He Converted Transformer Into a 3-Pt Hydraulic-Operated Cement Mixer
 ✖  |
I converted an old 10,000-volt electric transformer into a 3-pt. mounted, hydraulic-operated cement mixer. I got the transformer free from the power company where I work. I cut it up to make a drum and then mounted a ball fin inside it that I made out of an old grinder. An orbit motor is used to chain-drive a rubber wheel that rotates the drum. The entire unit mounts on a homemade steel pipe frame. A pair of hydraulic cylinders are used to tilt the mixer up or down in order to dump the material.
It really works nice for small jobs. I can raise the transformer over a building's foundation and also rotate the mixer at the same time. I've used it to pour a basement floor and also a feeding floor for our hog building. (Duane Wright, 46577 232nd St., Wentworth, S. Dak. 57075 ph 605 483-3461)
