do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
That’s what I meant - have done a hydraulic winch (well, my auto electrician did with a cheap kit from eBay!) and also set up a radio control on a pto chipper (which was a more costly affair but not too difficult). As said, not proportional though.
this is bloody cheap considering it's a cetop 5, with manifold and the radio control system too :oops::oops:

some more bits for part 1 ......
WP_20240823_14_01_19_Pro.jpg
... and some for 'part deux' :giggle:
WP_20240823_17_23_28_Pro.jpg


then some very tricky fabbing ... getting these pins to align (and stay aligned) is not an easy task with the amount of heat getting thrown at 'em - 1" pin in a 1" hole - has to be perfect - and square
WP_20240823_17_23_38_Pro.jpg

but succeeded - very nicely :giggle: ..
4 yokes ready for installation
WP_20240823_18_53_10_Pro.jpg
WP_20240823_18_57_24_Pro.jpg


these bits were a bit easier, other than keeping them square
WP_20240823_19_36_49_Pro.jpg

went together sweet
WP_20240823_19_36_39_Pro.jpg

those edges are getting flatted off and a.n. other lug attached, half an' half, so'll get consolidated with that
WP_20240823_19_47_07_Pro.jpg
WP_20240823_19_47_13_Pro.jpg

VERY time consuming, fiddly bits .. only way of getting the welds in that 16mm gap was a stick ... just as well with the bloody wind again today :(:mad:
our regular posty turned up after lunch with these ...
have annihilated all my 'stock' and twenty was only a couple of quid more than ten, so no brainer to take two boxes
WP_20240823_16_03_28_Pro.jpg

..... and told him the story of the *rick who delivered the last package to the holiday let a mile away, that I had to go and find--didn't surprise him, he'd heard a few similar stories this morning :rolleyes::(:censored:

a.n.other purchase yesterday in Aldi ..... only colour they had :oops::ROFLMAO: ...
unlikely to stay this way for long :ROFLMAO:
see 'em advertised last week in one of their email flyers and wanted a grey pair, but as these were all they had - "beggars can't be ....", etc. :rolleyes:
bluetooth and work brilliantly - got close on 1000 of my fave tracks on my phone -- made mowing the grass a lot more pleasurable last night, after tea and the saw time today was a lot better than just stood there, listening to the band saw plough its way through a dose of 100 x 12 & 40 x 12 flats
WP_20240823_16_03_42_Pro.jpg

They exceeded expectations dramatically TBH - very comfortable, cheap enough not to worry about and cancel a massive amount of background noise out -- as good as, if not better than defenders/muffs.
Can't wear 'em with me mask though :(
Must try them with my Nederman reactive, which i don't tend to use a lot - big fan of my old skool 'nod down' :giggle:

steady but slow progress ...
got the red lump out the way first ...
WP_20240824_13_41_09_Pro.jpg
it hadn't gotten any lighter :oops: ... but hand ball-able -just
set up the first yoke ... these have got to be bang on for part deux ..
WP_20240824_14_00_51_Pro.jpg

seem to have forgotten to take pix today, but was concentrating on getting these yokes right ...
cut some braces and got them in situ ... chose some 50 x 50 x 6 RSA, in case I need to notch it at all, but eyeballed the red bit first, 'fore it came out and should clear with a few mil. to spare :rolleyes:;):giggle:
the need for the braces will become apparent at a later stage of the game ... having stood looking/thinking about it later after tea, I think I'll pop a few more gussets/stiffeners in a couple of other places too :unsure:
WP_20240824_18_27_12_Pro.jpg

got this far when the 'bell' tolled ...
came back after tea and gave it all a good clean off and rounded off all the 'sharps' ...
and made sure the 70s' d still slip in and out fine ... zero distortion today then :giggle: ... they're slightly longer than they needed to be -- but standard length to fit in everything else, so made sense to leave 'em long, rather than lose 15mil for the sake of it

out to lunch tomorrow for a friend's 60th, so not gonna get a lot done tomorrow -- so persuaded/humped it down off the bench and walked it into a box, to keep it dry (minus the 70s :rolleyes::giggle:)

think @Bri963 might be able to see where this is going :unsure:;) and 'praps a few others :whistle:

Seeing the way the Drema arm is sitting and seeing the lugs you have glued on your creation I think I can see yer plan. If I’m right you have a few more weeks work ahead of you.
