Here a few pics. of a canister I made years ago, to allow you pump oil into awkward places.
Air tank off an old Ford lorry, with a galvanised pipe fitting welded on, and a matching threaded bung . Has a hole drilled and valve stem brazed on, to allow the tank be pressurised. Holds about 2 gallons.

Best thing ive seen in a while.
What we use is this

Spent the night in the workshop under a John Deere 6930 fixing the front axle. Got it sorted eventually although steering function isn't quite what it was

Bruder do spare parts , look up the web site and the part number is on each part. In fairness they give great service at least they did in our day we moved on to 1 32 now

You'll have to roof it now, bit of polytunnel plastic so the poor girl won't have to be rushing in and out at the mercy of the rain

I made a clothes line like that over 10 years ago. Decided this year they wanted it gone. Cut it up and welded a frame for my weedlicker.

Roof is ideal if you can have one. Neighbour has one made from sheets of polycarb (I think its called). Allows sunlight in and keeps the worst of the rain off.

A small poly tunnel would be a good job I reckon.

Well for a washing line I'd not have the plastic down to the ground, for breeze. However I reckon myself it'd have to come down a fair piece if the line isn't in a sheltered spot.

Could make up temporary sides of plastic covered frames for the growing season though.

I used to have a poly tunnel, about 12 ft long. Handy play pen on a wet day for the two lads when they were growing up

did a repair job on the round feeder..Old tin snips came into user again. Worked grand.

Muckit

Great job, very tasty!

Just wondering should you go all the way through on the bottom and stick bolts in them? Or even every second one. Always noticed the galvanise always came away on the bottom from sitting in ****e.

I'm doing one myself at the moment. I hope to have it finished this evening. The sheeting alone was €40 for each one and about €20 for the m6x50 hex bolts I used. At the price of the feeders new, you'd wonder is it worth it when you consider your time.
What size sheet did you use? Mine is 0.9mm, and no bother to work with. In the local COOP, I see they have 0.5mm on them. Big difference. I welded on 2 bits of angle to the uprights at each end to better fix the ends. In the past, it was at the ends that it came loose first.

Sometimes when you're out in the field a vice could be handy. Easy to mount almost anything on a LR Defender.
€25 for the vice in Lidl a few bits of scrap a few bolts and thats what I came up with.

Do you have to bolt that on and off every time or am l missing something?

Yeah although i have come up with a better idea using a pin but would have to weld 2 ears to hitch plate. They're only M12x30 mm bolts anyway the holes on the crossmember are threaded to accept the bolts. 19mm socket and ratchet has em on off in no time.

Anyone ever replaced the galv sheet with stokboard or ecosheet? Fix with few stainless steel bolts and no more fixing Only the frame to see after then.

Brilliant idea foxy , maybe an idea to off set it away from the door if you are tweaking it again . Fierce handy for a lad that does a bit of fixing in the field though

could ya modify it so that the plate bolted to the jeep has an eye(or 2) that you can then use a pin/bar to join the vice stand to

It's a wonder that JFC never made one based on a giant corrie pipe ring. It'ld be nice and light for lifting as well

Have something like that in my head. Would make it fast to fit and remove. The 2 bolts on it now keep it grand and tight. Not a stir out of it. Twill have to do for now anyway.
Draper tools sell a special clamp that clamps a scaffold pipe to the ball hitch and a steel plate for mounting vice on, on top of pipefor 250+vat.😲

Only joking. Grand job, and as handy as a small pot

On the resheeting the round feeder, a friend used to always put the new sheet inside the feeder, as he reckoned it was the weight of the silage shoved it off. I never heard of the theory from any one else. I often weld in an other bar or two up and down ways so that the sheeting has more tecs, and more support against the cattles legs.

They'd last for ever more. No demand for, or profit in making replacements.
