There was a shaft with some "offset" weights bolted under the mesh on some bearings which was attached to engine via a pulley belt. This was a one-off thing my brother built once, so unfortunately there isn't any blueprints. One thing to take note of if you do build one is to not put too much "offset weight" on the shaker shaft otherwise it will break the shaker shaft bearing casings from too much vibration.
Tron hemel My brother built it to use on his allotment as it had a lot of stones in it. He's since sold it. Worked pretty well however the bearings on the shaker shaft had the bearing housing break twice. Not sure if it was due to amount of shaker-shaft weights or the quality of the bearings. Still....served its purpose. It had a Honda engine on it...think it was 125cc or 200cc, I forget which.
Most adorable dad I've ever seen
Looks like it could make some good garden dirt.
That's nice stuff right there
Have any pictures of this thing? What is used for the shaft to create the shaking?
whats the connection between the motor and mesh shaking? blueprints please.i need one of these.

Hi, what are the damping springs from?
Dope!

What is the best angle for mesh?
45 degree
