The guy who supplies hay to the stables nearly lost his arm a couple of years ago, a common jam up so he jumps off the tractor leaving the PTO running "I've done this countless times before" this time it bit him, he was off work for a few months and still has the nasty scars as proof.
I looked them up and learnt something - I always thought they were still Vauxhall components - but yes, the Kallista was Ford bits.
And that Ssang Yong made them for a time too!

I've obviously no idea what it is yet, but you've added brass. That's good enough for me.

All to common, sadly. If its running it can bite you. Switch it off! Makes me cringe when I see my neighbour fiddling with kit while its running.
Transporting the wrong kind of bricks
Sounds painful..

Collected tools in the shop during the evening.
Tomorrow evening will be getting them back in the tool cart.
Second objective will be getting rid of all the trash cumulated during one year roughly.
This includes scrap metal so replaced components and so on.
Planning on restarting on YouTube.
In this evening I've read about new rules on the platform.
AI will be demonetized, as well as remixed videos, so a bunch of YouTube channel will essentially die .
Shorts will be way reduced due to those rules and longer contents hopefully will get the deserved attention

Yesterday I made a corner of the barn tidier, because everything had gotten too much and I was tripping over engines and gearboxes and other things, it was time to put the blue rack up.
Today's first world problem, I dont have any spare pallets besides what is in the picture because I've used my spares as solar panel bases, and the gypo pickup is full of astra that was due to go the VHU (official vehicle disposal place, it has to go to a VHU to be recycled to become unregistered, I cant just tell them its gone and weigh it in), except when we called the nearest one today, its been closed down. So probably will be a 100-150km trip to deliver it the next closest one.

Pressure cooker?
I picked up a used jet wash cheap. The guy I got it from said the gun was leaking. I was hoping it’d be a seal or o-ring.
Further investigation revealed it was the plastic valve body cracked.
The parts aren’t available separately and new guns are £35 and the cracking valves are common place.
I need to practice machining so I thought I’d have a go at making one out of brass.
Some round brass stock was all I had so I set to it.
The old and the new
Fitted. I’ll test it tomorrow to see if it works.
