Hmmm, what about the plug, bottle bouncing up and down on that not good.
Nice work, What is the model of engine/gearbox and where did you get it? What size is the sower? and finally if you were doing it again what would you do differently? Ta.In the paint shop

What way do you get in at the timing chain on the poor wee Honda Quad?
Is that a 450cc as i have friends one that spits back and backfires at tickover am sure its timing chain as that would cause the symptoms, is it not better to remove the engine, also you speak of removing flywheel is that a puller job...
I've often thought how useful a trailer like that would be....Trial fit, just got to replace the fence posts with something more permanent...View attachment 852272
yes big bag firt comes to mind or perhaps round bales ust draw along side and pick them up and unload at the other endI've often thought how useful a trailer like that would be....
I'm hoping my fertiliser days are over but, as you say, leave for the field with 12T of fertiliser and the spreader on the trailer, crane the spreader off and drop the trailer, hitch the spreader then load yourself using the crane. Also very useful for collecting bargains from farm sales...yes big bag firt comes to mind or perhaps round bales ust draw along side and pick them up and unload at the other end
separate drive or tractor driven ?I'm hoping my fertiliser days are over but, as you say, leave for the field with 12T of fertiliser and the spreader on the trailer, crane the spreader off and drop the trailer, hitch the spreader then load yourself using the crane.

That's pretty much the plan, for feeding seed + fert drill, and fert spreader, less time waiting on loaders, more time sowing/spreading hopefully. Working on a wee donkey engine to run it too.I'm hoping my fertiliser days are over but, as you say, leave for the field with 12T of fertiliser and the spreader on the trailer, crane the spreader off and drop the trailer, hitch the spreader then load yourself using the crane.

Or a set of long hoses you could couple to a spare tractor valve just for loading?That's pretty much the plan, for feeding seed + fert drill, and fert spreader, less time waiting on loaders, more time sowing/spreading hopefully. Working on a wee donkey engine to run it too.
Yeah, that's being thought about as an option too.Or a set of long hoses you could couple to a spare tractor valve just for loading?
I did this to run an auger unload trailer for bulk fertiliser, worked well, used flat face couplings on a bracket to the side of the spreader, if you incorporate a ball valve on the pressure line you can pressure the spool, then connect the pipes before opening the valve so saving getting in and out so much. (Shut the valve before disconnecting and you are ready for the next cycle)Yeah, that's being thought about as an option too.
