Just a little thing I made for gates on a sheep pen.
Nothing worse than a lamb sticking his head through the bars and lifting the gate off its hangers.
Just a bit of piping split and secured with either a Jubilee clip or a cable tie.

the simplest ideas are always the best .. fair play

Thanks all. Did I post this before? Can't remember. Anyway.....

Have you ever needed those little rubber seals/ grommets that go into livestock drinkers. Was a bank holiday weekend so made this.
Its part of the handle of an old golf/pitch & putt club, cut at the point where the handle diameter is the same as the rubber seal you need.
These handles are tapered you will always find the right size.
Rubber is piece of tractor tube, from an 18x38 tube.
You can sharpen the edge of the punch with a chainsaw file.

You can always make rubber washers the same way if they're needed.

Super job, Reggie. Would you put a pair of gas struts on the lid?
Do you plan to remove the lid when in use?
If not, would you reverse one of the hinges to prevent it coming off?

Sandwiches and tae, no. Spare parts, tool box , yes! Could you not bring what you needed in the cab? A few tines and a roll of twine will be fairly rattling around in that or are you going planning on bringing oxy acy bottles and generator around with you? Overkill. You'd see sp crews with less

Did you trade it in? l thought you had a authentic classic tractor and loader setup there.

If twas me l would have left it as is. I think you've devalued it now by putting a new loader on a classic classy massey.

You should have gone the whole hog and got a greengrass job if you wanted to upgrade.

Ya can fit nothing in the massey cab tbh. Left her big enough to carry drums of oil or diesel if I needed to plus it can double up for other jobs with the lid removed. Nothing worse than finding something is just too small

It's not big enough Reggie! Should have been big enough for stakes, strainers, few rolls of hi-tensile wire etc etc. When I saw it first I thought you were making a cage to get up to clean gutters / roofing.

Well you may wear on the new loader.

Its big enough for my little bit. When we go fencing on the main patch we bring the teleporter with the 8ft bucket

I can only speak for myself, but guntering and digital calipers is surely an oxymoron.

I think they're ok, they usually last until the next time they're on special offer. Big help is to take the battery out when you are not using it.

I find them fierce handy. I suppose I'm used to using one at work everyday. If you want to measure the diameter on a bearing, thread size, any small diameter really.

SCOL

Lads,

This is the guntering page not the persision engineering site !!!

What's a bearing ???? if one bar fits into another and a bit of WD40
and that your bearing sorted no need for even a measuring tape.
