I reckon about 12inches, are you using a phone by any chance? It takes a bit longer to re-size them, I agree with you, Kovu was good at it, I'm just a feckin farmer.

Welded on the top of an old lynch pin to keep arms up clear of pto on slurry tanker.

Is that to stop accidentally moving lift arm lever and lift arms hitting pto shaft?

I think it means the "drop arms" now have the hook ends of "lift arms" up about a foot higher than normal.

Spot on,the hook ends are well clear of pto shaft and drawbar.It is much safer now when turning in off road through rough gateways.

Muckit

I'm with you now. I don't have a tanker or anything on drawbar with pto shaft.

Would you still catch if they were left down to the last?

inthepit

Yes,they still get caught and also grit gets in the workings of the hooks when they are down.

What ive seen lads do is to leave the balls in the hook latched , put a long pin through the bottom of the levelling arm and through the ball.
It does the same without welding.

They are copies of the original.... But better!
Was going to get them powder coated in brown to look even more like the original but I really like the galvanize finish.

Was a good thread that. I was wondering how many on it actually went outside and carved them for the benefit of Twitter...

Thought I'd throw up a pic of these. Diamond Warding Files. Fierce handy and good quality. Even use them to file down the raisers on the chainsaw blade. Well worth the €5 or so they cost in Lidl.

Got this in the post from agridirect a few evenings ago. 50cc 2-5cc repeater syringe. Mighty job for for doing calves for blackleg and saves a lot of time filling normal syringes.
