New FEL

Recommended Posts

Dual Wheels

The crappy weather here didn't stop me from trying to finish installing my new FEL on my 520-H

Today I finished makeing the dual wheel adapters and installing the 10.50 aggs, incorporating cast iron wheel weights in between :whistle:

Now all I need is to get the weight (don't know what I'n going to use yet) in the box

If it ever stops raining and dries up a little, I'll be able to play :thumbs:

That's a pretty nifty machine, Norm. :whistle:

Did you ever consider turning the outside tires around? Eldon says his digs as good backwards as it does going forward.

How about a bunch of Tecumseh parts for in your weight box? :thumbs:

I don't think the box is big enough to fit enough pot metal in to get the weight I want :thumbs:

Norm, what about used elevator weights? Cast iron, handle on top to lift them individually. They're usually square so they'd stack nicely in there. Check the yellow pages for elevator/escalator repair.

Nice looking 520 and KW. :thumbs: Im sure you will get a lot of use out of it. My suggestion is to build some forks. All kinds of uses come up when you have forks mounted.

For weight I like a weight bar with suitcase weights but the weights can be a bit pricey though. Cant hurt to keep an eye out for a deal on a set. I like at least 200 to 250 pounds out back but 300 can come in handy. :whistle:

just build a mold,smaller than your box.pour some quik crete into the mold,mkae it into sections so that you can easily lift the weights in and out of the box.it should help until you can find some lead weights!!

Norm,

I use 8 x 50# bags of play sand and keep it in the bag so I can remove it easily if I need to.
