[QUOTE="bitwrx, post: 7145906, member: 86972"] We need to stir some slurry under the slats in the pig sheds, but we're too cheap to buy a proper tool. So I've "developed" this economical alternative. One second hand submersible agitator (ex AD plant, end of life for them, just worn in for us). New start-delta contactors, cable and plug. Two lengths of new steel. One short piece of re used scrap steel. Three offcuts of new steel from another project. Seven new stainless bolts, 12 new washers and five new nuts. Two new lifting shackles (stainless, natch), and the chain block we bought years ago but hardly ever use. Four new casters (the cheapest ones that would feasibly do the job). Here she is: [ATTACH type="full"]908941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]908942[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]908943[/ATTACH] Handles terribly, but that's probably just because our workshop floor is rough as F. Not a bodge because I used new steel and fasteners. Not farm engineering because it seems I've forgotten how to weld with the stick welder at some time over the past 15 yrs, which was the last time I used the old Pickhill Bantam for anything. Will be interesting to see whether it actually works or not... [/QUOTE]
