Why have they fallen off?

They cast them every year and grow a new set.

Not entirely Shure on that one usually one falls of then the other a day or so later might have been having a bit of a thrash about? he actuality stood over them for a day before he moved away.

I think I’d be pretty distraught too....

Amazing amount of energy must going into growing them, only to cast them annually. Impressive stuff!

To be fair I don’t have it crash that often and I’m on a exceptionally old pc. 10 years in fact.
If it does crash it’s mainly because I’m rushing to much on a big project and not giving it time to update the other files down the line.

My biggest hate is it’s translators for step iges xt/parasolid from or to other systems. Now that I do get frustrated with.

Axle droped down and stripped the offending items out in under two hours.

Then rang dick turpin aka main stealers all we needed was a new uj and a yoke, they're not available separately so a new shaft is £300, they don't have one in stock but will have one for first thing in the morning.

You could probably have that shaft rebuilt buy a specialist propshaft remanufacturer, but I doubt you’d save much, if anything, £300, from a main dealer is not a bad price, imo....and you wouldn’t get it tomorrow

robbie · Apr 13, 2018

I don't need it rebuilt by anyone I can do that. Two new ujs at £15 each maximum from local bearing place and a new yoke which happens to be made by GKN and I'd be sorted it definitely wouldn't cost £300.

I totally agree with you, I’d feel the same, and certainly not worry about needing anyone to put a prop together. But if you can’t buy the parts then sometimes there’s no choice but to get the shaft remanufactured from a third party, who will also balance it if need be.
There also looks like a dent in the tube of your original prop, which could possibly effect its balance.

Your stuck buying the genuine item, and that’s always an uncomfortable place to be, but I think the price is reasonable, for what it is, and delivered tomorrow, not to bad

Karliboy · Apr 13, 2018

Market with 4 bulls tomorrow just been around some fields
Still very wet underfoot as it’s still been showering a lot in past 24hrs but things are starting to green up.
Hopefully get some Fert on on Sunday and get some use out of next weeks sunshine.
