845, my 1045 look a like project

[702854boy 935]

At the big show I got a frame from a round hood, tranny, and dash tower from @Pullstart. I also got a short frame square hood, and the dash pieces from @Mike'sHorseBarn. I got a pullstart 8 horse from one of the guys in the barns and a steering wheel from one of the guys set up in the in field. When I got the steering wheel, it still had the roll pin and part of the cut off steerong shaft in it. I soaked it for a few days with kroil and worked on it yesterday. That was the easiet roll pin I've ever had come out once I figured out how to hold the wheel. The chunk of the steering shaft also came right out. I put it in our press and barely had any pressure on it and it moved. Today, having no power and it being hot, all I did was put the dash pieces together and set them on the tower. It's been 100 degrees and humid here since we got back from the show so I haven't really been able to work on very much.

No power???  Actually I am surprised with all this heat there haven't been more blackouts.

Yeah, last night there was a thunderstorm and we haven't had power since 930 pm because a branch knocked the line down and a lot of the major cities around us also lost power so we are thinking they have priority over our little town

We have no power either currently.  Generators for the win!

Generators are in our need to buy eventually list

Howard if you have not read this thread, we built an 857 into a 1045 look alike back in Covid times.
