Fert was was starting to eat into the chassis rails where brackets were bolted on.
We did the blasting with a borrowed blaster. That's not a job I'd want every day of the week!

She's done 5.5k. The old powder coating pain was suffering quite badly. It was worse than it looks in the pictures.
After blasting it got an etch primer, couple of under coats then 3 top coats. We then mounted all the bracketry on and sealed them up. The painter then did the same again! So most of the chassis has had 12 coats of paint.
Our newer machine has a much better paint job, so hopefully won't need doing for a while.
The wheels do look smart now. Why do wheels only ever seem to have 1 coat of paint on? The rust creeps through in no time.
I can't help you with the rubber A frame bush as we have not done one yet.

It does make you wonder how they get to the price they are.
I wonder if they'll sell me my next one in kit form?

It looks like you have you fitted hydraulic rams on the chassis for demounting? Looks a good idea.

I reckon you should build one from scratch! Source parts at agritechnica.

Big socket fractionally smaller diameter than housing but fits onto metal bit of bush then threaded rod through socket, bush and AFrame with steel plate on other end then screw whole thing together and that should pull the bush into the A frame.
Some of the earlier models had a grub screw type thing holding the bush in place.
Multidrive's looking good chaps, I like the look of that KRM de-mount frame. Well done

thanks for the info croppers on the bush will need done soon, suspension gets hammered a bit at the lime job. Krm spreader seems to have passed the trials with flying colours hardly left a wheelmark and ground is pretty wet here. Bredal lime body back on Monday

No pretty stable Jim I would go on hills that I probably would think twice about taking a tractor onto to be fair with the big wheels on it is quite wide which helps a lot
