Help before husband finds out!

Luckily tuckwells are on harvest hours, have phoned and they have a new ram on the shelf, have left it in front of workshop so I can put it back together ASAP in morning. Thank god its rained so won't be needing it to load bales in the morning. Husband not to bad when told as I had already sorted replacement, I only went to repair a fence post the bulls had trashed!!! Had a lecture on not using the headstock to push a post in.

Your fine using headstock to push posts in not so good using locking pin ram

It's ok,I was pushing a post in with a JCB 520-50 and caught the boom pipes on another post.

£600+vat for new pipes.

It looks like you have knocked the threads off the lower one so will need some remedying with a welder and new fitting

You won’t weld that you’d have to braze it welder creates to much heat and f**ks the seals

You won’t weld that you’d have to braze it welder creates to much heat and fudges the seals

Or disassemble the ram.

With the urgency of the thread title I thought there was a dead horse involved......

I thought there was a milkman/ postman/ dairyman in the wardrobe!!......

I don't get why people get so angry at other people when things break. (Unless your a clumsy fudge who breaks things all the time and isn't getting any better at not breaking stuff in which case don't drive things in the first place!) Yes it's annoying but no one does it on purpose.
EVERYONE breaks something at some point no matter how good they are. If they say they don't they are either lying or don't use their stuff.
No one got hurt and you won't do it again will you!
Getting angry never fixed anything did it. It probably slowed down fixing it if anything.

Some people just tend to break things more often than others. Know of one that drives on fields like a complete jackass and has mower cutter bars bent two to three times per summer. But that's just between that ones ears, ain't nobody telling him to slow down.

I'd say your husband won the lottery the day he found you, and is still winning.......
Despite this minor indiscretion .
That would weld, but needs to be a weldable fitting because some weld horribly porous.
Fit new one and repair this one for next time.
Guess new one £200?

If you’ve never broken anything you’ve never worked either.

Then he shouldn't be driving the machinery in the first place. If it's his own stuff then let him crack on.
I find being the one who pays for the repairs or having to do them yourself is a good incentive to break less stuff.

In my relationship, it would clearly be titled...."Help, Before the Wife finds out!"

Repaired you have a spare. Sometimes you can get away with welding a new fitting without disassembly if the repair is far enough away from the gland and the piston is moved as far away as possible.

 

[Barleycorn]

yeah if your gonna push posts in use the loader bucket filled with hardcore they go in much easier and can’t break nothing

Be a bit careful, a while back a chap got killed lining up the post for his mate to push it in, pins weren't in properly on the headstock, and the bucket came off and squashed him.

Yep a post driver is for driving posts
