well I gave up with b'stard, yesterday ... had had the press on it all night and hadn't budged ..
well almost ... knocked the pin back in with the sledge, after i'd laid it back down
din't take a lot either
so picked it into the shade
and gave the end of the pin a going over with the die grinder ..
and it STILL wouldn't go any further with me BIG sledge ...... reckon this has had a serious 'dubbing' at some time in its life ... or it's 'picked up' but i had had enough .. bigger tools required
so it got a coat of 'not so ..... ' and put aside
Me mate Simon rang shortly after looking to blag some 50mm BDMS ... been let down with a delivery and was in dire need to make up a shaft for one of his brother's machines, crucial to production .....
..... had some here so he headed my way .. with a detour to the boys in Raglan, who'd rung to say me seals'd arrived
Simon got 'quarantined on the lawn for a cuppa ... and these got quarantined on me bench, 'til this afters ..
Bag lifter got a 'flight' back to ....
.... its usual home ... from the bench, as I needed the space ...
to park this on whilst it got cleaned and tarted
'fore getting parked with t'other gear,
so's I could take the head off it for some boss welding and cleaning, 'fore it too gets a coat of shinier tish
peeing down here all day and bloody cold with it ... the drop from 25 to 8C was
'noticeable' today
.. these got let out the bag this afternoon
and installed in the cylinder cap ..... took some getting in the thick 'un did
.... but in it went
.. and the rod went back together .. indoors
followed by its mate .. the cylinder
had to blow the end cap back out against the spring ring clip, which was also a right bar steward to get back in it's
'domicile' was some spring ring !!
's all hung up drying this evening ...
a noticeable difference in drying times at 8C .... this stuff's second coat dry in an hour at 24C ... not today it wasn't
drier tomorrow - apparently, but not massively warmer ... should have the Cranab back together tomorrow
