Show MAKE THE SKIMMER SECURE Scheme for Fastening Cream Separator Separa-tor to Cement Floor Tried and Found Very Satisfactory. Here is a scheme for fastening a cream separator down on a cement floor which we have tried and found very satisfactory. Before putting in the cement floor, a three-fourths inch bolt was threaded to the middle, then put through a hole in a small piece of scrap iron, writes Dan Belt of La Crosse, Kan., in the Farmer's Mail and Breeze. The bolt and iron were firmly firm-ly imbedded in the fresh cement, leaving leav-ing the threaded end sticking out. The base of the separator was then firmly bolted to two pieces of two by four, . : -V Fastening Cream Separator. and the machine set directly over the bolt in the floor. Then an old disk from a disk harrow was slipped over the bolt so the edge extended out over the two by four on each side. A nut was screwed down tightly over the disk. In case the cement floor has already al-ready been laid, chisel out a hole about six inches square, making it flaring at the bottom. Then set in your bolt and fill the hole with a mixture of equal parts cement and sand. |
