  1. It always amazes me that a lot on here seem to hunt for bearings and seals in the equipment manufactures box. They do not make the seals and bearings so a timken bearing or the like will be just as good at a fraction of the price. Almost all bearing and seal suppliers offer a next day service so I would suggest doing what ES has done and get the parts quicker and cheaper probably. You just have read the number or get the seal or bearing measured.

  2. Perhaps lat a few concrete blocks under each end and then the polythene to give the water a chance to clear.

    I made a platform in 2000 and the lengths of whole tree poplar were laid on four massive stones. Before I set the poplar down we slipped some polythene roofing felt where it touched the stones.

    It shows no sign of rot but a length we did not use which has been sitting on the ground has now completely rotted away.

     

    The tree was a windfall so we packed some coini underneath the top of the stem before we cut to length,(so not resting on ground).root plate is being left so still prob alive for a bit,there's a slight camber on top so water should run off.

    Gonaderma ??(bad spelling )present so who knows how long it will last!.hopfully a few years,we will see.

    Many thanks for all the comments,more pics when finished.
