Having made a welded repair to the drive cable on my 3 m Einboch seeder (because I am tooo tight to pay £200 for a new one;))
,I see it has now come apart again .
Because it had sheared off at the very end where it joins , ( as I had not seen that the bracket holding it steady and paralell to the drive wheel had slipped down )I had drilled out the wire from the end lug ,inserted the wire again ,and tacked it ,then reversed the whole drive cable so that the repair was protected more at the top!!
Just wondered ,and I appreciate that it might be difficult to say ,but would a braized repair be a better option , as would the braize fill the gaps between the wire and end lug?
Tinman ,is this too old tech for you??
