For those of you talking about buying a magnetic drill earlier, I found this on adverts.ie:

http://www.adverts.ie/power-tools/magnetic-drill-1200w/10874200

No idea if it is any good but I thought some of you might be interested.

cage welded up from a old mesh gate . Runners for front sliding gate. Hanging awaiting dry paint .
U frame for hanging it off .

Question
What's the easiest way of hanging from one point to scales. I don't want it swinging all over the place and I want to keep weigh down .

4 chains would be a little loose

Ideas??

Will you not have to fit the mesh cage into a frame? And incorporate a system whereby the cage is not hanging suspended on the scales all the time?
You are probably best to have the scales and cage attached a link that allows you lift the entire thing by a lever when the lamb is in and standing still.
The yoke I have has a U shaped channel each side of the frame, and two little roller bearings each side of the cage that run in the U channel.
Must take a pic.

This is what mine is like. Can't remember the name, except it's Scottish. There are two roller bearings each side, and the cage can't "rock" about when the animal is being weighted.

Pictures tell a thousand words ðŸ‘

I see what u mean to stop the rocking.
I'm thinking a large lever handle to rise cage when lamb stops moving might be the easiest not doing too many but nice to know the weight .

Didn't realise the discussion had moved from sheep

try to make it digital anyway, if you could find something like this with a platform big enough to put the cage onto

Reggie or others. Have any of ye used waxoyl before?

Take for example box section steel in a guntering project. You can sandblast and paint outside but sure inside has no protection.

No never have but I know what your getting at alright

God l thought you would have used it Reggie. Maybe it's a bit OTT. But in another way l think be good idea for inside of a lot of farm machinery.

The landrover lads use it a lot.

Ah for the bit of guntering it's not really needed I would think. Something like a vehicle or that def

3mm wall will see most of us out without rusting through. I used lighter stuff to make a head gate in a calving box almost 30 years ago, outside of it was painted, it's still hanging anyway. I hear that waxoyl stuff is good for the MF 600 series cabs alright. Never used it though.

Rust needs oxygen to grow, if box is welded right and sealed it can't get either moisture or air in. That's basically how paint works isn't it, seals out air and moisture.

Used it on some new machinery. (Live beside the sea salt air)
Got a 500 Honda 4/5 years ago and took wheels off and sprayed with clear Waxoil. Engine frame rims the whole shebang. Service garage always comments that she looks like new.
If it can't be galvanised about here it's waxoiled.

Clean what ever ur doing 100% then let dry completely.
I only do it on a scorching day and might even heat machine with space heater, I would have the gallon tin of Waxoil in hot water which I keep heating. Then i spray on with a schutzs gun and leave to dry a bit before putting back together. When it's totally dry it's like candle wax.

If I am spraying on machines at end of year I mis it with 30% gives a greasy finish to machines lasts better than just spraying on oil.

Muckit

Good man. Did u ever spray it inside the frames of machines? From googling l think there's a long nozzle u can fit to the shutz gun to spray inside. But the waxoyl has to be thinned down l think.

f140

can you get this stuff with a clear colour or is it only black??

I have a nozzle for it somewhere but never used it.
It was a length of semi flexible pipe with a brass end and 4 holes out the sides of brass end so it would spray out in all sideways directions

What's the difference between shutz and waxoyl. Have used shutz before on the undercarriage of the trailers. I have to do a bit of light rust removal under the cab and part of the chassis of an Isuzu NQR when the weather improves. Was going to use shutz but would waxoyl be a better long term option. Also what does it cost.

Nekarsulm

Shutz often used under wheel arches, and painted on larger areas. Waxol designed for cavities, and inside chassis and the like. It is supposed to flow or "creep" into crevices etc. If you ever had a Mark 2 VW Golf or Jetta, they were doused in the stuff in the door cavities and inside the boot panels.

For some reason, JCB recommended Waxol as a "grease" on the extending/sliding back dipper of the 3cx diggers.

Those aldi discs are a strange size are they? My grinders take 115mm. Aldi discs are 125mm.

Found them to be pure dirt. No last in the 1mm disc at all.

We find it good for the boom of the teleporter. Leave it on the range and just pour/brush it on. Think we got it out of eci the first time when they recommended it.

Got the lidl discs before - pure junk the metal cutting ones. The kinda consaw disc for cutting concrete is a great buy though

st1979

Don't know anything about aldi discs but I get all super thin discs. Never use normal thickness now. Super fast for cutting then change to proper thick grinding disc if you need to grind something.
I get my discs from eBay.co.UK (.ie version useless) get 100 115mm discs for £40.

Was watching Shed and Buried on cable there earlier. Sam mentioned another product, I thought he called it " anchor wax" during a restoration and said it came from marine industry. Henry thought he was taking the pixx too but after googling it,turns out there is such a product as Ankor Wax!
I had a chuckle at that as reminded me of a pub in Acton Town where we used to have a few jars in olden days ...called the Blue Anchor and many's the laugh that name got.:D

Yes tried these for the first time recently. They look harmless but a great job l found. Two hands on the grinder job though and a good pair of welding gloves.

Bought them from Proweld (Colm Steel) in Athlone.

st1979

The thin disc and good battery grinder and you will rarely bother to plug in the ordinary electric grinder even in the workshop. So handy

Did a great bit of guntering yesterday. Flexi rubber pipe between the turbo and intercooler split in the girlfriends car and it had no power and covering the road in smoke. One roll of insulating tape later and it was back to normal. Will keep it going for a couple of days until I get a new one.

Anyone see or thinking of buying the Demolition Breaker in Aldi tomorrow for 150 euro ?
Wonder would it be any good and would it take standard chisels etc.
It's just anytime I hire out a Hilti from local tool hire is 50 euro a pop for any sort of job so this would be good value of its any good.
Have they been in before and anyone buy ?

If you are often hiring one for €50 I'd say go for the Aldi one. Save the hassle/time of going to the hire shop too. Keep the receipt for the 3 year warranty.

Bought one 8 years ago for my brother who was doing a lot of work on my late Uncle's house & farm. It lasted until last year when he gave it to a neighbour to break a hole into the chimney breast of an old house and he burned it out.
They are not a Hilti but will do the same job as long as you don't overwork them.

Anyone out there on how to pull a submersible pump up 340 ft? Ive tried pulling it up with the rope using the jeep and and 2 pulleys but there's serious strain on the rope. The pipe is 1" hg alkathene with a few non return valves fitted every 100ft I think so there's some serious weight to be lifted. Pump is running but no water reaching top of the well.
