Had to get this "interference fit" shaft out on combine

Got it drilled out and tapped to take a 12mm thread, and made a puller out of an old bit of pipe

20170724_221733.jpg Guess this qualifies for a bodge, the exhaust had started shaking around the bottom of the silencer stack, thought it ok to carry on for a bit, but yesterday the bottom of the bend blew, and exhaust gasses burnt a hole in the battery cover, so had to to something in a hurry, bits of pipe and the 3cx exhaust pipe. £465 for the bottom bend pipe from Massey! And over £600 for the box, I'll fabricate and repair the existing bits when I've more time.

Wasn't sure where to put this...

Found a reel of 3 core and earth wire (brown, grey and black) - what's stopping me putting a plug on one end and a socket on the other and making an extension lead?

In all seriousness if it's solid copper i.e. 1 single strand rather than twisted multi strand then don't. It's not designed to be bent constantly. Soon it will fracture and arc up inside. Bad news
