A few workshop jobs.

You should market them as that is a very common thing to go. I’m on my 3rd or fourth one on NH5060

Maybe I should knock a few up and put them on eBay!

 

[Larel]

Oops but all good in the end!

Why oh why do you put the grease nipple On the inside of the cross?

I need to rotate the nipple by 90 deg yet but I'm hoping that it will line up with the hole in the guard. Time will tell!!

HA HA HA HA HA, Thanks for the belly laugh, brightened my day.

A wee project for a mate, pallet toe extensions for his Merlo.

 

[Larel]

More work on the pallet toes, now finished, left the painting to the customer, but not expecting it will happen

 

[Larel]

Next project for the same Merlo is an adaptor frame to take euro and Trima buckets

It started out as a euro carriage, some channel and Merlo brackets.

He wanted it attached to the pins so it could be reclaimed at some time in the future

Ready for use as with euro attachments, next to attack the carriage with a cutting disc to see if I can make it accept Trima hooks

Have you got / do you need a Euro headstock?

Workshop getting smaller(letting out one end) so had to move welding table. All 1.5t

Have you got / do you need a Euro headstock?

I haven’t bought one yet , but just about too

 

[Larel]

I made a couple of collars to fit on the top bar as the Trima hooks are bigger than the euros

 

[Larel]

Next was moving widening the gap at the bottom as the eyes on the bottom of the Trima sit narrower than the euro. Also durnthe geometry of the Trima the bottom bar needs to move back so first thing was to weld on temp straps to hold the cheeks in the correct place and remove the bottom bar.

 

[Larel]

Then cut a bit out of the bracket for the pins and make the gap larger so it will accept the euro and Trima eyes.

 

[Larel]

Brackets for the eyes welded back in place and the bar tacked in place. The bar was on and off a few times to get the correct placement. I had a set of euro hooks but had to keep going back to my mates to try on the Trima buckets as he was using them daily.

Collars split so they can be welded in place

 

[Larel]

Trial fitting.

 

[Larel]

I decided that there was too much slack on the locking pin on the merlo end. (Read that as I welded the cross member in the wrong place!) so made a shin to weld into the top of the locking plate.

The auger bucket pictured below was a bit problematic, the Trima brackets on it seemed to have tighter tolerances so I have to move the bottom bar again and rotate the eccentric sleeves on the top bar

Final trial fitting before wedding and gusseting everything

Anybody know of somewhere near Stockport that I can buy small box section steel in lengths. I have a brenderup 1150 trailer I want to make some side extensions on
