Not sure my creation is worthy of this thread but I’m after some knowledge, got fed up of strapping the quad spray tank on and off all the time so made a frame and welded the spray boom to it, now I want some sort of quick clamp to attach it to the quad rack, any ideas anyone?

Since you have asked on this thread, the only answer must be 'tie it on with used bale string' ?

Myself, I use a well placed ratchet strap, does the job.

Presumably one that you picked up from the side of the road!

No, taken off a gate propped up in a gateway, just remember to put it back on the gate when you have finished spraying

What about welding eyelets on the frame or making an "U" shaped eyelet to go under the frame to the bottom and some spring latches welded on the sprayer frame .

Couldn't get this in the lathe to skim the bronze flat on the old nashes steering drop arm thingy View attachment 824128 so bodged it with this View attachment 824129 working not too bad!View attachment 824130

Great idea!
I remember ordering some new bushes for those "Drop arm thingies" for an MF 65s industrial tractor (I didn't know what you called them either) " Oh you mean Kingpins!" Came the reply .

"Coffee Aided Design"

Doesn't that version of CAD normally water mark the drawings as they are made?

The water mark is optional.

When you really need a press but you have to make do with 2 tractors and a bottle jack

Now that's a good idea

 

[Oat]

is the one on the right a DB?

 

[Mur Huwcun]

Now that's a good idea

It’s a brilliant idea, if it wouldn’t of fitted in the press we would be struggling with blocks and the digger arm! Now that I’ve seen the brilliance of idea I will most probably never cone across the situation to use it now!!

 

[Boohoo]

Yes, that's our 996

won't get much simpler than a couple of small ratchet straps, but you could have a pin on each corner of sprayer frame that drops through corresponding holes on bike with Rclips or linch pins to hold it on
