Oldskool 6,658 #33 Posted September 20, 2020 Well today's progress was getting the rear axle mounted, the brake linkage made and working in conjunction with the linkage to neutral out the trans. Also hooked up the forward/reverse lever and mocked up a running board 2 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,658 #37 Posted September 22, 2020 Back to tin knockin. Starting on the hood now. Not sure which route I will go. Maybe RJ style or 401, or 753. Any input would be great 4 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,887 #38 Posted September 22, 2020 I don't know much about the differences on the round Hood models so I really can't comment but I just got to say I'm real impressed with the amount of work you've got into that already. It looks great. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The differences between the hoods in this case would be how I end it at the steering shaft. Thinking I want the hood to flip forward for maintenance 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to throw it out there, another option you have is what I'm going to do on Colossus. Battery and gas tank are going to be on a bracket out in front of the hood so it won't be able to tilt forward. Long removable pin through the front hood hinge pin holes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The long pin idea could very well work. I think my battery will be tucked in under the seat. but as far as the gas tank goes. Well not sure where that will go yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my case as you know I'm going for a particular look and I have a tank that I really want to have outside so you can see it. I can't remember specifically but I think I got the idea from looking at the way the plows were held onto the frames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,887 #44 Posted September 22, 2020 I don't know what kind of look you're going for with that. I've got a tiny little "gas" tank I would donate to the cause if you were interested in using it. I believe it to be a sixties or seventies vintage fogger for running a tube into the exhaust and spraying insecticide. It's only about 4" diameter by maybe eight long? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did have to get something built to hold the steering shaft up though. Alot of undecided aspects at the moment 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
