    Could an old JF manure spreader be modified to spread lime I wonder?

    I'd have my doubts if the chains would move the lime back in the trailer?

    Would it be an option to throw a bit of dung into the trailer, and then top it with lime and away you go?

    The chances of busting the floor chains would be high I’d imagine.

    We have an old JF spreader - I was tearing one Saturday evening, trying to finish up clearing out a shed and loaded it too much...
    Like that - bust the chains, well, one of em... Had to empty the load of dung by hand... :(

    Parked the spreader in the shed, headed out for the night...

    That was 1994, spreader hasn't moved since... :rolleyes:

    Six months because it's been out of test since last October.
    Destroyed my knee on the 10th, and when I got out of hospital bought an auto, and the Avensis has been sitting since.

    I didn’t realise they back dated like that - that kinda makes no sense...
    You’d think it should be 12 months from the day it was tested, not the day it was supposed to be tested...

    No, NCT always runs from the date it was first registered in this country.

    Tested my car last year in June/July, it was due in May but lockdown prevented,,plus cracks in lifts in the NCT centres. My next test is due in Sept/Oct. They extended the testing period as a result.
    So I think I got 17months in stead of 12. I know of others who were the same.

    Yea the covid extension was on top of normal nct, you couldn't be sure how much test you might get nowadays if you let a car ly up without it for a period.

    I have to take out an old crush gate here. It's rusted bad at the ground, where it's about 2.5" box iron. What's the best way to take this out?

    I don't fancy going at it with a jack hammer. I've done this in the past and it's torture. There could be 5" of top concrete plus whatever concrete was put in at the bottom to hold it in place. There could be 18" of concrete there.

    (Not my decision to put non-galvanised steel into the ground like that. )

    Looking at it since, it looks like the box frame goes down and across under the concrete. Wall on right is cavity block.

    Just butt it with the grinder. Fill the hole with a bit of concrete.
    Are you replacing with a galvanized box? Rawlbolt a say 7x7" plate down n weld the new one to that.
    All the steel quality nowadays is rubbish methinks, if it's not galved it won't last. Cow s#@t will make light work of it!
