Have an older Yamaha Grizzly in the shed that the lower front wishbones had rotted through. New ones are silly money and ebay ones are not much better. Dad had carried on with it after one broke an disintegrated the CV boot and joint so a pair of wishbones, CV joint, boot, battery and few other bits were going to be a pricey item!! Cut the bushes off, cut the tappered bush out of old ones and threw a jig together on bench from offcuts and used offcuts from the bandsaw to throw these together!! Will see how it works out…..

nice job fair play, Is the voltage regulation good enough on that generator to give nice clean stable voltage, good enough for the electronics that we have today
Is it single or 3 phase generator, Im on the lookout for one hence the question

It's a 20kva single phase Genny, not had a problem with it here, mind you not much in the way of electronics on the milking parlour here.

We had one the same make, computers didn't like it at all, that was thirty odd years ago though.

we have a 150kva Genset for backup power. Have to turn the variable speed drive on the vacuum pump to manual or else all the cups drop off a few times mid milking. The drive is obviously very sensitive...

Has anyone got a quick bodge for filling half ton seed bags?i was thinking an auger,bit slow I thought,then thought about a Ibc with the bottom cut out and use the top to fill the bag?anyone any other ideas?
How many? If it's only a few then a bucket. No seriously! it wouldn't take long to fill and would be much quicker than setting something better up. You can move half a tonne in less than 10 minutes with a 10 litre bucket. But you wouldn't want to do a lot of it

I'm afraid it's a bit more than I'd like to do with a bucket,but I've son I could ask if he'd fill them with a bucket but I can imagine the answer!How many? If it's only a few then a bucket.

If your filling of a heap in shed and have two loaders, put tha bag on one loader with pallet tines on and use the other loader for filling
put the bag near or above the product your loading

They have the small holes on the top of the bag for 1/2 ton seed bags so that won't work I'm afraid.
It would be the same answer I would give you. About 10 years ago I emptied (over about 4 months) a 50tonne bin of barley augered out into a hole in the ground and then into a bucket into a bag to be fed out. It was only meant to be temporary till we did something better but it never happened. I've not filled that bin since
