We got two 40 yard skips in full of ‘empty’ cylinders but they stink and that powdery stuff burns a treat

jeeeeez ... must've been some weight in them

Well after the disaster of the log splitter I built that to be fair wasn’t fat enough to actually split the wood (well roots) I needed something else to weld the cone part to and utilise the motor for so converted it to this

a auger 1.6m long which I welded some re-bar to the leading flights to give a bit of clearance and the cone on the tip

it wasn’t successful at first as I snapped it off by the motor on the first hole but as we had my welder on site wasnt a big job to stick it back on with a few plates to reinforce it
it seems to be doing a fair job drilling 1.4m into sand stone ground

Cool. Is that the cone off the splitter.
Whats the rebar do exactly?

Yes the cone from the splitter (had to use it somewhere else would of been a waste) the re-bar is to make the auger a bit bigger plus it acts as a wear strip

what's the drive unit Mog?

It’s a wheel motor from a cargo lifter that came from the air port that I cut up, got a fair bit of power too I’ve got the other one too plus the deutz engine that powered it complete with the hydraulic pumps

Well it’s taken a bit of time but got the ol girl blasted and painted now

going to get her stickered up with my name and a bit of wiring to the drawbar hitch then on the road
I bought this truck last July I hope it’s worth the wait

Not too many stickers paul. Think it might spoil it. Just try and be subtle.
Looks ace

Have you got the 5th wheel off for the paint job or you going commando ?

 

[Monkeybusiness]

Might have a lightweight and close by Saturday job for ya (gimmie a month to get it really high first!) just need it to hold off raining so we can get it bloody built!

[DaveDCB]

You just need this to go with it, matches and everything

No got the fifth wheel to go on as for weight will run it over the bridge when I’ve finish welding bits to it

This is a job I did yesterday

these came from Poland two boxes 3m x7m about 2.5 tonnes each, had to lift them off and put them on a set of wheels I’d made, then wheel them under a set of cables that were only 13’ high

then had to lower the other one next to it
