alf aphid Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Well my wife and kids are away at sister in laws so a quiet evening. Just awaiting rams for the MF trailers so decided to have another look at the taskers. Taking shape, pulleys obviously not 100% and in truth a bit big, but not found anything better yet.

Tractorman810 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Very nice , on the pullys side of it have you thought about cutting 2 thin slices of a solid plasticstrut rod of the right sort of diameter and then joining them with a smaller bit to form the wheel ?? I did that with a couple of bits a while back , allows a better sizing then i used a mitre block to cut the main bits then filed them on the edges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Joe thanks for that, yes certainly could bean option, though strictly speaking still not quite like the originals. I’m going to leave a few days and see what I reckon when I look back at it.

Certainly a valid point. I’m away with work again now, but will have a re look when back. Thanks for thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
