found an old iron hinge sticking out the ground so i thought i could turn it into a bracket to hold a hammer and tongs
knocked the barnicles off it and it was after a,grind up pretty whole ,i welded a bit tube for the
hammer and added an old garrons shoe
that was ploughed up for luck
be great to know how old the iron bits are and how many lifes or uses that the iron had been used for before
i cleaned and treated the anvil with,antirust wax to keep it shiney for another few months

The Post Apocalyptic Inventor has just found an identical stake to the one in your anvil. They've got some great scrap yards in Germany. They don't seem to be hide-bound by HSE like we are here.

Made a barley field yesterday... also made a nightime run to the neighbours to borrow a bucket of seed barley as I'd ran out just before the end 
Only thing in these pictures that I didn't spec for our farm was the tractor itself, I've spent way too much time keeping it going though, it's a great tractor to drive but a bit of a lemon unfortunately.
I love this sort of thing, I wish i did it for a living! So satisfying when all the gear you've repaired/modified all comes together and works without an issue

I made one of those the other day, currently spraying it today.

I've got gear envy. Any more pics?
Autosteer?
I would like to extend my markers to centre ,I've only ever drilled two fields in my life but I already hate wheel track markers!
I also have a 3m accord DA for the Kuhn power harrow, but this 4370 has a problem with its hydraulics and struggles to lift anything properly heavy and our other tractors aren't man enough. It's on my list of things to get around to.
The 4m DL drill worked well enough though, and tramlining was a doddle.

Yeah autosteer, only run the markers to control the tramline sequence.
I've loads of pictures, if yourself or anyone else is interested I'll start a thread tonight.

Little work project over the last couple of weeks.
Made a alu frame for an 85" screen to mount within the space of an old fireplace without piercing it in anyway. It's also motorised so they can vary the height of the screen by up to 700mm.
All made with 3" 3mm box.
The motor is more noisy than i'd like but that's the joys of buying cheap chinese actuators! (They paid for a static mount and i designed and built a motorised version for free as they are a good customer).
The pics don't do this justice, the fireplace and the screen are both huge!

I want to see the JD rig too...
I still can't get my head around how guys like you can run fixed 4m wide kit with duals etc, presumably to cover 100s of acres, without going near a road?
Next bit of fun for me is putting a conditioner shaft back on one of our silage mowers, and servicing stuff ready for 1st cut.

We cover about 2400 acres in total, 1300 through the combine resr through the forager. We have one main road between a couple of farms but only for 3 miles. I'll start a thread when I'm in tonight

Fuel tank for wifey's Ford pop. Not finished yet and I didn't make it just today
It's been a much longer job than anticipated. It's baffled and has a swirl pot made from a wine cooler I found in a charity shop! The return goes back into the bottom of the swirl pot via a machined venture so that it constantly pulls fuel in. The swirl pot also forms a sump which is 25mm lower than the tank base. Pump is in the swirl pot with the intake below the tank base.
Sorry about the location, it's a sh1te hole at the moment outside my workshop.
I've not shown the bottom because it's not as distortion free as I would have liked (stainless is such fun!)
