Our good friend Snooter

He’s waving at you!

This aughtta work!

I tell you what, those seats are NOT easy to pull when they BOLT ‘em through the floor!

The things you really appreciate after a couple years of ownership…

 

hold downs that keep an Allen wrench in place… when used as hinge pins!

well, time to see what I got to mount this bus seat!  

 

 

[Pullstart 59,687]

@Achto we both got sexy bench seats!  

 

This one was from the back of the bus.  It’s hard saying how many shenanigans happened there… but only two wads of gum stuck…

Nearly 10 feet long!

And considering that Snoot is 20’ tall and exerts volumes of spent air, it just may be the world’s tallest garden tractor stack 

[Pullstart 59,687]

@squonk exactly what you were thinking, right?  Not quite enough butt in the tractor!

 

 

[Pullstart 59,687]

That’s better!

The Whrat is looking sharp!!!

Oh that’s silly!  I spit shaked with my wife that I wouldn’t touch it until the bathroom is complete.  I still need to trim it and install the sliding barn door

Well here she is...

 

I like it!

 

Ended up swapping the new rear tires on this one with my other C 105 due to height difference to get the duallys to ride even.... almost1.5 inches! So the worker gets the new rubber and the WHrat WHrecker gets the old stuff... as it should be! Will be swapping fronts too when I get a chance.

 

Not sure on paint for spacers yet. No paint was sacrificed in the making of this beauty. Not sure I want to break with that standard...

Agree though it would look cool! 

 

Appreciate everyone’s input. A lot of good advice and expertise!!!

 

Rides quite nice!

 

 

 

It’s been a day or two.  Couple questions…. Do you have a note on which belt you used?  It’s pretty worn and needs replacing soon.  We slip the belt a lot!

 

Do you know if your other black hood creation GT6.5 has the same belt?

[SylvanLakeWH 24,129]

I do not have any notes, but i am pretty sure I used stock size belts. Previous post pic shows stens true blue belt from az and i think it says 82"...?

 

Both builds would be exactly the same for the predator swaps...

 

[Pullstart 59,687]

Surely they are different size, both length and girth 

[SylvanLakeWH 24,129]

Hhhmmm... maybe i only replaced one???

 

I can't remember... sorry. 

 

I do know i tried to get the pulley location the same...

[Pullstart 59,687]

Either way, the ole’ WHRat won’t be the only bus seat in Portage, WI this weekend!  Three machines loaded, three machines with fresh oil, and I flipped the belt left to right and it seemed to have pretty good bite loading up the ramp last night!  I know there’s at least one farm store ‘tween here and there!

[Pullstart 59,687]

For record keeping purpose… 5/8 x 82” would not fit the engine and trans pulleys alone, excluding the clutch.  I found this 5/8x84 belt in the flea market and it flops around a bit, but does the job great.  I’d imagine an 83” belt would be sweet.
