God there's some pressure on shear grabs too isn't there?! Did it snap any of the tines blue? Using bales here for another fortnight and then will be s grab. I'll be peppering now seeing that til knock out a few blocks!!

For sale, two hydraulic rams (may suit log splitter) and one heavy tine.

You really need 4x4 box with a 12 or 13mm wall in it for a shear-grab. It's hard to get without ordering from a steel supplier.

You missed the other tine there nek

The straight blade on front definitely didn't help to ease the pressure either.

Did it fook. I think the dull crack of a tine tines snapping in a silage pit is my least favourite noise in the world.

Shear grab survived almost 30 years on the 5000, which developed a hydraulic lift issue last January. https://www.flickr.com/photos/blue5th/albums/72157674631570770

I changed it over to the 110-90, and let's just say I got carried away with the 50 extra hp under my right foot. Ended up feeding the last of the bulls with 2 tines:o.

Making up Grille guard for the front of a ford 4000 and bolting it into the threaded holes already on tractor( I presume they were for weight box originally). I have tried M20 bolts but they just won't thread on, anyone any idea what is the correct bolt? Is it an imperial/metric difference perhaps?

Probably BSP (british standard pipe) thread.Have similar problem here with 1960s british built tractors.
Unless Blue5000 has a few left over after fixing the backend try a vintage enthusiast they will know where to source them locally.

I'm nearly sure they are 5/8 across the thread, UNC. I'll check in the morning or you could ask here http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpbb3/viewforum.php?f=4

I find these a good source of imp bolts http://shop.aseriesspares.co.uk/product-category/fasteners-and-fittings/ or NH dealer might have them in stock

there a special type tread alright. I had to get them for my 5000 as well for a weight carrier. I got them in GWS in Ballincollig.

Wildsurfer

Thanks guys. Might give a run to GWS, looks like they have a big range of stuff... Love shops like that!

I have the coring kit , really paid its way over the last couple of years and easy use .
Most plumbers would be using the jointing kits for the types of piping used now instead of copper , brilliant job but you need to follow the instructions to a tee or insurance wont pay out down the line

Bullocks

I would'nt mind getting the inspection camera and that jetting tool either

Why didn't you put the brackets flush against the bucket....is your loader not crowding back far enough

It's the way the angle of the bars are. She will crowd back but I want the top level with the front edge when crowded back. Can pile the turf up well when it's back that far. If ya get me. I'll take a pic when I'm finished to show

Id say it's the opposite. When tipping the bucket it probably hits the new loader.
Hindsight is a great thing. If all the angles and dimensions were known beforehand the bucket could have been made to suit them.
I've lost count of the number of times we've had to do design changes to things.
The next built one always has a few tweaks to make it better

Are you in a panic for it or what? Most people are busy drawing in turf and you're thinking about drawing it out!!

My neighbour always buys a load of turf. He has a handy little shed right across from the kitchen door, that used to be a dairy. Fed up drawing the turf in by hand, he rebuilt the roof of the shed and now can take off half of it with the loader. Then fill the turf in across the wall with the 50b, and lift back on the roof panel again.

It sounds like you're all close enough to Cork city. There is a shop in at the end of the link into town called Brownlows, if you're ever stuck for odd ball threads or fittings they have a good stock but they're pricy. Worth it for that one odd ball fitting thats stopping the whole job

Nice looking job but such a pity to paint such nice clean steel, galvanize it, lifetime job and marginally more expensive than painting. :-)

Galvanise scrapes off. A gate or something else it would be worth it. Paint will tidy it to look neat, but like galvanised it will also scrape off.

I disagree Blue, there is some very tasty work and very novel solutions to problems posted here regularly that easily blur the lines between engineering and guntering. ☺

Colchester student 3 phase , peach of a machine and unfortunately not mine but I have access to it anytime I want which is nearly as good .

Nekarsulm

Lovely machine. Years ago I replied to an advert in the local paper, where the Tech. in Cavan were selling their 1Phase Colchester ChipMaster lathes.
Offers by sealed bid.
I missed out by less than 50 pounds

On the other hand, I did get an old flat belt drive milling machine from an elderly gent in Essex for 150 sterling. Probably dates from when Kaiser Bill was in charge in Germany.
Using it as a pillar drill ever since.
No.3 Morse taper.
Got a pen-pal into the bargain!
