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

    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!! :D

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Milton this is engineering, not guntering. You are waaaaaaaaaaay over-qualified for this thread.:)

    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. ☺

    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!

    Seldom buy the "Farmers Weekly", but the current issue (2 December) has a few pages of inventions made by farmers. Very interesting.

    Not a labour saving idea but more a mess prevention measure. Tip I learned years ago as apprentice.
    The next time you buy a bag of tie wraps/cable ties DO NOT open the end of the bag but cut a slot in the middle of the bag. Just stick in2 fingers and pull out ties as needed. Messy things if they spill out accidentally.

    Added stainless strip to hand scraper to stop curve spreading out. Pic of old one I did years ago too. They should make the whole scraper from stainless.

    Tasty job with the aluminium strip. I use a flat edged one with the wings for pushing in the silage, the yard brush just isn't strong enough!
