Love me a cheez-it box. The plate will get rounded over. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,500 #81 Posted January 11, 2023 Filler plates welded in and made the front pilot bushing mounting plate….. with rounded corners. Also put the piece back on I cut off in my haste. Measured once, cut once and welded back in once. Time to mock up the dash tower/ mounting plates. 4 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they were over 1000lbs stock. I’d be happy with 800 as long as it moves. If it doesn’t, I’ll just slowly fade away…….

Well whatever it weighed, it's gonna be about 300+lbs extra. That's a good thing! And I'm sure it will work great! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,500 #86 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Nothing exciting but I started putting the side panels back on to make sure everything is going to fit. Mounted the dash so I can figure out where the steering valve will go. Edited January 15, 2023 by 19richie66 5 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,848 #89 Posted January 16, 2023 I’m sure it’s in here Richie, but are you going with a driveshaft, or another type of power transmission from the 3 speed to the rear end? Looking great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking great! Another chain and sprocket. I think I am going to flip the rear axle like they did in the Panzer for ground clearance. Of course then forward will be backwards and I’ll just have to modify the motion linkage a little. The pinion bearing and axle bearings are greased anyways. Gear oil is just for the ring gears and internals. We’ll see. This will give me a shorter rear chain as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,500 #91 Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Last side panel cut to fit. Need to shorten the trans dipstick and figure out this 3 point. I have some 3”x 5” angle I think I’m going to use to build new uprights. I have a plan…….. Edited January 20, 2023 by 19richie66 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put it correctly because it would spin the right direction the way this is set up. But flipping it, I would just have to change the direction lever on top of the transmission. transmission dipstick done ☑️ 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,500 #98 Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Didn’t like the double upright set up and didn’t have the heart to cut the bottoms off of the stock ones. So I made some new bottoms. Now the uprights are just one piece. Once painted, probably won’t even notice the extended brackets. Edited January 29, 2023 by 19richie66 4 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
