I've not got it yet!

Somehow I need to give everyone a chance so all I can do is suggest making me an offer.

It's a k582 fitted to D180, anybody want to buy it?

Thankfully I have a complete engine to put on it and a fuel tank aswell, the kohler engine apparently did run and the owner drove the skimmer when he baught it at the great Dorset steam fair.

Thanks Normin, I thought he was in the huff with me.....

Recently a chap made contact with me saying he had a Ransomes skimmer chassis and that he had cut off and sold the discharge conveyor and front auger just 3 months ago, he was sure that the guy he sold them to had not done anything with them yet so I asked him to contact him, after a few weeks the parts were returned back to his yard, a deal has been done and hopefully the gearboxes are there just waiting for pictures of them before I commit to anything. To be honest I cant wait to get it and weld it back together !! Apologies Jonathan for hi jacking the thread.

Nope, will fit on the patio at side of house.

Keeping all of them Jonathan, this one will allow me to work on complete machine indoors,

I've never seen such a well built shed, yet to see how it is actually fixed together hopefully screws and no big nails, I know it splits into quite a few sections.

Spotted this on eBay only about 6 miles from me, went to see it and done a deal. It's fully insulated and built superbly, the doors are about 4 inches thick and the guy reckons it is warmer than his cottage! He had it built with a total cost of £6k I paid less than £1k for it, just need to get it to bits, lay a concrete pad and rebuild it! Easy! Shame none of you live closer I could do with a hand! It's going to weigh a lot! 10ft X 16ft, wil take up all the patio

It's a gutbrod, always fancied one.

That was the kind of thing a baught when I was younger! Along with the lathe when I was even younger, about 15 I think. (Mill now sits beside it)

Had it since I was about 17 norm, not got any of the cnc gear on it anymore.

Smarter than that Norm.

A fair bit of work Stormin

.

Due to the high prices and demand for Ransomes link arms particularly the straight ones (last pair went for £280) I set about making my own, see below against original.

End of a Ransomes Cat 0 link arm, I'll do some quick sketches and pictures.

are you happy to do a drawing for me, pretty simple part

If you can produce a 2D drawing then yes.

Hi, Is anybody an AutoCAD wizard on here, needing some stuff drawn up. Thanks

I have no idea but googled it. The skim-coulter is shaped like a miniature plough, substituted for or fixed in front of the coulter; it is used chiefly on lea land, to pare off the surface of the soil together with the vegetation thereon, and turn it into the previous furrow, where it is immediately buried by the furrow slice. I take it is has to be removed and a disc put in its place, I presume it is no good for competitive ploughing.

Needs a bit of work, it's got a slight twist on the mouldboard, also I think it has what's called a skim coulter intsead of a disc coulter???

Think you mean 'nae mare' Normin....Tams about as scots spoken as you get.I've got to get my TS42 plough painted up and the disc attached so I can have a ago.
