Hi Ranald,
Yep, Giardia was an occupational hazard but the body adjusts, bloody dangerous world out there actually!

I did a quick You Tube search and found a few examples. Everybody has a few old wheels and hubs lying around and this is the quickest way I know of apart from a commercial crusher.

Dont think a 4 Hp motor needed. LOL. Could probably be run with old washing machine motor. Definately a fun thing to make if plenty of spare time & some scrap lying around. Thanks for sharing.

P.s the guy with the 250 can crusher reminds me of "croc dundee" & that's not a can crusher : "this is a ..............." or maybe 007 "goldfinger" with "oddjob" having the new car squished into a suitcase:- bit more commercial & a lot less fun than the 2wheel job!

A slow but relaxing way to let off steam. Something relaxing about steam engines: must be the clickety clack like on the old railroad track. reminds me of "Morning Town Ride"

What you fellows are talking about may be Hantavirus. It is from the waste products of rodents, and can cause hemorragic fever and pneumonia in humans.
