Throwing one together from parts

Carlisle is the way to go if you ask me, as always, keep the pics coming B)

I don't have any new pics to share, but I have completed the wireing & ran a fuel line.

I had some problems with the Walbro carb (leaker) that was on the Kohler as I got it & ended up swapping it for a Carter N...but it's a runner & runs great.

I think this is the first time I've ran a starter/generator engine without the bearings in the S/G whineing & needing replaced.

Useing my hatchette, ball peen hammer & a roll of duct tape to finish some of the body work ...well I'm really knocking everything down for primer & paint.

Also digging up a few more parts & won't have the 520H frontend for it till after I meet my friend at the Auburn show comeing up next month.

Made some more progress on the 1065H project.

Almost everything is painted now & I'm moveing on to assembly now.

Set the hood & dash on tonight just so I could have a look.

Built this brace to stengthen up the frame some for the added abuse of the loader.

I like it Stephen!

That 520 axle looks like it belongs under there! Did you find a gear reduction steering box as well?

Which loader is going on there?

Hey that is looking really good. Looks like it is going to make you a fantastic worker with the extra reinforcement you are putting in to it. Looking forward to seeing it in person! B)

nice work B)

[Rollerman 290]

Slowly I'm makeing a little more headway with my 1065H/FEL tractor.

I do this for fun....so I take my time.

Shot of the rolling chassis out in the sun a few days back.

Back inside the shop & almost finished with the tractor itself now.

Waiting on a pulley so I can put the drive belt & belt guard on.

Also I'll hook up the T&C cabels tomorrow & wire it.

I had an interfearance issue with the short frames mid brackets, FEL sub frame & the 520H steering parts.

Solution....move the mid brackets back a couple inches & now I need to move the sub frames 3/4" bar that hooks into the rear axle hitch up a few inches to line up.

Hopefully my trans drive pulley will come this week & I'll get my first test run. B)

The paint looks great Stephen! You must be having a bit of warm weather over there too.

And that wide front track looks awesome. Cant wait to see the loader mounted.
