Maybe you should have got them to cut it into two 2m lengths, so you had a spare :coffee:.
5 1/2" with 3/16" wall thickness..... could make a few model engine flywheel rims out of that :thumbup:

awemawson:
If you need any I can slice it off on my horizontal band saw
PekkaNF:
Wonder how those bearings were protected from grass and grit - inside of the rotating thingy...We have that sort of stuf and unless it has pretty big "deflector" or shiels bearings et.al will be filled with debris in no time.

awemawson:
They are shielded bearings, the main flail shaft has a housing that surrounds the bearing on the inner side, and the roller has a secondary seal on the inner side of the skids but it's exact form is not obvious due to gross manglement :bugeye:
Today I was hoping to remove the Jackshaft to allow me to get the 90 degree gear box out. However the splined output shaft of the gearbox is thoroughly stuck onto the yoke of the first universal joint. It should just slide - those holes that you see in the yoke go all the way down to the bottom of the shaft spines. Application of heat from the oxy-acetylene torch and pressure from a 'hydraulic wedge so far haven't got it to move one iota :bang:
Got me a bit stumped - it's soaking in PlusGas at the moment but I don't hold out much hope - and it will make a nasty flaming mess next time I take the torch to it, which I surely will have to.

Andrew whats that bunker looking building in the background of the "on trailer " photos ?

PS :wave: if you used photobucket I would not have to click on every photo to make them large enough to see :poke: :)
