Just a little thing I made for gates on a sheep pen.
Nothing worse than a lamb sticking his head through the bars and lifting the gate off its hangers.
Just a bit of piping split and secured with either a Jubilee clip or a cable tie.

the simplest ideas are always the best .. fair play

Thanks all. Did I post this before? Can't remember. Anyway.....

Have you ever needed those little rubber seals/ grommets that go into livestock drinkers. Was a bank holiday weekend so made this.
Its part of the handle of an old golf/pitch & putt club, cut at the point where the handle diameter is the same as the rubber seal you need.
These handles are tapered you will always find the right size.
Rubber is piece of tractor tube, from an 18x38 tube.
You can sharpen the edge of the punch with a chainsaw file.

You can always make rubber washers the same way if they're needed.

You changed the tractor reggie ??

Super job, Reggie. Would you put a pair of gas struts on the lid?
Do you plan to remove the lid when in use?
If not, would you reverse one of the hinges to prevent it coming off?

Sandwiches and tae, no. Spare parts, tool box , yes! Could you not bring what you needed in the cab? A few tines and a roll of twine will be fairly rattling around in that or are you going planning on bringing oxy acy bottles and generator around with you? Overkill. You'd see sp crews with less

Did you trade it in? l thought you had a authentic classic tractor and loader setup there.

If twas me l would have left it as is. I think you've devalued it now by putting a new loader on a classic classy massey.

You should have gone the whole hog and got a greengrass job if you wanted to upgrade.
