Fri off to a good start
Can I weld a wheel back on was the phonecall, what wheel and onto what, drive wheel onto a drive shaft, that's probably not the best idea in the world, ohh ok they will give it ago themselves.
5min later, can I weld the wheel back on cause they can't.
Turns up, I have no welder or rods or anything welding related as I wasn't planning on welding anything today.
Nice old machine, they snapped the pinch/lock bolt, drill it out and tap it if you hit the threads, not got time for that, it looks like a cast wheel and if I do there is no easy way back, not bothered, machines fecked, it's clearly not it's just a bolt.
Anywho I gave up being sensible, tools at hand, 30yr old buzz box, connections on everything dubious, rods general purpose been laying in an open farm shed for about the same time, cleaned everything, warmed rods and wheel with blowtorch and proceeded to make 2 become one, will find out later if it's still attached.
It's a very old very well engineered self propelled turf cutter, poor machine.
