Well , things have been happening around here , anyway here's a picture up date i think its the fastest way to bring you up to speed , I will start with . A spud planter

The box was easy I rolled steel bar into the edges to stiffen it up and cut out and re-made the tray bottom

Then did some work on the main frame , turned out this planter was three different planters thrown together

so I had to re-design it and make it all work properly , good fun,

The top part of the frame comes from the planter with the long shelf across the top

so with a few mod`s it now holds the box nicely

that seat mount was a double to start with but with a quick cut and shut it works

putting the shoots through the box is easy IF you mark it up right

And now for a mill loader with a few problems as you will see " A bodge is an understatement "

check this out joins at there best ,

don't you just love it , and the other side

The main frame was just as good

yes that weld cuts in, any way after i ground it all out and re-welded it then plated it

i had a nice main frame you can see the new plate work on the joint ,

the catch had to go it didn't work properly the lever points where all wrong so I made a new one

the problem you have is moving that pin with the bucket full , and that brings me to the bucket

was rusty and worn out , and so I made this one

ho yes , I had some 6mm checker plate so I saved the man some money

then the front fork i started with this

Nice and the bucket was the same state , and the fork ended up like this

I'm so bad , OK fairly good , it what i do ,

now for the tricky bits these little suckers , The rams the seals had gone and they had filled

up with water , you can see the water level mark ,

so after hunting down some rams ,to do the job I then had to make them fit cutting off the ends

and making them shorter and getting the stroke right was all good fun , I used push pull rams just in case

in future the own wanted to power the main frame down to , anyway these are the rams i made up

so their you have it , other stuff Ive been doing re-building carbs and distributor's from Canada

s/steel choke rods with brass knobs , more half shafts , and re-built a T bar

well thats it , for now.
