Farmers tool, so basically fencing pliers for hashing and bashing as farmers tend to do

Anything can be used as a hammer if you look at it long enough.

Aye and Farmers and Fishermen look long and hard at things.

Saves a long and tedious trudge or swim back to the base for an item.

No, sadly it means I have to sort out a hashed and bashed lump before I can even start to repair the initial problem

 

[Lewis_RX8]

7.5kw single phase to 3 phase 380V VFD for the lathe

 

[Pete.]

I hope you've got a healthy supply to feed that VFD

If you can’t fix it with a lump hammer or a gas axe, you’ve got an electrical problem

I am in the same ‘boat’ as hood. I often have to take a lot of steps backwards to get to the original problem before I can go forward. I put a set of work lights on a tractor today. After getting rid of the farmer boy hillbilly wiring I’d basically rewired the damn thing!!

Oh man, you have no idea!

I should go through my other phone and post some photos!

“How the actual fk did you do that?” Is a common question as I get out the truck…..

After a top tip from GraemeVW I acquired a very nice roll cab, its Branded SP International but we think its made by Beach? Its stamped Made in Canada

Reminds me of a saying I saw on Facebook,
"Everything's a hammer, unless it's a screwdriver then it's a chisel"

The other day I acquired a 16" chuck for my lathe, then acquired a bit more luck when I realised the backplate I bought off @Stueeee fits straight onto it

 

[Olderisbetter]

Just a tease of what i picked up today..engine code 12G432

 

[Hood]

I could be smart and tell you what it is but I am honest (mostly )and Google told me so...

is that a 10cc (engine code - not displacement!!) midget engine, very good upgrade with the bigger main bearings against the standard 1098 moggie lump. Have you got the corresponding 12G295 head to go with it?

I would like to know what's bolted onto the top of said midget block

With your kind permission, I will now steal this saying, translate it into my language and henceforth use it freely in different variations.

Thank you!
