Its 60mm most sets don't go further than 55 even in 1" drive. A standard box key is to flimsy so I made one for the job.

 

 

 

Took half the time to make it than it would have to drive across town to pick a socket up

 

 

Cool, I was just wondering. :) very clever idea.

Never mind the balancing, welding cast is dodgy at the best of times let alone on something what spins at a large amount of revs and has pieces of timber shoved at it. If thats broken like that it should be weighed in and replaced with a real machine!

 

There is nothing "dodgy" about welding cast but I appreciate that it may seem that way if you don't know what you are doing.

 

I wouldn't have welded those fins back because a new rotor was (despite its cost) more economical, oh and we didn't have all the bits:laugh1:

 

I did briefly consider machining the remains of the fins off and fitting some steel fins but again the cost difference made a new one more attractive, and Ed had his heart set on using the old one for a coffee table.

 

Not sure how he is going to get that idea past the other half:laugh1:

Inspected combine that failed like this in mid harvest

They drove from wales to suffolk ( and back) to get parts that day

Worked till early hours to get combine back to work in morning

First thing they did in the morning was to drive over a toolbox they'd missed and did it again

 

Quite common to do this with sileage choppers too......picking up the crap/broken blades that caused the problem

 

Be a bit careful when you go back to finish the job.....

 

You have to laugh.....
