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

    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.

    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

    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

    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
