Thank you for solving the mystery object! I guess that the hopper likely rusted that even though the frame was good the hopper was unusable? Or that modern machinery didn't have the couplings and links in the same places to fit the now redundant frame? Or such fertiliser as was used was banned?

Pushkin Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 *****. Good one Ditchie - well detected. Pushkin I'm enlisted Hmmmmmm, reckon I am on a watch list for words used previously.

The blue circled bits seem to be the pins for lower tractor arms. The red circled bit looks like two flat steel strips that may have holes in to take a top link pin. No idea what it is though. maybe a gearbox missing as the circular strip of steel has some sort of rotary shaft in the middle. This is the post that pushed me in the right direction..... well done Wyn....it was the observation of the frome should be upright.......so that is the only way a 3 pt' linkage would work/fit....well dome Wyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
