    1970s Almett Grain Dryer parts

    Andy did you get a motor for this ? I have a single phase motor and gearbox that screws down to 13 rpm and up to 96 rpm , I think it would be about right if it was driving with a small sprocket to a larger sprocket , it is 1.5 hp It is in Fife if you want to see it

    Crimp pipe fittings

    Not had a good experience with them . Over time they can leak at the seal . They were ok or not so bad when hot . It's not always possible to get back on to recrimp . If you don't solder you would be better using compression fittings.

    Tanker puncture

    That's what I found , the tyre of was the easy bit. The tube was very heavy and hellish to work with , It was 1/2 inch thick if not more, the rubber protector round the wheel rim was also awkward It took a while

    Is Farm Assurance stressful

    We had one inspector who was a complete arsehole , After he got told not to come back the job became much easier . The next one was good to deal with and never made a big thing about any issues. If your standards are reasonable don't let them intimidate you

    Is the linkage on the operating lever all working ? Had a smaller 50 series do this and it was seized joint in the linkage not letting it engage fully

    Oil cooled welder

    Maybe worth lifting the lid to see the bottom of the box doesn't have water in it Be careful as the oil is carcinogenic

    Pto generator

    The 30 year old one will be fine for raw power giving heat and light but probably won't have auto voltage regulation which would be preferred for computers etc. If you but an engine driven try and get one that runs at 1500 rpm. Old British stand by sets are usually cheap for what they are...
