Maybe i should just put it on a trailer and tow it to the working area
-
I'm thinking Koen could be right with his wheels idea, then i could just flip it over and tow it like a trailer
-
Yes that would cure the turning, but how would i get the lift
-
The more i look at the photos the more i think it won't work, I need it to swivel when I'm on the turns with the tractor which it would if i drilled a hole in the end and pinned it to a regular tow hitch but i want it to lift.
I think it needs to swivel where the box meets the tube then put it into a slot hitch to get the lift. Doh
-
Had an hour or so on the zig-zag, found some junk metal in the pile and started making the drawbar thingy, bit of tube a bit of box section and a couple of gate hinges. Still thinking how i can lift it off the ground for traveling.
The chains might be a bit long but i can always shorten them.
Next bit is the hitch end to do then once its attached to the tractor i can work out how to lift the back with the lift handle
-
Fantastic job, what a transformation, really looks good in black and the wheels finish it off.
Nice little RJ in the background in the last photo
-
I imagine so Andrew, it's quite light too, but it won't be this one though lol !
-
It is 34 inches wide, discs are 11 inches and its 24 inches long
-
Just wanted to get them useable for now, might paint them at a later date
-
Hows that, this was tea time, all back together and working and adjusting
-
Had a bit of a play with them this afternoon, here's a couple of photos
-
Thanks George, good photos and given me some idea of how to fit it
-
Looks a good show Paul, is that a thwaits digger dumper I can see in the background of 8 and 9 photos
-
Looks a bit different now Charlie, surprizing what a coat of paint can do
-
They look nice Norm, I like your oven plenty of light
-
I'll be watching with interest Charlie, i think there's three of us all doing the same hitch bracket thingys
-
That was a nice little trailer Charlie, solid tyres are a bit bumpy but don't suffer from punctures bepends what you want to haul
-
Hoping to put it behind a Wheelhorse, mounting hitch im not sure about, any help or photos are welcome
look at by Barford atom mods Chris - not too tricky...
-
While i was out today collecting mine and Norms ploughs i found a set of disc harrows that are adjustable, i just had to have them
-
Picked up our plough's today, they've had a good soaking of red diesel, I'll have a fiddle with them tomorrow and see if i can get the adjustment thingy working
-
Hate doing wheels, i just run mine down my local blasters, then i only have to spray them.
Your doing a great job Norm but its so time consuming
-
I'm liking that, it's gonna look great with a coat of paint and upholstered seat
-
Not as quick as Pmackellow lol
I need to put my thinking cap on and make a hitch, so i can lift it clear of the ground to transport it around and work off the deck handle.
-
It was one of three Norm, some toe-rag pinched two and left this one
-
This is how it looks at the end of play today
