You'll struggle on here with puns like that M8.

Looks a bit more like m10

Can the bodgeless post be stripped from this thread?

Playing devil's advocate: the thread title allows for "quick fixes" or "bodges" or "creations"

That argument has been made many times.....but offenders usually end up being chased from the thread with a big bat!

A big bat? Surely not, they are actually made for hitting things. A true evangelical bodger would find something far more imaginative to use instead.

Fails:-
1 Presence of paint on the item
2 Use of a new bolt
3 Use of a drill properly (hole drilled centrally , I suspect the use of a ............... (whisper) lathe?
4 Use of a tap
5 Fitting a NEW nipple
6 Use of a nipple implies the use of grease: Surely the biggest fail of all?

Good work mind, just wrong thread - I bet most of them on here have got your pic as wallpaper now

No lathe just a centre punch and a cordless drill [emoji33] the paint is because it’s a new machine (last year) so you would hope the paint is still on

Looks like the forum swear filter isn't working properly!

I had some feed delivered in bigbags. With the pallet fork I couldn't get it far enough from the ground so I made a bigbag lifter from scrap and cut offs lying around.

Cutting those tines off is verging on criminal behaviour

First plan was to get them out but accept for one they where really stuck. Since I had no use for them I decided to go the easy way and cut them off.

Don't throw them away, they are great for use as crowbars.

How many crowbars does one man need????

 

[Gerbert]

About a muckgrabs worth.
With so many, chances are you'll find one back before you are able to lose them all.

There's always one manages to fall down the back of the settee.

There’s dozens of those cranked time crowbars where I go and work. The sheargrab somehow breaks the nuts off the back eventually so there’s a lifetimes worth of tines. There one in most places round the farm and often one on a tractor cab floor of stuck in the towing point on the front linkage.

How about a big adjustable wench?

Old round ones out of twose buckrakes are the best. A lot of the gate bolts in the heavy gates in the stock yards here are made from them
