Red. Orange. Red. Orange. Red. Or a checkerboard pattern. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,508 #78 Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Waving checkered flag across the hood. Orange and red squares. Also for a battery box you could use a small latching ammo can. Edited October 23, 2018 by 19richie66 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,889 #80 Posted October 23, 2018 I think length is not my issue, but height still by just a tickle. Referencing the frame as level, I made a block to space the hood mount up. I had to raise the hood by 1/4” to level it out. I might be able to massage the hood stand to raise the rear a bit. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,889 #81 Posted October 23, 2018 FYI, the green tape is NOT a cut line, it’s to reference the current battery location. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I can tell you is if you clowns spent as much time building as worrying about what to name it this build would be done. Hey... I got a novel Idea... how 'bout we call it a tractor???

Pullstart 62,889 #83 Posted October 23, 2018 That’s a thinkin’ chair. Can’t recall the last time I used it! no turning back, no turning back... I think this notch notch will be enough to stick a big block in there! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,889 #86 Posted October 23, 2018 So close, yet so far away. The flywheel cover interferes with the battery box. So thanks to some clowns, I’ve gotta build a battery box up front I guess! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

82Caddy 851 #91 Posted October 23, 2018 11 minutes ago, pullstart said: Still the stocker from the C-101 👍 I’m just trying to prove ya wrong That looks like a small base big block engine (note the missing ears on the front and back). Didn't realize those came in a c-101, was under the impression that the C series used big base engines.. Thought they were mostly used in the 1045 tractors but then again I don't have an extensive knowledge of what really came in what. 3 minutes ago, PeacemakerJack said: now, let’s see, where have I seen a pan like that before...

Kinda like “Carousel Red” on the ‘69 GTO Judge... That also looks orange to me...just sayin! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,889 #99 Posted October 24, 2018 So the steering shaft feels like getting in the way of the oil pan. My torch begs to differ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,889 #100 Posted October 24, 2018 I smeared dirty grease on the bottom of a parts oil pan to spot in the upgraded shaft. All clears! I need to replace the pillow block and when I do, I’ll space it out to make up for the length I lost in the bends and all will be well. And after it is together and I tear it apart, I’ll plug up some of those “extra”holes in the frame. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
