Hi Elden,
         Lest anyone thought I was joking, today I was cutting firewood and 
lugging it on the carrier I built for my Massey Fergusson 35. I actually 
examined the back hub and by taking off only 2 of the 8 nuts and fixing a 
"universal mounting bracket" across them (then replacing the nuts)(or I 
could fit longer wheel studs and have more fixing points) I could have a 
tumbler with infinite possibilities . With the type of light work I do with 
my tractor (no ploughing or really heavy traction work) this would work 
perfectly. I've often thought of building a tumbler for gemstones and 
suchlike. This could do the trick - even if I have to leave it attached for 
a few months (I don't use the tractor often) - but hey, who's in a hurry?

         Nice to hear about the McVickerish, thanks, that means you only 
have one plate left in stock. I look forward to your next order :-)
