If you have a hole in the centre, screw it to a piece of ply, clamp it to the drill press table, or mill, mount a stone in the chuck turn the disc by hand against the wheel and grind enough away to let it fit in the Myford.
looking at your chuck, if it's not a 'griptru' could you not use the backplate as a temporary faceplate?
Many years ago I used cement powder in a hand held grit blaster to clean the Webber carbs on my H120, it left a nice Matt finish.
how about alloy wheel cleaner? There used to be a product called, I think "Alli Brite", If I remember correctly, it was a mixture of Hydrocloric & hydrofluric acid,(very dangerous) although I would imagine it was very watered down, you sprayed/brushed it on, then hosed it off, it removed all oxidisation and left a very nice finish.
Like the airbag idea just it would take a lot longer to fill if i used a simple 12v tyre pump compressor
I Would imagine on a certain auction site, you could probably pick up a 12v air suspension compressor at a reasonable price, and it would be the right tool for the job.
Using compressed air to do the job I think you would need something along the lines of a side brush lift cylinder from a truck mount road sweeper. These are a larger diameter to give more surface area for the air to act upon. They generally are positioned to lift with no mechanical advantage/disadvantage ie directly above the weight being lifted.
If you could get your hands on one, an air over oil hydraulic bottle jack would work, but that would be slow. Something else to consider, how about an airbag suspension unit from a truck or Range Rover or similar, if you can fit suitable linkage in.
Have to ask - Hydraulics are good , but would an air ram and 12v car compressor pump also work ?
As i have a couple of 12" movement 300psi air rams and wondered if a 250psi air compressor ( tyre pump ) would work as a cheapo alternative ? .
How about mounting a power steering pump to a bracket on the plough / attachmatic thingy, connected to the ram via a relief valve and a valve / tap to dump oil back. You can raise the plough by operating the pto, and lower by dumping the oil back to tank. Just mount the plough, slip on a belt and away you go.
Hi Doug I just rang fergie Dave up he has had a few off these,he reckons on steel wheels with toolbar and tools 8.5cwt max rubber wheels no toolbar 7 cwt
Cheers Nigel,
He's on rubber and steel wheels, got a plough with it, so around 8-8 1/2 cwt. He paid £150.00 for the lot
We've, (or rather, I've), got to get it running properly first, flywheel has a couple of fins missing so it vibrates a tad, Briggs ZZ engine,
If you don't have a lot of room for linkage etc, how about a concentric clutch release cylinder, complete with release bearing to operate the pulley, a small master cylinder could be mounted wherever, with a latching lever, possibly with 3 positions? even more gears! and a nice length of "Aeroquip" braided hose to finish off.
