had the centres fall out of them and wasnt over loaded by any means. But not a big job to upgrade if it does happen

You're right they're not great, but i'll put another set on the front with a steerable dolly to help take a bit of pressure off the back, anything half decent seemed to be upwards of €50 and i did'nt want to spend it for what it was going on, just wanted to make something usefull out of the steel offcuts before the rust go to it. also did'nt want to go for castors or a solid wheel as i have to go over rough ground with it and the air helps to even out the hard bumps a little.

Any one have any pics of wheels attached to a calf deforning crate. Are the wheels movable so as to stop movement when using it.

Ours us sort of like a wheel barrow and you have tio lift up one side for it to move. Doesnt tend to stir once you have calf in it

Short chain on the loader is handy too.

Not farming related, but a lot of smart buckos here with kids.

Was in local playground lately and they had a see saw. The arms were welded at an angle where it pivots and it puzzling me as to why this was done.

I'd love if someone with engineering brwin could explain.

Would there be less shear force when pivioted at an angle than if perpendicular/90' to the bar?

To provide some lateral movement possibly...............

I reckon the welder made a balls of it and just told the council that it was a 'feature'

Not sure but by right in doing that it would slow down the seesaw.

The metal tube would be rubbing off the shaft in the corners. As opposed to a straight set up. It'll slow it down a bit provided no grease is used. :pac:

Just imagine that there's corners on a tube!

Tis a company on the continent that nearly supply all playgrounds now as far as l can see

patsy_mccabe · 10-07-2018 1:43pm

Known in engineering as a Monday morning job, i'd say.
What it does do is slightly twist the seat as the see saw goes up. Would that be more fun for the kids?

Farmer · 10-07-2018 1:59pm

Just a mad guess here!

I wonder is it a balance/inertia thing. For argument's sake, exaggerate the angle out to say 45 degrees. Now put a pair of unbalanced (weightwise) kids on it. Now each child can lean a bit left or right to alter their distance from the fulcrum, thus better balancing the other child. This kind of stuff happens automatically with kids without having to work out the science.

The question is, does the slight angle shown give enouvh effect

Edit: Other possibility is that its some form of inertia brake to slow it down if the child near the ground suddenly jumps off

The ones on mine are just on a stub axle and held on with R clips. Just slide them off when working

The Nutty M · 11-07-2018 6:11am

I'd hazard a guess and say it's to do with having a greater range to hold on. A small child could hold on and have two points of contact moreso than only have one if the bar was straight and further away.

Pussyhands · 12-07-2018 11:34pm

i would guess there is some pivot in the tube that allows the seat to remain relatively lateral all the way up. Small kids might be pushed forward without it...maybe!

Old bluey got treated to her third (that I know of anyway) hydraulic pump recently.

Few more pics here if anyone is interested

What were you doing with the cable? Lifting off the cover?

Remember the old ear punches going back to headage days that took a half inch hole out of the animal's ear. I keep one of those in the drawer for the larger bolt holes. A leather punch does the small ones. I'm beat for the 8-10mm ones, have to gunther them out with a blade

Siund. Now theres another longer one on RHS down low. That's hydraulic? I was mixing them up!!

Get a piece of flat metal with the correct hole size. Get the hole position on the gasket located over the hole A big ball from a scrapped bearing held on the gasket at the desired position given a tap of a hammer will cut a nice neat hole in the cardboard.

A big ball bearing, as big as a good sized marble will cut a perfect hole in your gasket.
Position the gasket material over the part, and with your thumb press the cardboard into the hole, making a slight indent.
Place the ball bearing into the dent in the cardboard, and GENTLY tap it with a light hammer.
It will cut out a perfect circle.

Edit,just saw Foxy had already posted it.
