What do you do when your mates don’t have a forty seven mm deep socket and you google and find them for four hundred dollars plus,you shrug your shoulders and say bugger that and go to work

Bloody hell in the toolbox on the Ute ever socket up to 2inch, every socket up to 50mm, most Whitworth and a few bigger ones to fit various large cable gland nuts. I will just stop work and stay home a protect my sockets.

Ahh, yes. Having to make a socket!   Nice job.
My simple trick is to weld a nut onto the end of the 'hex flats'.  And then use a socket on the nut.


Also, if that's a Kubota engine, I had to split that nut to get it off mine. (V1502)    - split by drilling through one of the flanges.

This could be an interesting thread.....  show us your home made tool.

I had to remove the hubs of the bus rear axle and when replacing, set the preload on the bearings. Some bright British spark decided to bury the nut deep in the hub, then to key in some sort of triangle fashion. 

This was my special job.

john d, that has me stumped unless its for a mower used on ice for traction 

Bluey, well done. I did a smaller scale socket the same way. I made a socket to fit the wind up/down legs on the caravan. Then welded a long shaft on that with a ground triangle shape to fit my battery drill. I dont wind them down hard enough to want to lift the van up so I use the torque setting at 18 and that is just right. Sometimes my hands go kaput with arthritus and find it hard to use the crank handle

nutty wheel looks like it might be a transducer tester or rev counter for the lathe.
