Good evening Stuart, First off, a tip of my hat and 10 thumbs up for an impressive job, very well done. Secondly, the woulda, shoulda, coulda attitudes of people really isnt as important as what what the maker and client both value in the job done, no matter what it is it can always be Monday morning quarterbacked. You did better than good with this. the fit and finish were exceptional. Don
Great outcome Stuart. Silly question, why did the farmer want the adaptors ? Looks like a modern machine so the Factory wheels should have still been available to replace. Regards from Australia.
Good point Dave. Factory spacers are available, but are not as wide as these. These were made to accommodate a non standard piece of equipment. These also act as wheel weights for extra traction.
Very good question. It is definitely something to be considered. I think it would be OK if the weld sizes were kept reasonably small. They hole patterns are a long way from the edge, and it is very thick material. Slightvdistortion on the OD would be machined off in the very last step.
@@StuartsShed I guess if you absolutely had to weld anywhere the OD would be the safest bet. Welding to one of the faces would be more of a problem i think. Excellent job!
I agree - I don’t think welding on the faces would work out. It would be possible to leave a very small amount of material to clean up on the faces after drilling the holes. Thank you so much for your comments and for watching!
I guess a non welding option would be to drill some blind holes on the perimeter and use toe clamps of some sort. There would be an interrupted cut on the OD but it wouldn’t be as bad as the bolt patterns on the face.
Thanks for the feedback Dave - I have the settings figured out so should be good from now on. This new software is way better than what I was using and makes editing a bit easier - just had to learn the ins and outs so to speak. Thanks for helping me work through it. 👍
That was some serious turning,and even in stainless! Nice job, should be proud of that one.
Thanks Ed! I enjoyed it and am happy with the outcome. 👍
Satisfying to watch Stuart, thanks.
Thank you - I very much appreciate you looking in and commenting. Cheers and best wishes!
Hi Stuart, thanks for an interesting video, the lessons learnt, and photos of the parts in use are a great way to wrap up the project.
Thank you for watching and for your comment - greatly appreciated!
A very interesting project Stuart. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Great thing about this hobby, learning all the time. Cheers Nobby
There’s always something to learn.

Thanks Don - very decent of you. It is easy to get hung up on the difficulties but as you say the parts turned out well. Thanks for the encouragement!
Nice project.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.

Nice job. Too bad that great finish is hidden behind the rim. Curious how many hours did you end up putting in to make them?
I’ll look it up in my notes and report back. 👍
Great series! Would the welding not cause distortion?

Good sound content this week, as it always was before last weeks poor outcome.
