Just WOW, that looks badass, thanks for sharing your project.  How long did it take you to weld those 2 tanks?

It was off and on for about 5 days each I think. It's hard to tell really. Some days 3or4 hrs some 8or9 hrs.

Oh come on guys. It's just getting in there and doing it. Trial and error. I had plenty of errors. I'm turning new shafts out now because of error.

Even if it doesn’t drive yet, it should be on display at the ice meeting!  That’s awesome!

Really cool looking, and great work so far.

 

I may have missed it, but what's the reason for the different lengths of the helices (or helixes), and some go up the cone and some don't?

Thanks. I have about a month left to finish and get the bugs out.

The different lengths I hope will act like a screw point as far as grabbing material. The screws turn inwards for forward motion. So on every half rotation it starts to grab again. If that makes sense. I did the same but abbreviated on the back in a reverse direction.

Forget the bugs!  Didn't need them in the first place? 

Paint it and let's throw some snow!

We've been watching all along!  What's to worry about?

 

I too hope it goes well.  Seems most of my projects become and sometimes remain prototypes...

 

But yours so far looks good from here!

The weak spots are the keyways and the universal joints at the back of the tanks

      Abrasive flap wheel. Install?
      By Oldskool
      Hey guys I have been given a box of these flap wheels.
      5.25" x 1.5" with a 1" arbor hole.
      I instantly thought great I can put one on my bench grinder. 
      Nope!    Not that simple.
      The arbor size is different, and it's to wide to fit inside the the guard.
      I thought of removing the guard but would like to have it there.
      I guess I could make an arbor adapter and a spacer for the guard,and a new tool rest,etc. More time involved then first thought.
       
      Does anyone use these, and if so what do you have it on?

      By c100rider
      Hello fellas. I bought this 211-3 tractor. I have no clue how this mower deck comes off. I need to fix some areas on the deck, as well as replace a clutch cable. I can't seem to find pictures of a complete deck for this model as it should be. Need help.

      Custom golf cart
      By Oldskool
      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.
       
      The base is an 1982-88 Yamaha G1 golf cart.
