Always love a good hetty,

^^ Are the cars battery driven?

And, twins!! Snap, but mine are boy/girl

Yeah battery driven cars, pretty impressed with them so far, even got stereo with audio and USB jacks, my car doesn't have that. And yeah they're identical twins, a handful indeed when you got twins, but also much more fun.

A long 40 mile ride home in my new toy! Needs a bit TLC and a couple of bits welding on the bucket!

Treated myself to a couple of drill index’s from MSC after scratching around for the correct drill bit on a couple of jobs:

A new toy appeared today, you might recognise it from a few posts ago.



Just a shame it smells of vape.

Looks tidy.
I'm trying to work out what the original setup was on the powerloader for the bucket?

It was like the old masseys, we think, with the swiveling bucket, and a cable pull, to release the bucket. But the loader hasnt been modified, so must be how it came from the factory, its an SM4. Need pallet forks and a bale spike, need to investigate a head stock, maybe! Oh and the 3/4 drum of concrete weight!

I acquired this a while back but only found time to look at it today.
Needs a bronze bush made for both shafts as there is a little sideways play at the chuck ends.
Should speed up production jobs drilling two holes at the same time, haven't measured the max and minimum distance yet as the brass inserts are tight in the ally casting.

^^ That's clever - looks to be a fair weight to it?

 

[Johnnybravo]

Well, technically I didn't acquire this today,as it arrived on Monday. Only got round to unboxing it today. Big thanks to Richard for bringing it to my attention, and great service from Tom Orrow. Like night and day compared to my old Esab ,and best of all,totally unfazed by the fluorescent lights in the garage

Should be a valuable tool when its up and running, i will take some more pictures as i clean it up, its full of thick grease at the moment sitting in some petrol ready to clean up.

What make of loader is it it has a similar arrangement to the old mill loaders and the Massey's is it fitted with a back plate as it does not look like it

 

[addjunkie]

Only markings on it is SM4. There is no back plate.

I did some exams in July and I reported that I missed out by a few marks. I wasn’t happy with the last one so lodged an appeal.

Revised results came in today.

I’ve now passed all seven elements with distinction

Proper happy today
