    Pulled the last part on the AC box to do some cutting and grinding on to fit the window rattler. I haven’t decided on the final cutting of the panels around the unit yet but doing some testing to see how it works. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010 #cucv

    I believe it is a Silver Maple. It might be time to get someone in to bring her down.

    Started another project of gutting the AC unit in preparation for a window rattler. All the major pieces are out so the planning can begin. Since I have a DC to DC charger for the house battery I’m hoping to be able to have it running while rolling down the road. Might have to change some air...

    I got the interior back together and got the reverse lights working. Had a setback on road testing because of some emergency tree work. Went and saw a patriot @aaronlewismusic , great time and will see again. But 50 miles so far and a trip to @brandywinebranch distillery to restock and a great...

    It's the newer 5.61 but still gives a good crawl ratio. 5.61 x 2.61 x 4.56 = 66.76

    First road test to check things out! Still have a few things to button up before this is checked off the list but she moves under her own power again! 🎉 🎉 💥 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010 #cucv #nv4500swap https://rumble.com/v1dxd6t-1st-road-test-1st-gear-4lo.html https://rumble.com/v1dxegx-big-booty-crawl.html

    Some not so exciting work yesterday working on the hydraulics of the bolt action transmission. Installed the reservoir, the slave cylinder, and the line from the master to the slave. I also fished out the wire for the kick down from the TH400 from underneath and left it in the corner. Just in...

    Continuing on with the bolt action conversion, I decided to take on the pedals today. While taking the original out wasn’t too bad, installing the new ones was kind of like herding ducks. The original four bolts, not bad, but the two on support rods for the master swinging around but have to go...

    Buttoned up the top of the transmission after filling it with some @redlineoil MT-85. Testing out some shifter boots and where the shifter falls… 👍. Painted and installed the transfer case skid plate. Then got to work with some C.A.D. design. Made a template off the master cylinder, then used...

    You're not looking close enough... :LOL:. But the concrete was sealed 30 days after it was poured, it seems to help.

    Just working at getting things back together. Top of the NV4500 peaking through the hole. Got the transfer case installed. Installed the @ruffstuffspecialties pinion guard I’ve had and the rear driveshaft. Installed the new @tomwoodsdriveshafts front driveshaft. And installed the transfer case...

    Sunday was a long day with the NV4500. The pilot bushing and the input shaft didn’t want to agree. The lift table was a creeper needing constant attention. But in the end there was a conflict resolution and bell housing and transmission came together… special thanks to my buddy Scott for giving...

    Well, SKF failure in my opinion… looks like bronze but sticks to a magnet. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Ordered another one from @allstarperformance that’s not magnetic and is longer with a flange 👍. The @tomwoodsdriveshafts replacement came in for my wobbly front driveshaft. Farm inspector checking in on the...

    Some holes on the lower right hand I would say are for balancing. Then 6 are treaded for the pressure plate.
