Project ugly duckling

It's your lie, tell it however you want!

Andy, the front round bar is welded to a flat plate which is bolted in. (notice the tabs welded on to put the strap bolts thru) I can't remember if the rear angle iron is welded to the frame or welded to plates and bolted.

Thanks Pete I figured it wouldn't be super hard. Need to figure my trans out before I mess with the tank.

Andy,if you use the pressure switches to actuate the o/d & l/u,buy Hobbs switches that are adjustable above 55psi if you intend to Jack with the line pressure. I'm having to deal with this now.

I'm going to leave of setup the way it is now and run a switch to control lockup once I swap over. Right now my 518 decided to start bleeding out of both ends.

[ellis93]

Did you check the vent? Could be building pressure.

my 518 decided to start bleeding ..............

Taco wasn't over visiting lately was he?

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah vent is fine. This may kill me making it to sop again.

[ellis93]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[dazedandconfused]

Its irritating it just decided to start flowing out each end at the same time. My buddy said its on the rag. lol

[dazedandconfused]

So I'm going to try and get a new driveshaft made and see if it will stop the vibration I have and hope the rear seal stops working its way out.

New seat.

Pretty comfy? How's the leg room?

I was wondering the same. I know how mine is, I figure yours is gonna be a tight fit.

[dazedandconfused]

Leg room is the same as more. I wish I could have got it down just a little more so the seat back would go where the other seat was. I kept it as low as possible and cut up the factory seat frame. The seat bottom can physically not go any further back or down. I need to do some pondering. If I could get it 1/2" to an inch lower it would tuck back in the cab like my old seat did without the head rest.
