What could possibly go wrong! Nice solution that obviously worked well. I'd have been bricking it!!!Welded some barrels together to make some floats, needed to move a digger and stump grinder onto an island we are working on and the pontoon needed stabilisers, barrels one side and my old l;anding craft the other.

Update on this. Now working fine with a Bosch wiper motor, kindly given to me by @Richiew.Today I discovered I'd made a cock up. Gear head motor not big enough for my electric lead screw conversion. It's not for threading. Just a variable, reversible feed system so I don't have to run my noisy change gears, Unless threading.
Back to the drawing board, wiper motor maybe. I have the 12v supply, the motor speed controller and dpdt switch installed. So just need a bigger motor.

Longest part was waiting for the paint to dry on the bracket!That was quick.
Subtotal. It remains to make a new muffler.Painted a hose reel for an industrial vacuum cleaner that I put in order. Using 2K polyurethane + 10% activated UHMWPE powder. I need roughness and wear resistance inside the rim.
Polyurethane was not transparent, milky-cream shade in the mass. But the main blue color shines through. White grain UHMWPE gives a touch of "gray hair".

4 kW motor and twin turbine. Judging by the characteristics, vacuum -0.3 bar.That's a beast.
If staff start going missing just look inside the tub4 kW motor and twin turbine. Judging by the characteristics, vacuum -0.3 bar.
I warned the guys not to trap the tip of the hose next to the zipper of their pants.If staff start going missing just look inside the tub
