yeh animal feed .... and yeh the mate tooling is in a knot ... new one going / gone in .... got the drop on the bearings ... but as said, like juggling spaghetti initially .... got a few more to do when the new bearings arrive .. those in the post were a re-sleeve job ... bearings were perfectly re-usable, apart from the one set :rolleyes: .... quite remarkable the damage a relatively soft product does to such hard tooling :oops::oops:

Looks like the rollers have been run too hard on the die. That’s what normally kills them, rather than what’s going through.

Fair play to him turning up on a Sunday at day rate. A guy I know having some done and he seems to get around 2m a day with lime. Hes paying day work couple of ton a day in readies.

well in that case ... thank you kindly sir (y):cool: ... as above .. really did my head .. but was determined it was gonna look right ... the tight joints were a bitch .... would be interesting to have a.n.other go sometime, especially having watched Reo on/off this week laying the bigger joints .. looks a lot 'simpler' and 'spose you'd get the eye eventually :unsure::rolleyes:
