What are you up to in the workshop?

[Crystal 8011]

I'm thinking of doing a refurb on a quicke 2560 front loader, the two lift rams have the chrome rods facing forward, it won't lift a bale of silage this way. but just noticed on google images that the rods are facing back, would that change the lifting power?

It'll make no difference

Same ram , same difference .

Hardly worth the hastle so if it won't lift a bale

Always found them old quicke loaders gutsy back in the day, more likely to lift the back of the tractor than fail to lift
Are you sure the tractor hydraulics aren’t at fault?

Has been on 2 tractors here and has never lifted a silage bale.

A 2560 has a 2 position boom, is it in the shortest configuration, it would have more lift capacity if it was.

View attachment 97002View attachment 97003There’s the one I’ve made up and the way it leaves it, getting the angle just right to get the wraps the right width is the only real trick. If I can I try either jam something in the end or just try pull the pipe so it tightens enough to get it in the drill Chuck and use it to wind it through then

I seen something too ,while back now mind

Cant remember how you put the pipe though it🤦‍♂️

I think there was another one that was a length of steel pipe with a hole in the side and a nut welded over the hole, then screw in a sharpened bolt into it to cut the pipe?

Cross gone in the inner joint hoping it’ll be alright with a new cross and that there’s nothing else going astray in the axle, felt like there was something catching in it lately but hoping it’s just that the cross was gone

The long term Mazda field pickup project is slowly moving forward. Hope to get all the fabricating done so we can weld it over midterm.

 

[Wexfman]

Reconditioning a harvester for a man from the west here at the moment. Bit of work with the electrics but have that working fine now. New bearings. Swap over parts from another harvester that he sent down. Challenging but very interesting work. It’ll be a cracking harvester when it’s done. Pics taken a week ago.

 

[drew]

It took a grinder and 2 rings of weld but I beat the b**ch in the end. See about getting a new cross now on Monday and hopefully I can put it all back together 😂

Slowly but surely been putting up a straw shed over the last few weeks.
Appart from a few miss measurements it's been fine. First time for me fabricating the frame. Have learnt quite a bit! One small thing I learnt is that the roof sheets need to be longer than the beams to put a gutter on!🙈😩 sorted by moving the purlins back though!!

Cherry picker is a very handy tool. Had thought of hiring a scissor lift. But glad we didn't by now. Could simply fly about the shed on that, less hasstle tham manouvering a scissor lift about!!
Flashings and a bit of siding to go on the high side and it will be done.

Some work for the real farmer in my life, Mrs whichwire. Small hayshed converted to straw bed shed years ago...some gates with corrugated sheet via baling twine....just couldn't be looking at that 🤣

I was welding with a oxford welder one morning and came back that evening to finish it and I plugged it in and it keeps putting up the trip switch, why is that

 

[AYF]

Voila as they say.
Doing my bit for the owls too. Got this box years ago from a mate who makes them.
Ill give him a plug whilst I'm at it!

Check the cable from welder to wall socket. Likely a bit of hot steel has burned it or a cut in it where steel landed / fell on it .
