wrmhaste 235 #26 Posted May 4, 2017 It's been entirely way too long since I've had some time to work on this. I made some time this past weekend so here's an update. Shift linkage is in place. (What a nightmare that was) and a motor is on 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #27 Posted May 4, 2017 This tractor build is pretty dang cool... but I'm looking forward to the plow that's going on it! I'm a little partial to plows I guess... here's my fleet. Here's some inspiration from the Zugspitze in Germany too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #28 Posted May 4, 2017 That zugspitze looks fun! And are those back blades on the trucks? I will get some pics of the blade I'm going to use as a starting point. The blade is probably going to wait though. I need a loader more right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #29 Posted May 4, 2017 The Silverado on the left of the picture has a 7.5' Fisher Minute Mount, the 2500HD has a 9.2 Boss V and 16' swing wing back blade, the K3500 has a 8' boss and 7.5' back blade. the heavier trucks power their plows by belt driven pumps, the HD having a clutch pump with solenoid valves and the K series continuous drive with spool valves in the cab.

wrmhaste 235 #30 Posted May 4, 2017 That is awesome. Love the back blades. I currently have a 1 ton ram with an 8 foot Curtis. Hoping to get a boss v for it this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #31 Posted May 4, 2017 Also. The motor in the picture is a temporary until I can find the elusive single 16 that came on the tractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,916 #33 Posted May 4, 2017 is that Honda a 110? I grew up on those things... well off the side or under them most of the time. I can't recall how many times we had to straighten the handlebars again so I could keep riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #34 Posted May 4, 2017 That is an 83 185s. And I could never imagine flipping this one. It's mint. One hole in the original seat (about the size of a screwdriver tip.....), Which is still soft and plyable. I'm the second owner 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Todd 1,025 #35 Posted May 4, 2017 Not sure how I missed this one, but I am following now! Good work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #36 Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks Todd. You probably missed it due to lack of activity on this post. I have had a really hard time making time for this project. However if all goes as planned I will be able to test drive it Saturday. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Todd 1,025 #37 Posted May 5, 2017 Thats awesome! Take a video climbing your house! Hah! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #39 Posted May 7, 2017 No issues with the front drive belt when the axle pivots to max? That was my only concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Todd 1,025 #40 Posted May 7, 2017 In need of video!! 🇨🇱 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #41 Posted May 7, 2017 No issues so far. That was a concern of mine too at first. It did great. As far as pivot I would say I had it twisted about 3" more than a stock axle can so far. How do I do a video? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,043 #43 Posted May 8, 2017 If you know how to take the video then upload it to a free YouTube account. It will give you a link to share it and then just copy and paste it here. I am looking forward to this video! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #44 Posted May 11, 2017 Video is probably going to have to wait till Saturday or Sunday. It's kinda difficult to drive with a battery bouncing around on the foot board and jumper leads hanging off everywhere and throttle cable hanging. I should have enough time to make a wiring harness Saturday morning. It was far from ready to go last week I just couldn't help myself. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrmhaste 235 #45 Posted May 13, 2017 Well the video didn't work so well... To hard to steer, hold shifter, hold beer and hold phone.... Dropped phone ran it over... Lost control ran over a 2 foot by 2 foot chimney brick, thought I was going to flip it. Luckily the front pivots so far it stayed on all fours. I did get a pic of running over some firewood though 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #48 Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) @Texas Todd No disrespect or anything but it sounds like "you might be a redneck ". Around this neck of the woods being a redneck is a great honor. Sorry @Texas Todd meant to send to @wrmhaste ,My brain and fingers do not work together most of the time.

wrmhaste 235 #49 Posted May 13, 2017 Why off course save the beer. Just went out for round two. No phone, pounded the beer and ran over some trees and stumps and piles.... And everything else in the way 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
