      What I'm thinking is making it to mount behind, in front or even alongside of a tractor, with a pipe/tube into a trailer. Bit like a forage harvester.

    Has it got enough power to blow material up the tube into a trailer? They normally have a big engine powered fan half way up do they not?

    Where from, Rhys? Somewhere like Thomas Grahams in Carlisle?

     

    I've always got it locally from a motor factors, Thomas Graham may have it, but you'll get it on eBay if not.

     

    Clean the area with a grinder/wire brush, degrees and apply, I repaired an escort gearbox with it which got an axle stand through it (don't ask) and it lasted until the cam belt snapped 4 years later!


  3. You would be cheaper buying 4 of the standard ones! Probably more flexible too.

     

    or a few of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-V-Volt-Intelligent-Smart-Electronic-Battery-Charger-Car-Van-Motorbike-MP7402-/311752491484

     

    I knew someone wirth a kubota that got used occasionally at a stables, he had a 12v solar panel on the roof of the container which he kept rigged up to keep it charges, if you do this you must use a controller regulator as at night the panel can drain the battery.

    They do exist, I have seen one which had lots of sets of croc clips, I think it trickle charged them to keep them topped up, can't remember the name of it now, think it was specifically for garage situations.

     

    Found a 4 battery one https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOCO-G4-Battery-Charger-Maintainer/dp/B0068EV26I not cheap though. It's not the one I was thinking of, I'm sure it had 10 sets.

    A multi battery smart charger would be a good thing I wonder if they exist ? I thought about running a couple of 12volt bare wires along the garage wall that I could just hook up each machine to.

  6. Has anyone sourced new brushes and a set of terminals with insulators for the delco remy S/G, bearings should be easy to find? Also has anyone got a ammeter on their tractors, just wondering what charging currents can be expected to get the right range of ammeter?

     

    Thanks 


  7. Fantastic bandsaw, the loop does look like original as it has the crimp ferrules, however it should never of had this, the only reason I can see is if some one wired it without a neutral supply and was pulling a reference to ground so that the control circuit works, an electrician would not do this, its a big no no! Very dodgy.

     

    I would suggest you snip the ferrules off, strip the cable and put it back into the DIN rail terminals, you stick a screwdriver into the square hole to release the clamp.


  8. There's no way that the earth should be connected to the neutral at the machine, (although your earth is basically your Neutral at the DNO cut out) this is what will be causing the tripping as the RCD will be seeing this.

     

    meadowfeild, Saw may require a Neutral for the control circuit if modern contractors ect are used. If just a straight DOL starter only 3 phase and earth.


  9. Must have an Earth fault, it will run off a generator fine as it has no RCD? Along with your old workshop?

     

    Does the bandsaw have a Neutral, I'm guessing a neutral to earth fault as live to earth would result in a bang! Try to isolate sectons of the circuit.
