Yep, trailer tyres do get overlooked.

I went to the quarry for 500 kgs of sand paid for the 750 he put in my trailer.

half a mile down the road disaster.

two shiny new tyres later....

Haha, I had a similar experience last week - went to get a trailer load of compost, (trailer is good for about 300 kg), went over the weighbridge empty, loader driver is waiting for me and tips in a bucketful and the tyres go flat! I asked how much the bucket holds ‘about 400kg monsieur’ !! Anyway, he waves over to the warehouse, brings out the airline and puts a bit of wind into the tyres until they look normal, back over the weighbridge to find I had a round 500kg, I drove home very slowly...

That level crossing just keeps on giving.

I did suspect it deffinatly aint going last in the Warn winch. ?I did get a refund for it so I have to try!
I think I will kill it quickly and get a BOW2 motor.

I fixed a couple of scabby generators I pulled out of a skip, one just needed the recoil starter fixed and the carb cleaned, the other needed a spark plug cap and the carb cleaned.

Compressor fan cracked moved back on the shaft sand rubbed into motor housing melting a lot of it , Caught it just in time luckily

Temporary repair ring mounted around the plastic to keep its shape and aligned with keyway

Dont suppose anyone knows where i could buy a new fan?

 

[MattF]

I bet you're still running that as-is 10 years from now.

Picked up this today on FB for £20.
Started cleaning it up and freeing off the ball.
Is this a Parkinsons?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Is this a Parkinsons?

No it is a @Luggsey.

Very nice bit of kit.

 

[Maker]

Is this a Parkinsons?

Yep, and £20 is an absolute steal, you'd easily get a hundred back for it on eBay, I'd keep it though.

Definitely a keeper, I'm a full time hoarder!

 

[dobbslc]

Good man!

 

[Slowcoach]

I’ll find out if I have fixed these jaws when I do the other one and things aren’t flung across the garage.
Need to sort out the screw fixing holes.

 

[Gragson]

Mill vice?

 

[Luggsey]

Trying to make a boiler fan work again this morning.
Its 4 pole series wound and I can't make it work with 12-60v DC with a PWM controller.
50 Ohms resistance which is pretty high so I'm thinking it may only work on a higher voltage or maybe AC?
Shame as I wanted to use it in a welder.

 

[Seadog]

Look at the boiler wiring diagram or just stick a meter across the wires and try to start the boiler. The few that I've fiddled with are 240v ac.
