Where are ye getting oxygen and acetalyne for brazing or cutting ?
The father is looking but reckons its not a case of going in and getting a refill anymore

I presume you're on about bottles not rented?

For occasional use get a cylinder of propane and local motor factors do a half size bottle of oxygen,refundable 100 euro for bottle and think its about 50 to fill..cheap way to get heating and cutting,not the best if uve a lot of brazing to do but it will get ya outs a spot all the same...

This is the strimmer head I prefer, pretty much designed to be used the way you guntered yours.

Anyone ever repair a Karcher (model K2.35) power washer?.
It's pulsing on/off and leaking water from inside the unit. I stripped it down and think that the high pressure seals are leaking.

I haven't done a karcher, try changing the O-rings, there's a youtube video on it

Mines the same. If ya get a vario nozzle it'll work fine. Just not on the turbo one.

Great piece of guntering here, is it based on an old rotavator? https://youtu.be/gJmejLzOw5k

Not bad but this one trumps it in my opinion. So simple. No moving parts (apart from quad)

If that appeared on our bank the father would shoot the driver

The turf would want to be in good order. Ideal in a year like this when could be nearly saved off the flat.

I await the day when they invent a machine that'll wreckle the turf!

A good job indeed but that looks like a silage field he's working on, couldn't see it working on our bog, not even sure if one of the chain turners would.

Any bright ideas?

300 amp welder.
Cut an access hole and weld inside as well as outside.
Plate anywhere you can fit them on!

I think I see your problem

Worth getting a mobile welder guy in? Or take it up to a machine shop?

He'd want go be good, used to more than sticking a gate hinge to an RSJ in a calf house!
Good "old school" machine shop either.
Cheaper than a new dipper anyway.

What machine is it? It's gonna have to be taken off to weld anyway so ring around dealers and breakers, you'd be surprised there might be a boom of a yoke that got cab damage and was written off.

patsy_mccabe

Job for a good welder. Grind in a decent chamfer all around and a good deep weld. Weld plate across the divide then.

It's a takeuchi 125.. just under 3 tonnes.

Any guesses as to what a new dipper would cost?

A machine I'd love to get. What's it like to operate?

visatorro

Try mcsharrys or gaynors. Think they're both in roscommon afaik they both dismantle and sell parts for diggers.
Like that not saying a good lad wouldn't weld it but I'd get it hard to trust it again.

I dont know what the cost would be, but it might be possible to get one from a breakers yard. I know of a crowd in Galway that break machines, but I'm sure there's breakers closer to home.

Plenty of welders around who could leave that stronger than new. Just grind nicely and paint after. Hate looking at uneven offcut plates welded everywhere and rusting.
Right man will plate this and make it look original.
