Slotting the legs

[willcam98]

Hi could someone show how they have slottted the legs on a kverneland mz/ me plough

I will post a photo tomorrow. To do it I think a carbide tipped endmill/slot drill will be required, KV metal does not machine that well, though laser cut may be ok, if the tops of the holes are left as drilled.

How much more could be taken out of the original slots?

There are no original slots, just two holes!

How much did you slot your legs by Harry would 30 mm be plenty

Evening,
wide one is 3 " long, narrow 2.5" they were put in by previous owner, but seem to work ok.You will need some method of lifting them, screw thread is by far the best, if you like, when I have rebuilt my plough I will send you photos of that. If doing any welding on your plough, use stainless rods or Mig wire, routile rods dont go well, seem to change to cast iron in the joint, not all that strong!

What would you use for drilling it I’ve tried rotabroch cutters but they won’t touch them

I had the work done by a machine shop. To mod the frogs for the 25s I used a tungsten carbide burr.

Will be , if I can make them work! Have a few people who can help there though so I live in hope. I had the chance to change, and it was a now or never thing, so I took the plunge. Doing the change has, however
shown up a bent front leg, which I couldn`t correct with shimming (well spacing!) the frog, it had gone in two directions!
Another factor is that I have plenty of good practise land available, so should be able to iron out all the faults before matches start.

Well wish you all the best with them be interesting to see what you prefer

Being very much in my "Twilight years", and having done a very poor job at Nocton, something had to be done. A once in a lifetime chance presented its self in my suddenly being able to finance the change, another bit of good news was the being allowed the use of a large flat field for practise.

Much of a difference between Super Hydrein and No. 25?
