Now, how to mix red and orange, that’s starting to sound like the hardest part of the build!

You could do Stripes. Orange. Red. Orange. Red. Orange. Red.

 

Or a checkerboard pattern.

Waving checkered flag across the hood. Orange and red squares. Also for a battery box you could use a small latching ammo can.

Big dreams...

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.

FYI, the green tape is NOT a cut line, it’s to reference the current battery location.

Yup I kinda think so.....

 

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???

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!

What oil pan did you decide to go with?  Guessing one like this:

 

[Pullstart 62,835]

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!

 “Cub Cadets—never heard of them!”

How’s that saying go?  Bazinga!

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.

It was the first google image that came up. :Shrug: 

[Pullstart 62,835]

This C has a shaker plate that I removed.  The Charger 12 block had the super tall base.

I forgot all about the shaker plates engines.

This is real simple, just dump the two together. When Case did this they called it "Power Red"...   not sure where they came up with that name,  darn things look orange to me.

Tall  engine, short hood,    NO PROBLEM!

 I was thinking that was a (funny) possibility!  Or maybe just sunrise red instead of regal red?

Yep—looks like orange to me.  Call it red if you like case.  

 

Kinda like “Carousel Red” on the ‘69 GTO Judge...

 

That also looks orange to me...just sayin! 

[Pullstart 62,835]

Maybe I’ll just spray some WD on it and call it an AC!  

[Pullstart 62,835]

So the steering shaft feels like getting in the way of the oil pan.  My torch begs to differ.

 

 

[Pullstart 62,835]

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.
