There was a 4000 there before the 165, it arrived with the pedals bolted together. Fudge that I though, straight to the workshop and grinder,was a very good tractor after thatindependent brakes?

This is verging on bodge but I used the lathe so it's engineering.
One knackered uj with hexagon centre (dealer only part, many £££)
And a standard bondioli to the rescue

The centre of the new uj was round so a shoulder on the old one and it all centred up nicely.
Weld together and paint it looks like new!

To get all the faces true and square
Ah well.........i see
bloody nice bit of going round the bend welding by the way
No. The new one had the machined ring for the pro guard at the bottom otherwise it would've been a 4 jaw jobDid you manage to hold the new uj in a 4 jaw chuck?

Wouldn't have been too bad. Yoke had a round centre to work to.That would have been an 'event', getting that lined up in a 4 jaw!
I poo-pooed this thread - I was wrong, that was a very tidy piece of work that many on the bodges creations thread would have shouted down because they wanted to do it but couldn't.This is verging on bodge but I used the lathe so it's engineering.

We got Masons to make one for our NH85 which is, of course, the dogs doodahs. Have a set of brackets to make another one to go on front linkage one day. You're welcome to come and have a look at both for inspiration and pattern if you want. Dawsons farms have a masons one on a 3cx and it's as quick as the telehandler. Big bugger mind almost 2t of wheat.Update on the bucket and bracket conversions.
Finished grain bucket (apart from paint )
