ok, well I have now purchased all the items to make my puller. Sounds like a cookery recipe! I will attempt to weld it all together tommorrow but am expected to be on family duty so may not get the time I need to concentrate on it. I made one slip up, in that I bought some big washers for the top of the tube but as my Dad pointed out a washer will bend! So I need to cut a plate for the top of the tube and perhaps even weld it to the top. We will see.. More tommorrow hopefully with all limls intact!
