Not sure when I would next end up driving east but I do have the goal of hitting the show next year. IF y’all were to make a deal, it would be best likely to drop it with Jeremi in WI or IL on the way TO the show… but if not I’m sure I’ll be at the show and will make my way to WI eventually… 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 69,916 #61 Posted October 29, 2022 I’m waiting on some hydraulic stuff for the 520Xi loader project, so I decided to take a look at this aluminum work of art. Richie’s Skittles build for reference… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 69,916 #63 Posted October 29, 2022 Tells me I can trim the “back” tab off the stock mounting plate. *note* I’m not sure if y’all realize this, but the brass elbow is not just an elbow for a vent. It’s a full blown vent system! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a rollover valve. Vents when installed as shown and if the “vehicle” rolled over, it shuts off preventing fuel spill. That’s how I read it anyways When I made my tank, I put the outlet in the bottom center hence the U shaped cut out in the mounting plate. Not sure why I did it that way. When people started wanting tanks, I wanted them to be able to fit a stock setup without someone having to really modify anything. That’s why we put the outlet in the lower corner. They worked good.

Pullstart 69,916 #69 Posted October 31, 2022 Richie’s creation fits like a glove! I opted to keep the heat shield for now. If anything, it is a great mount for the coil and condenser. This engine has a low run time since rebuild, so I re-torqued the head bolts as well. True Bear style @ebinmaine I just snugged them until they felt right. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 69,916 #74 Posted 1 hour ago It’s been a while since Colt moved under his own power! I blew a hydraulic cylinder line back in the day, probably late 2022, or maybe spring time 2023, I pulled it apart, bought the hose kit from Lowell, and it’s been sitting ever since. We’re doing lots of work around the pool project, and a friend needed to dump two loads of fill that could be good top soil with some clean up work. Aaron has been camping in my driveway all weekend and has been a big help with the projects to be done. Between the cultivator, grader blade, tilller my plow truck, and quite a bit of hand manipulation too, we got the soil cleaned up and smoothed out! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
