Pullstart 62,848 #601 Posted May 2, 2020 If you were to open the axle for lead shot... depending on the size you could toss it in a camp fire after the coffee’s done and melt it all in far from harm. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,464 #609 Posted May 7, 2020 I got the axle stubs trimmed down to length and The Paint Department did a bit of spraying. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,464 #610 Posted May 9, 2020 Trina got the front axle bracket and the axle painted up. We installed the frame and its rear supports onto the adapter this morning. Also bolted the front bracket on with axle in place to verify position after I had welded in braces on both the frame and front support. Lines up nicely. I'll use the piece of 3/4 rod in the photo to make up an extended length axle pivot pin. Look looooong?? The wheel base is 9" longer than a standard C series. Adding the extra size of the tire diameter this machine will be 16" longer than stock. 7 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,848 #612 Posted May 9, 2020 I’m sure I could find the answers... but for the sake of conversation... 1) What is your source of front axle stubs? 2) Is your hub pattern the same as the rear GT bolt pattern? 3) imagine 6-12’s on the front of some beast machine with 26x12-12’s out back! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
