That's a very posh job there. For a proper bodge I normally use springs from gate latches and string

Whilst at work today, a bearing went on the spud grader and I had to go change it. My large circlip pliers were at home and I couldn't be bothered doing the 20 mile round trip to go fetch them so bodged this, worked well too

@Pumba once got a request on Radio1 for being on his tractor, eating his yogurt with a banana as he had left his spoon at home.

Not a bad idea, I normally just fold the lid a couple of times and use that when I forget a spoon

Once had to eat a full portion of fish chips and curry sauce like that. Sauce had been well smothered before realising we had no feeding tackle. D'oh!!

Proper bodge yesterday.

End of run, lifted plough out, turned half way over, bang and back of plough dropped on floor, what the feck was that?

Shaft to adjust vari width snapped clean in 2. Nursed her back to the yard without ripping the lane up. Then, we had a cunning plan...

Got her bodged up yesterday, strengthened it up a bit this morn and its managed to get the last 7 acres done.

It's a very precise and neat repair job

Need to fabricate some brackets for this, onto the yellow pig. Don't need the weights on all the time.

yes but yellow one already has 1" sideplates on so need to make some to sit on outside of those and cranked in at the front.

Project counter weight for 7840, just need to grind down the welds and paint as it has passed the performance trials

 

[Nearly]

suspected so

After gentle digs on here about the welding have done what I've meant to for a LONG time, ordered new gas diffusers, tips, tip holders, shrouds and fitted new liner from stock.
If weld's no better it must be the shielding gas or the wire!
