Today at work

[Mursal]

Axle droped down and stripped the offending items out in under two hours.

Then rang dick turpin aka main stealers all we needed was a new uj and a yoke, they're not available separately so a new shaft is £300, they don't have one in stock but will have one for first thing in the morning.View attachment 658812

Kramp click do a range of universal joint crosses, they go on the diameter of the end caps and the measurement across the ends with two caps on. Well worth a look ..........
Hopefully the dimensions are not oddball, but easily measured as the shaft is out

 

[Mursal]

Do I now see a piece broken out of the shaft?

 

[colhonk]

It`s the yoke he needs I think.

 

[Mursal]

Yes sorry about that, thought it was only the cross that broke free ..........
If I had to read the thing correctly

 

[colhonk]

Actually,Am worrying if this is a thing with Case tractors, as it is not the first I have heard of.will have to maybe crawl under mine for a looksee.

April is flying by and we are all fed up of the “April Showers” by now. Still Mr Weatherman says we are in for rising temperatures and maybe a wee bit of sunshine next week.

Weather aside, the DW Clark gang marches on, the oversite works north of Stratford has grown, as has the amount of drainage and sewer pipes we have been asked to put in.

A new job near Alcester installing around about 800 metres of 50mm water pipe has started. Careful in the garden then trenching through the fields to the nearest meter.

We have piped up an open ditch with 1050mm Ø twin wall pipe. Flood mitigation works, a new building is planned adjacent to the ditch and the client wants to avoid any possible flooding.

A bit of ditching near Quinton, Stratford upon Avon. We were putting up a fence on this site last week and had one of those, “Oh whilst you have your digger on site, any chance you could just . . . . ” phone calls. Of course we can, we are DW Clark, a lot more than just drainage.

Another great weeks lads, thanks for all you graft, have a fabulous weekend . . . I know I will if I can as lucky as the boss lady. The only person I know who could back a 3 legged blind former pit pony with a 60 year old, 25 stone, drunk jockey wearing flip flops and still win!!

I nearly lost a wellie trying to walk a field that's going into lucerne a couple of days ago! I think it'll be a couple of weeks before it'll carry the sprayer, never mind the drill.

Another wet day, so got my chippy hat on and made some honey supers up for the beehives.

150 frames made up so far, 450 more to go.

Transferred a bag of corn silage to a silo this am

I'm the guy here running the Armstrong shovel

I know it's only a 50 ft. silo, but I always gain a new respect for the likes of Fred Dibnah

had to climb up to adjust distributor, several times [emoji38]
