Hi Guys,
Took your advice and had my ram welded after snapping off the end. Made a jig and took it to a local engineering firm who had a million amp welder and did no trouble. Thing is after all this messing about i seem to have a put a ding in the piston. Nothing serious, looks like a finger nail gauge in the icing of a cake. Now this ram is for left and right turn on the backhoe and the ding is close to the end, i.e.fully retracted. it is not very often that i will slew the backhoe fully left, so is it ok to leave it or will i be forever changing the seal. Anyone gto any experience with these.
Also,
Anyone got any ideas for a homemade 3 point hitch. I need to convert my mower deck, currently gravely, and my rotorvator which is mounted by the top arms only and two bracket and pins instead of draw bar attachments.
I'd appreciate any ideas or pointers to other messages.
cheers
Hank
