Not just for winter. More likely to freeze over in winter, yes, but can find ways to freeze over in summer as well.

Sorry for the lighting in the vids. It was late and very dark. I'll get some day vids taken at some point. Will get Weif to help out once I get the mower deck on and get to play in the grass. :masturbanana[1]: 1st test ride Closeup of running coupler and fiber disc Slow walk around in...

Ah yes, sleep. With how much I suck at getting it now, I'm gonna be utterly fawked in another 7 months. :haha::haha:

Simplicity/Allis GTs back in the day were all shaft driven instead of pulley driven. They mounted their motors' output side toward the front (for a front PTO) and instead ran a coupler to the drive shaft off the flywheel. The motors they used were all CCW rotation when viewed from output side...

It farts diamonds. :redneck:

I still have to redo some wiring as well since parts are in different places on this motor. But overall, I'm stoked!!! This thing has enough torque to pop mini wheelies :haha:

That was yesterday. Tonight I got into the shop and decided I really didn't want to unload the tractor. So I just drove the whole shebang in and worked on it as it sat. I started taking some basic measurements to see where I'd need to clearance. Did I mention how painful it is to take a...

Had shitty luck with old gas motors and thought I'd try something different :D 10 horse China diesel (yanmar knock off). First was taking off the recoil assembly. Found out the threaded holes aren't exactly equidistant to each other. Won't be a problem, but made drawing them into the CAD...

Bad effing ass. :cool::cool:

I'm 98% sure 7 gal tanks are just shorter. Both fit the same clamps.

:eeek: In your second post you said you were planning on spending 2300-2700 for just a lift. You can get a complete wheelable lifted XJ for less than that. So yes, you do have money for two rigs :fawkdancesmiley::haha:

Better idea: Leave WJ stock or at most a budget boost with slightly larger tires. Take WJ lift funds and buy an XJ already lifted/geared/tired for wheeling. Beat on the wheeler and still always get to work Monday morning. There is no good reason to wheel a WJ.

Already palleted and on a truck heading out west. Someone bought the whole shebang on Pirate. :frown: This thing has my production time cut down way more than I'd anticipated :cool: Between easier setting of the tube and the faster bends, I've halved or more the time it takes me to plow...

Well thank you my friend :cool: I'm having a blast working here for sure. :beer: And I shall try your white lithium suggestion.

Figured some of you might get a kick out of this. Up until now we've been using a standard issue hydro JD2 to bend all our tube. Well, in keeping with our plasma table and 60 ton CNC press, we decided to upgrade the ol' bender. Settled on the Baileigh Industrial RDB-250. Considering the...
