Found some pictures of the fixed thumb for this machine from another seller. The importer we bought it from doesn't bother with the fixed thumb and only has a €300 hydraulic thumb, which isn't in stock until autumn anyways.
Doesn't look complicated, need to dig through my steel treasure pile and see if I can find enough heavy plate to make one.
Our machine already has the mountings on the boom, although only one hole instead of three.
@yngmar you have a tool to dig some steel from your fields, after all :)
@yngmar wait? you did buy it?!
@zabow The thumb? No. The excavator, yes. Already starting to remember which lever does what
@yngmar whoah! congrats! when I come to visit I wanna try it ;-)
@zabow Thanks. Think I need to start selling tickets! Machinery petting zoo.
@yngmar my ticket is I'll let you drive my MF135 when you come here ;-)
@yngmar instead of having 3 holes for thumb support can make adjustable length of said support.
@mcSlibinas Yeah, was thinking the same. Maybe one of the T-40 top links will fit
@mcSlibinas Hmm, too long and the holes are too small. Would've been too easy! :)
Here is an interesting project to follow
@yngmar Congrats on the excavator! I'm quite envious. LOL
@aconaway It's proven itself quite useful already
