Another fine gate, or is it a door?
It will be clad with 6 mm stockboard too.

Not Quite Farm Engineering or a Quick Bodge.

My recently acquired Zetor 7045 had been fitted with a Lucas ACR alternator (it didn't charge or, indeed, display any dash or any lights at all, but that's another story) Much re wiring later...
I found the alternator pulley to be misaligned with the crank & water pump pulleys, so turned up a couple of spacers to ensure belt (new) ran straight. Belt slipped for a good few seconds after a cold start so I looked further & found the crank & water pump pulleys were "B" section whilst the alternator & belt were "A" section - OK bad weather today so workshop time to make a new alternator pulley.
Turned one up out of some 3" alloy bar I had lying about & bored it to 15mm to suit the alty. Now last job to cut a keyway to fit the Woodruff key in the alty shaft. So far it has been "engineering", now it's time for the bodge!:-
I found that fitting 3 standard 24tpi hacksaw blades to the saw frame allowed me to cut a nearly perfect keyway in the pulley bore. Literally 2 minutes rub with a needle file got a perfect fit on the key
Pulley fitted fine & belt no longer squeals even though it's an A belt on all B pulleys I'll order a B belt tonight & keep the existing one for spare

Been welding up a walkway for beside the cattle race so that I can see over the top if required - still a work in progress and one of the others set about painting some of the legs the other night giving it an odd appearance at present. (and it is upside down).
Thats one hell of a walkway you could drive a tractor over that

OK - I'll do some tomorrow - I am not the sort of bloke who always has a phone on him, there's not much point here: no signal in the workshop or house!But there’s no pictures @pycoed
Here you go - apologies for the quality - the sun came out half way through my posed shots causing glare - we're not used to such phenomena in Wales!But there’s no pictures @pycoed
Right pulley: wrong belt
Finished boring
Near enough right
"Machining" setup
Taaa raaa!!
Sun's still shining so I'm off to brave the mud & feed the flight pond now
I've not shot it yet this year so I'll give a couple of mates a ring for tomorrow night.

Does the tread mesh lift off?

Yes, I wouldn't weld that on and spoil the galv, there are bits to stop it leaving the right place and sliding off though.
