All in all a terrific transaction. I expect to be setting up a plow for the 854 over the next couple of days. Starting with parts from @ebinmaine and @wallfish plus I’ll be doing some fabrication where the frame connects to the axle bracket and making an angle control lever and rod. Will be adapting purchased depth skids for this plow, too. Pictures during progress, of course! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 4,621 #7409 Posted 9 hours ago I’ve had a Badger airbrush for many years, always been a fantastic tool. But the tin plate lid of the spray jar has seen better days and I can’t source a replacement. Having had a coffee and a scone at my local tea room I found they had a huge supply of empty miniature jam jars, about the right size for my air brush. I didn’t like the idea of trying to modify the flimsy steel lid by fitting a threaded insert into it for the paint pick up. So I set out to turn a whole new lid from brass complete with an integral threaded boss to take the pick up pipe. Turning was easy and a dremmel tool cut the material away to create the female “thread” to fit the jar. Looks good and works a treat. I also bought me a piece of artwork. Sandra loves paintings in the house, usually from somewhere we have visited or that mean something to her. Well this time I got one that spoke to me. It's called "Winter project" and it's by a local artist who lives out in Derbyshire, our nearest proper countryside. I love that the old landrover has been pushed into a lean to garage for repairs over the winter. The owner just forgot to say which winter and it's rapidly becoming one with nature. The piece of rope securing the rear door is a typical farmer fix, if it can't be mended with a length of baler twine then it's too broke to fix lol. It's at the framers now but will be up in time for Christmas I think. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
