quick fixes, bodges and creations

[milkloss]

Now that's an extension hopper

Starting to rot a little as can be seen by the bracket on the top right holding the board together. Good bodge for the cost of 2 sheets of 3/4 ply and some 2x2”

 

[chickens and wheat]

L-ion battery upgrade plus an extra 6v

its a bit furry just tested it under the lawnmower, hence extension on g-coupler

Market traders clip make ideal tool for holding ratchet straps on

 

[spanners and hammers]

you need a hook buddy

 

[beltbreaker]

Lathe crofter style, the shaft on the Powerflow was turning on the bearing and wearing it down so my mate came up with this to grind down the end evenly. Worked a treat

Truly shocked

You can't repair celotex with Jaf patches.... they won't stick!
Nor will black silage tape!

Bit of plastic can and clear mastic, baler twine until it dries .................

yea and duct tape wont hold on trouser legs. i got a pair of trousers that was too long in the leg, the maintenance dept was on strike, something about industrial relations
and wheather the boss was the boss or just a figurehead, i dont know, i is a bit unclear what the cause was. anyway these new trousers was the last nearly clean pair
available, and so i found a bag needle and stiched them round with a bit of cord off a hesston bale [ see nothing usefull gets wasted here]
this passed un noticed till at the checkout at morrissons, that was the first time in years we did the 8 miles to home in 9 mins, think the last time i must have been on a promise
and i was driving, i bet with a lend of the cornish blokes porcsh i might be able to still do it in under 9

Finally fed up trundling our three ton digger around at walking pace! takes me half a day to get to any gateway so trying to convert an old ster log trailer assuming it doesn't just collapse. Just cut of and about to weld on a new hitch, then deck out with something.

 

[Mursal]

Best keep us updated, in case we miss something

 

[sawdust]

I think that qualifies as a bodge on its own, before you even start bodging...

Like The Big Bang ?

God loves a tryer

But hates a chancer

To qualify for a bodge , the wheels must be a ring cut from an oak tree.......

But he'd need to get the wife to sit in it whilst traveling, to keep checking the main lift rams as they creep down...

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Fitted hyd ram to lift drive wheel on combi, quick flick of the leaver stops the seed roller so you can work a bit of land or if you need to stop sowing for any reason, just need to measure with a bit of string the length of pipe I need to keep it tidy and out of harms way
