I get my gas through TMS Auto Parts who are an SGS Gases's supplier.
A very steep deposit, currently have £70+VAT (£84) deposited and a 10L refil of 5% CO2/Argon costs £38.00 + VAT (£45.60). Current bottle came at 210 Bar, Previous was around 230 Bar.
*I should mention, my previous bottle I...
Came through straight away, got another code after my second purchase too. Codes don't look unique so try this: O1CROMDISC20 or O1CROMDISC20 for 20% off :thumbup:
*edit, the code's might be tied to your specific account but.......
If your ordering £40 or more of stuff it might be worth splitting your order into two £20 orders. I received a 20% off voucher to use against my next order which I could have used straight away :doh:
Someone that knows what they're on about might be able to tell me whats going on. Is that insufficient gas coverage causing those craters and that dimpled effect along the top?
Yeah, I've looked at it further today. The holes not circular and repairing it is beyond my capabilities. I'm keeping an eye out for a used cylinder head but I suspect It'll end up scrapped.
Oh it definitely didn't 'wander in off the street', it took considerable effort and bigger trailer to...
A half finished trailed log splitter with kubota diesel engine showed up today, just needed finishing off.
With a hole that big in the cylinder head I think its on a one way trip back to the scrap yard :clapping:
I see two of the listing's you've posted are KENDE-MAG-150R machines. I have one of these machines, I bought it around 2 years ago from a friend as an upgrade from my clarke buzzbox arc welder. I didn't pay a massive amount for it and its been good. It's allowed me to stick bits of metal...
Thanks for the input lads, I think I'm going to do both :laughing: I'll cough up the 5.80 for a crown and pinion gear (inc delivery). I've had a play with it today, one of the small 608RS bearings wants replaced (£1.99 from the usual suspects).
I'm also going to keep an eye out for a sale at...
Hello,
I've got an old Bosch PWS 600 4 1/2" angle grinder with worn crown and pinion gears. I've stripped the gears out and it looks like I can get replacements ones for about £6. I suspect the gears have worn because there is something bent or a bearing is worn.
Has anyone any success...
One more update now its complete.
Got the linkage all sorted out and got a coat of paint on it.
The spring's pull the valve block in one direction, which causes the ram to extend. The ram extends until those two nuts on the threaded bar catch, this then pulls the valve block into its neutral...
Been awhile since I updated this. I'm getting there, just need to figure the linkage out. The tables on, the axe heads made and I've added some feet to help it stand on its own.
Cheers,
Tom
I've made an extension to the inside bit of box section, created a cover around the bottom of the ram to protect the inlet/outlet on the ram and also welded the extension onto the inner bit of box. The plan is to have an axe head which is removable.
Next up is to get the table welded on and an...
The photo doesn't show it clearly but the A frame is about 100mm deep, there's just enough room to fit a CAT 2 toplink (Its got holes for CAT 1 as well).
Cheers
I've made abit more progress with this log splitter build. Managed to get the leg all cleaned up and the foot removed from the bottom. Also got a 3 point linkage welded on for the back of the tractor.
It's given me chance to try out my new Parweld XTS 142, been running 3.2mm siftrode 7018's...
Yes, typically that's the case and I believe that to be true in this instance. However the logs we split are maximum 12" long so I'm hoping it'll be plenty powerful enough on the return stroke. The ram is also quicker on its return stroke which is quite important to me as I'd like to set it up...
Hi all,
I'm in the process of building a hydraulic log splitter. I thought I'd share my progress with you all.
I'll power it off the trailer tipping pipe on my IH 434. I've got a JCB 3C Leg to build the log splitter around. I've also got a double acting spool valve with built in pressure...
I can happily say the machine had no problems running some siftrode 7018's. I still need alot of practice before I have any pictures worth sharing.
For £115 i'd definitely recommend the welder. I only wish the earth clamp it came with was a bit more beefy, other than that its all positive...
