Razorback 1,035 #51 Posted March 4, 2020 As soon as you see them, you’ll say, “I remember putting those THERE!!!!!” That is where I find most things I cannot find..... right where I left them...... in a really good spot! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are buried on the old burn pit because the tires were rotten. Got some work done on the WH-D today. It's starting to look like a Christmas tree. The way things are thawing around here I'm going to be needing this in the next couple of weeks to pull our large lawn roller.

Cvans 1,009 #54 Posted March 6, 2020 This afternoon I was able to fabricate the front mount for the hood. Going to use the dash and hood from the Electro 12. The reason being the fuel tank and mount for the C-160 will not fit behind the dash with the Lister-Petters installed. Thankfully the dash fit the pedestal on the C-160 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of the oval metal tanks. Yellow goes good with red. Not. Hope to have the rear fender pan seat and running boards fitted today. I'd like to have this done next week so I can get started on this. Edited March 6, 2020 by Cvans 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I drive short-haul for a living and I'm off and in and out of the truck quite a few times during the day. For example. I was stopped for lunch when I got that last one and now I've gone up the road a good strong 2 miles. Stopped at my next delivery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmmmmdonuts 274 #67 Posted March 8, 2020 Looking great so far. Curious what size rear tires you have there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cvans 1,009 #68 Posted March 8, 2020 24 x 8 x 12. I'll check for sure the next time I'm in the shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cvans 1,009 #69 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Spent a good part of today accomplishing nothing. Seemed like every time I turned around I needed something or I had forgotten to paint something or I had lost something. Did get the dash, steering, and gas tank installed. For some dumb reason I didn't paint the running boards. Needed more paint. Lost the half moon key for the input pulley on the transmission and it happened to be one size that I didn't have. Couldn't get the pulley off of the parts tractor. Now if I can figure out where all the springs go I have laying around I'll have it made. Might even get a couple decals on before pictures.

ebinmaine 67,266 #70 Posted March 11, 2020 I'd be happy to take whatever pics you need of Cinnamon later today if someone else doesn't already get em for ya. Clutch spring goes from the hole in the adjuster on the rod to the "fin" on the square part of the axle.... Be sure it's a good strong one and be careful installing it. I've been bitten by that point a time or two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cvans 1,009 #71 Posted March 11, 2020 Thanks for the offer Eric. I did find a photo on the net last night that showed where the spring went. I was completely on the wrong side of the tractor. If I need anything else I will let you know and thanks again. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cvans 1,009 #72 Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Just finished painting the belt guards. Have 2 aluminum inserts to make tomorrow. One for where the headlights go and one for the center of the console for the starter switch and volt meter. Wire the alternator, mount the seat and thats about it. The decals I purchased don't match the paint so I'll have my wife make some on her machine. The wheels will get painted in the spring after they are sand blasted as will the muffler. The rear tires are 25x8x12. You have to raise the fender pan to ocommodate them. The park brake doesn't engage. It was like this when I got it. S Something is installed wrong. What do you think?

ebinmaine 67,266 #74 Posted March 12, 2020 I agree. Looks fantastic!! I can look at the brake setup on my B and C series later. I remember that on Cinnamon I had to back off the adjuster rod a bit. What year is your tractor? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
