Don't forget the TFF discount!

Sorry Dave not meaning to get your hopes up- I just bought a hedge cutter last week for looking after my verges. I'm sure you will soon find a buyer for it though.

In fact would it not be perfect for DB John- he could graft it on to the front of the 1594:ROFLMAO:

IMG_0873.JPG Finally got front press painted and a few mods from trial last season, plus springs to assist in folding wings, can be used as 5 meter for in front of powerharrow or folded up for in front of 3 meter combi. Tried to make it as close coupled as possible as we have a fair bit of road work, spent about £400 on getting bits profile cut and 5 meters of box section, the rest was found round farm. Tyres are solid fork lift tyres, not bunged it up yet, might have to find some flexible one if it gets too wet.

Hi all,

I am in the process of doing up a set of dual wheels for our loader.

When fitting the eye nuts do you think it would be ok to drill 3 new holes in between the slots or would I be safer making up slots with a 16mm hole in them and using the existing slots?

The dish of the rim is 10mm and the outside to outside distance between the slots is 105mm.

The holes would me 16mm for an M16 bolt

I think you'd struggle to get a slot shaped washer perfect and then it may move and wear. Maybe better to get a giant washer made that goes around the whole of the rim with the slot shaped washers welded to it. It would only be two lumps then - the wheel and the adaptor.
