JoeM 7,874 #1 Posted November 26, 2020 Built this for the 2020 show and as you know no show! Got new skins and better rims for the front and have to install the side boards also. It went on the back burner when the show got canceled. Hydraulic bed and rock shaft lifts works too. Might use it to plow snow or fix up a grader blade?? Lengthened the frame 14 inches and used a 13HP predator engine. I had a Kohler 8 and it worked ok but I wanted more power. Used the 13. Real cool machine. There is a two way radiator fan under the seat were you can select it to put heat on your legs or blow on the engine. I named it the "essential worker" Might put it up for sale at the next years show, need to clear the way for the next build, will see. 1 19 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,874 #9 Posted November 26, 2020 1 hour ago, Stormin said: forward control idea Linkage, steering and hood was tough. The linkage was the worse because I changed engines, had to channel the frame to accept the Predator engine. I must have tinkered a week on those rods. Just like the factory when you depress the brake it centers the hydro and there is a pull cable on the dash connected to the brake lock to park. The covers and such were all ready fabricated. The test run with the 8 hp just was lack luster. Looked nice and fit nice, I wanted to be able to full stroke the hydro and go. The 13 runs great and sounds like a Harley. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeek 2,286 #11 Posted November 27, 2020 Nice job! That's like @wallfish coming up with cool creations. Don't forget the tow hook for the front, I saw it said "hemi" on the side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
