Not just burn a hole through the centre of the pin with burning gear Druid? Do that all the time to remove broken track pins works a treat once you let them cool down know out with a 2lb hammer.

Haha....joking aside, if I thought for one minute it was a pup, I wouldn’t of sold it to you Gra, new wheels and tyres on it, and a new ram, I’m sure your going to get plenty of years of use out of it😊, I’m just pleased it’s gone to a good home, and to be fare, if I didn’t know were it was going it probably would of stayed in the yard.

So if I understand this correctly, you're worried about mixing oils when used on different plant?

I'd suggest over engineering it so you can use dual hookups but have some changeover valves or even dual rams. If it's worth doing, it's worth druiding.

so ..... was only a quicky last night ...... here's what else occurred yesterday ....

before I got started, this and the side of the drive got massacred .... could NOT believe how much it'd grown

WP_20200411_13_58_56_Pro.jpg


with that out the way, I adjourned to 'me patch' ........

and after adopting plan B ...... bit of judicious slinging and 'twere air borne ..

WP_20200411_17_02_02_Pro.jpg


got it up to there and thought just check make sure now't is hooked up/snagging ... good job I did ...... forgot the top ram pin :oops::unsure: ... so sat it back down carefully, slid under and dropped that out :giggle: and it was away ..

WP_20200411_17_02_18_Pro.jpg


Nice level lift, even if I do say so myself ... different leg lengths and heavier front end ... couldn't fault it (y):cool:

so sat it on the deck, re-slung it and .......

WP_20200411_17_09_38_Pro.jpg


carefully avoiding 'killing' the lighting board and beacon, which were still attached ...

WP_20200411_17_10_06_Pro.jpg

bungee-ed the board to the underside ....
WP_20200411_17_11_45_Pro.jpg


WP_20200411_17_11_54_Pro.jpg


and laid it over - re-slung it again and picked it to where I wanted it, to work on ...
WP_20200411_17_24_53_Pro.jpg2.jpg


not in bad nick underneath Ollie ..... but that grey paint came off in sheets with a scraper !! spent an hour or two cleaning it off with said scraper and wire brush, 'fore starting on some Ali primer, but ran out of light last night

WP_20200411_20_27_26_Pro.jpg


Ol' fabricators friend gets it on there :giggle::giggle:

looked ok in the daylight today and got it finished off ...
WP_20200412_11_40_37_Pro.jpg

OK ... fresh set of pix quota ...
having checked the pivot holes with the vernier, they were all pretty much on the 32mm mark .... 'cept for the middle bits of the pins themselves, which appeared to have taken all the wear ... miraculously - so found some 32 mm bar ... of which I had very little ... this was a ring rolling mandrel I used to use in me lathe for rolling a length of rings from a length of bar ... but was me only piece so it had to have it ...
WP_20200412_14_31_27_Pro.jpg


drive tag came off and it became a 'length of 32 mm again :giggle: ..... for some new pins ... after I'd gotten the remnants of the one lil' sod out of course
flushed the one end off with a 9" thin disc ....
WP_20200412_14_47_29_Pro.jpg


but still wouldn't have it with me one hand-er and drift .....

WP_20200412_16_27_54_Pro.jpg


.......might've with someone holding the drift, but wasn't happening so ...... split the lugs with the 9"

WP_20200412_14_49_05_Pro.jpg


and out they came, with a bit of slogging ...

WP_20200412_14_49_50_Pro.jpg


the offending item's constituent parts :giggle:
WP_20200412_19_25_16_Pro.jpg

note the worn centre portion :oops:

ran a weld across the top of the slits ... only need to stop 'em opening up ... lopped up some new pins and made a couple of retainers ... stop 'em going round in't holes ... summat a little more substantial'd 've been good, but sod all to hand :( they'll do for now
WP_20200412_16_01_09_Pro.jpg


couple of grease nipples in the moving parts ......

WP_20200412_16_24_36_Pro.jpg


and hopefully they'll be good for a few more years :giggle:
also sorted the wiring out this morning and got that all secured and re-routed ... and have been pratting about with some mod.s to that for an hour or so before tea and had a bit of a go at the brake linkages and compensator ... which wasn't co-operating at all, so soaking in WD for the night ... day just seemed to evaporate ... but've made decent progress and the body's about ready to get stuck back on .... the ali primer makes a decent top coat too ... lasts for years on everything I've ever used it on - like me trailers ... only ever had two coats ..... and now it is time for me bed ;)
