Doesn’t look like much, but there was some tedious detail to BOLT THE ENGINE DOWN!!  :dance:   I changed the oil while it was on the hoist.

This might be a dumb question, but I haven’t found an answer on my own: What is a “shaker plate”?

Some engines have a plate hard mounted to the frame with isolator bushings that the engine mounts to.  Edit...  scratch that... reverse it.  The plate is mounted solid to the block.

Oh man oh man, I think I’ve done it for myself now...  the wheels and tires from the David Bradley I picked up a bit ago are screaming to get in on the project!  I see a higher steering wheel and maybe some cut down (back half) floor boards.  The seat and fenders would drop a bit of course...    The DB wheels are a bigger bolt pattern and it has ratcheting hubs for cornering in the field, but that would mess with reverse a tiny.

I like it!     :woohoo:      With the bigger 16" rear tires (David Bradley did use 16" didn't they) you might want to go 12" in the front to get it level

If you could find some old Ford or Chrysler product 16" rims the bolt pattern would be the same as the :wh:. Mrs Pullstart won't be doing any mowing with it that high, the deck wouldn't be able to get down far enough!    :ychain:

I think they are 15’s, and really skinny.  The DB axles are 1-1/8”, I thought maybe I’d pull apart one of the hubs to see if I could make them lock up.

WHX??

Nother stupid question here Kev ... why did you have to notch the frame and play steering shaft origami? Both 241s with a short base  I have lay flat on the frame. They came off a 1055s. I coulda shoulda woulda sent you one, but guessing you would have had to shorten the rod dipper??

Working with what I’ve got and what I have spares for, both K241 oil pans I have are shallow but with a recess for the dipper.  Trying to keep the engine as low as possible to clear the hood reasonably, that recess interfered with the frame and the steering.

Small (huge) victories, the K241 still runs, and the hydro feels strong enough to run me over while test firing!  Also, I think I’ll be able to lock the DB hub in a drive position by replacing a spring with a piece of tubing.  Time to strap a fuel tank on this beast and run it around the yard a while!

Tip of the day: when your wiring is hanging by a strap, don’t take a joyride out in the field.  That’s when the gremlins come out!  Back in the shop safe and sound.... I’m convinced the build must go on :handgestures-thumbupright:

Both set screws were snapped flush to the hub and one hub is cracked.  A good sign this next part is gonna be tough?  I finally broke down and built a hub puller.

Too much stack?  Too short?

The stack kinda fits in my eyes. Kind helps offset the look with larger wheels in the back. Looking good so far

That does not even become a real question until it starts smacking doorways.

 

Just keep in mind I'm a redneck hillbilly Backwoods country boy truck driver

As fas as your Bu.. fit's between tyres😂,

the Stack size looks pretty cool😎.

Think you have to enlarger the steering wheel a bit, to come in upright position while seating.

 

Don't forget - it's not a durablue Axle in rear...

 

The dimensions at all looks coherent!👍

You’re correct about the steering wheel needing some more height.  As soon as I nail down the fenders and seat, I’ll figure out a suitable steering height.

 

Durablue, isn’t that in atv’s and whatnot?  I think I’ve got one in my Raptor out back!

I don’t want the thing to start leaning to the right though Eric!  :handgestures-thumbupright:  I suppose I’ll wait to figure the overall length/height when I get the seat situated.
