Bit of welding here today

It looks like he can lift up the scraper with the ram in the front but where's the lever or button that controls the ram?

Or is that only a pneumatic strut to allow it follow and put weight on the ground?

Confused so I am.:)

Must be having a blonde moment.

The ram is of course letting it up and down. Just like it was doing so when there was a mower on the front of it.

There is a button on the right side armrest that works a valve to lift and lower the scraper.
Ill have to look and see if you can press down with the ram also.

The ram works sideways, a kind of a scissors action. The pins coming through the scraper head are designed to be able to move sideways as it lifts .

There are 2 button type pedals on under your left foot that were used to turn on and off oil to the 2 front mower heads. You can see the hydraulic outlets on the front of the machine.

You could plumb in a rotary brush to sweep the ends of the cubicles if you wanted, but his cubicles have a rear down bar so its not practical.

A mate of mine built this yard scraper. Handiest thing ever! Hydrostatic greens mower that had had it's cylinder mowers scrapped.

If he looks quick on dd he can buy a set of gangs for that exact mower.ðŸ˜

It's Reggie..... He just cleans each one individually with a toothbrush at the end of every day

I remember reading a book once about Ireland in the 1940's.
The Priest would have a Mass at the authors house once a year, and as well as the usual tidying up etc, the writers mother would wash the gravel around the front of the house in a bucket of warm soapy water in the days leading up to the event .....

It's been said before but I'll say it again, Reggie you should be banned from the guntering thread.
The only thing that I can see in that picture that qualifies as guntering is the bucket hanging off the trees in the background.

He is a clotty fecker Ye don’t know 1/3 of the truth

Earlier this year, there was a day where he didn’t hand wash the tractor.

I have to keep you on your toes.:p

Maybe a wall with variegated ivy to cover very quickly and some grass down to the retaining bottom wall?
Lawnmower with a mulcher then to keep it tidy during the year instead of the knapsack?
Bit of calcium lime on the grass to start and then follow on with a covering of dolerite and then dark green grass for the year.

The fence would be better i suppose to see if anyone was in the yard when they shouldn't be.

Went on a 1hr 15 mom round trip on the tractor today. iPod plugged in. Phone charging.

Got home. And went out and did 5 hours work then.

If I was to go in an old tractor I’d not have taken on the job at all.

The Rabbi

The calving pen here has a headlock set up so that if a cow goes down you can pull out the small pin from the sliding yoke on top.Then the upright can be lifted out of the bottom cup and moved to one side.A little safer than trying to get a pin out from under a cows head.

Got a red Makita random orbit sander about 8 months ago. It’s diy Makita opposed to the blue as it’s aimed at the diyer instead of the trade.
Well anyway the backing velcro pad started coming away so I took it apart and guntered a new one from a 3/4 inch lump of scrap and a velcro pad.
It’s nothing pretty but it works!
