A trailer. Don't want the trailer just the axle for the log splitter build.

They came with both types of fitting. The drum one being common in Europe and the Americas. The tank fitiing flange screws onto the thread used to fit it to a drum.

The tank type shown is not a common one in Europe, but the do pop up. When they do and they are compelte. You will pay daft money for them.

So this type was common in Antarctica, Oceania and Asia?

May work out better. I have a plan...

The tank does not look too difficult to fabricate. Even the door looks relatively simple if built up from plate.

The difficult bit is the round-to-rectangle casting at the base of the pump. But if you welded a piece of 2" pipe to the top with a 2" BSP female socket on it, the pump would screw into that and be rigid. Then you could 'cast' the difficult piece from bodyfiller or fibreglass or make it out of cellulose-based organic material.

So got offered this for a project,
Looking forward to tearing into it after a couple of items go creating some room.

Thanks @JEZGUZ

My Bulto...

 

[Blake's 7]

I got this American made imperial wire stripper on Wednesday amongst an assortment of stuff that was being disposed of.

On Thursday my new Knippex 71 41 200 mini bolt cutters arrived to replace my aging cheap and cheerful cutters that have a small nut and bolt to adjust the cutting depth.

And last, but certainly not least, two of these 11 foot long bad boys were delivered today from the local scrap yard for the sum of €200, €100 paid in cash and the other €100 to be paid off bit by bit with scrap metal.
I've had my name on these for nearly two years now and the yard's owners finally got around to dragging them out of the ditch where they had been overgrown with briars and nettles.
I have no immediate use for them, but will eventually.

CPC or Farnell are you water cooling the coil

Re the 'Taco glad its gone to someone who will make use of it.

 

[Kayos]

A new project

I actually have 2 but I want to use this one. The quill is stuck so if it can't be shifted I have a few options using the other for bits or even basing it on the other bike, however this has some nice bits like the pump bracket

Im going to put modern wheels (with whitewall tyres) and modern gears, change the crank and just make it a bit more usable, replace the guards etc

 

[roblane65]

would it not be worth keeping as is ? a good project to strip and rebuild ,some new retro m/guards and tyre's
could be nice

I have another that just needs a pair of tyres and is good to go, will be staying 3 speed etc. This one is too far gone for that
