A few photo's of a fork I made for my Ferguson 20 a while ago. the ESB changed poles and left all the old steel in the ditch behind them, 2 or 3 months after poles were put up and no sign of them collecting the steel I got it so it only cost a cutting disc and a few rods.

I was surprised that the old Ferguson could lift a round bale of Hay and also that
the forks held. It's got plenty of use so far.

Now that's proper gunthering

I was giving out to herself a week ago that the midges and horse flies were terrible that they had my arms and head destroyed. Big red welts, horrid itchy and sore.

Then it dawned on me a few days later that l'd been using the angle grinder with just a tee shirt and not a cap that was ever known !!!

Have you tried any steel suppliers? They might get a few lengths in. How much do you need?

Not much. 6 foot would probably do me.

Quick one. Can you use standard angle grinder/chop saw discs to cut aluminium?

Nekarsulm

Yes but it's a very rough cut, with a "burr" raised on the edges. Will open your hand like a razor blade. If possible, get an engineering place to chop it with the guillotine.

An engineering place will chop off a three inch strip of mild steel and then put a 90 degree bend in it. Probably be able to "close" it over to what you want.

Clutch in the strimmer is sticking here and the head is turning the whole time. I took it apart and there's a bit of rust on it that's making it too stiff to close in when it's idling. Can anything be done with it to loosen it out or is it fecked? Tried to find a replacement one online but can't find one, strimmer is a stihl fs260 if anyone can help.

Go to your local dealer he will have one that was run on too lean a mix and get the clutch out of it.

Just a little spring loaded catch for the gate on a chute.
Will be able to open it from the far end, by way of a rope.

Has anyone used the Zinc/Galvanize aerosol from Lidl?

patsy_mccabe

Did you form that circular ring? If looks like it is welded.

Nekarsulm

Cut from an old HayBob tine, the weld is just to take the sharp edge off it.

I use the floor mats from the playroom when I'm under machines etc. Cheap lidl/aldi yokes. Serious comfort instead of concrete esp if the knees are on the way out.

A lad on twitter used them for the pit in the parlour.

bit of a problem with a nut and bolt, i've a nut insert that is stuck into something, cannot be cut out and replaced, but the bolt i have is too small, the bolt is attached to something and it cannot be cut and a bigger one welded on.

can the bolt be built up using thread repair pieces? Basically turning an m4 bolt into a m5 or m6

I had to read that a few times..

A helicoil may well do the job for you..

Maybe a photo or two of the setup would yield some ideas.. unless its some S&M equipment.... then we need videos

Can you get a drill in at the nut? If you can, re-thread it and use a bigger bolt to suit the tap. Not 100% sure what you have to be honest.

I used a set of the Lidl ones on a light pallet for the 5 bag Vicon and they are fine. A blue Chep pallet is not a light yoke to move!

The lidl ones might do the trick. At a fiver it's worth a punt and sure get something stronger if needs be.

The chep pallets are heavy but I'm hoping it will withstand a bit of abuse!!!
