Anglo Traction 759 #205 Posted June 16, 2012 And the Race is on !. Who reckons Lars will finish it within 6 weeks?. I see you have an 8 Speed Tranny and some wide Rear Ags from the Crate, they must be for your Raider 10!. Are you still planning to visit the Ardingly Show in UK?, or are you going to be too busy?......I think somehow I should know the answer to that. Looking forward to seeing your Progress updates.

Rooster 191 #215 Posted June 18, 2012 Damn your fast Bro! Cannot believe that is the same old dilapidated tractor I put in the box. A19mm collar should be really close for that steering shaft. Might have to ream just a few thousandths out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lars 526 #219 Posted June 18, 2012 Hey Fellas a smal update on what i did to day... plan was to get all ready for epoxy.. but the weather stops me..¤#"¤# so here are some other pict. Have done the seat pan and taken the tranny apart and clean up some other small parts. The tranny was realy good inside all the gears are realy good on it but all the seals and i think all the bearings are bad.. need to clean up all the bearing and then take a look at it... I have most of the bearings to the tranny i think i miss one or two bearings. Thats all thanks for watching and all the nice comment it is realy fun to do it Thanks all.
