hello all

I'm pondering removing the check valve seat again .
has anyone seen, used , got the correct tool for pulling it out / pushing it back in ??

I'm planning to make one ?
suggestions please
ta.

I think I used the tractor depth control on the second to last run

I can get my wheel a long way down ./shallow

Wheel will touch the floor when un hitched. If that makes sense.
Stops it falling over.

Thanks henk mig welded. ??

My last finish looked more like a canal
I'd forgotten to graduly shallow up
It was pouring down rain in my defence

All the best mate

must be ploughing time again :clap: :clap: left hand disc advise please gentlemen I need a left hand disc for me plough I have a disc / bearing that will prob. do , but no L H arm anyone have one for sale ? I think match lads just loosen the collar and swap the arm ass. ? rather than the whole stem ...

I agree whip off the head , it is easy access on the dexta once the bonnets off. do the injectors protrude thru the bottom of the head once its off ,so don't put it down on the bench , right way up because it will damage them , put it on its side or remove them first .or am I thinking of a different...

finally sourced a auxiliary valve chest , ' seems ' to be in good order . happily swapped them over to test , and guess what , it still bobs . :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: seems unlikely that they are both faulty ?? don't know what to do as I see it , its the check valve seat the control valve its ...

the cross shaft for the brakes / hand brake , ? no problems as I recall ,every one of the pins and pivots had seized on mine so had to be heated and freed off indervidualay . as long as the bolts , set screws , don't snap then should be straight forward , prob worth some copper slip on re assembly? ...

hi ben I had to lower a home made draw bar bracket to get at the drain bolt , in the nettles b4 I dared move the beast to drop the water out that had separated :oops: I blew a hole thru the channel iron , to access the drain b4 I bolted it back on , I did have to drop the brake cross shaft it was se...

is that a link ??
woo hoo

I think I posted pictures on here of the puller I made a year or so ago ?
I can do it again if it helps ?

I had cut off the rocker , bad corrosion of the bush , so I was only pulling the bushing out of the casting / back axle .
hope that makes sence ?
tom

I pulled my bushing out , or what was left of it ,with a long HT. bolt / threaded bar used with spacers as a puller , plus a bit of heat .

replaced with two bushes , I think they were adapters from cat 1 to cat2 ? the agri dealer had them , two were the perfect length / width.

mended :clap: got the welder out and modified the links . http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g367/thetomlad/howard%20rotorvator/2014-05-05180644_zpse8311a00.jpg http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g367/thetomlad/howard%20rotorvator/2014-05-05180613_zpsae100760.jpg album link http://s1098.photobucke...

smart looking kit sir

never let work interfere with playing with tractors

all the best

hi just to confuse ? :roll: I have a fergy saw bench , belt driven , which is mounted and a mc. Connell saw bench , flat belt too and pto driven ' all work saw bench '?? both are 3 pt. mounted work well and fairly easy quick to move / set up again . I honestly could imagine the hassle of re setting ...

hi
what did you do in the end sir ?

bin to two agri dealers now , no one can separate it , 'never had one that didn't come apart before !' even if it did separate I believe the female spline is only in the last few inch's , so it would mean cutting out a lump of the tube and rewelding it straight , :shock: im gonna mod the lower link ...

Possible
I'll have a look

I'd wondered about modifying the lower link pins , 1 " further forwards , towards the tractor would prob do it / push the rotorvator further away from the tractor. so yes you're :lol: right that might be the answer it starts to get close with implement lowered deep into work , if its held up shallow...

ello questions re. the pto on my howard rotorvator the shaft is too long , I have to run it with a very long top link so I doesn't bottom out , don't think this is a good plan. it does about 45 mins work a year for me on me veg. plot . ( prob 20 yard / meter square ) if I worked it for hours it woul...
