No, thread the brocken part out of the fork and thread the other part in, drill hole and knock pin in then re assemble, you won’t get so much range in drop arm but will do to carry on till new part comes


You are spot on there

The roll pin was a sod to get out

Any one guess the price of a new threaded part.

Wheel fell off rollers today coming up to a road junction , had to be lifted home with manitou, made a nice little bang when it fell off and the wheel flew off about 50 yards missing 3 cars.

Not entirely me but sent mowers to mow a 35 acre block and an hour later SWW closed the road due to a water leak until sometime next week. Thanks SWW ☹☹☹☹

Water leak been running for months tho
Diversion isn't bad road. But It will add 5 miles on, I was surprised it was that far tbh

Your only cutting raking and baling with fusion, not like clamp where you got multiple trailers running.

Its frustrating as I have had it twice with "emergency" road works (resurfacing) where when got to road closed sign there was either no way round with equipment or no where to turn around at that junction!

We came across other end of closure, one click on

And I could tell where it was and drove past road closed sign.

If you speak to Mr C I expect you can run across his errish fields

Walked all along the last row I had done kicking the hay about looking foriit while waiting for OH to bring another out to me but couldn't find it .
Lot of new equipment now comes with balls bolted in place.
I've "lost" replaced then found again or forgot to send with old tractor balls to have set to leave on machines.

I await the next post about the new lynch pin when you flicked it over at 3 times the speed of light and caught your pinky! 😯😥

Did use Mr C’s for way out yesterday but wouldn’t dream of taking bales out across that way so will either stack them over there or wait untill road is opened again.

Reminds me of the time a wheel fell off the old hayzip when little sister was tedding a field of hay.

She didn't notice (she was only about 12 to be fair) and carried on. Used another tedder to turn another twice, father did that and never found the wheel.

I raked up with the 360 Haybob, avidly looking out for the wheel the whole time, and didn't find it.

Baled it up into idiot cubes expecting a big bang at some point, but it didn't come. Turns out the wheel was under a row and the pickup tines pinged back over it. Left it on the ground and didn't break anything. Couldn't believe it!
 
Had to combine some unripe barley this aft to get it out of the way, couldn't stop the combine from chucking it over the back.

Moved across the road into some wheat, still chucking it over the back??
Checked everything, crawled around underneath it and inside, sieves not blocked etc etc.

Carry on, still bad.
Had another look inside, twigged that the top sieve was not moving when I moved the switch, even though it said it was.

Then when walking back to the van in the other field I noticed I'd left a triangle.

I could cry.
