Well it seems there is a demand for goat thread activity so here is what I have. First a stuck engine, plan is to pull the engine and get the head off to see what's going on, probably a re-sleeve and new pistons at a minimum. I received a few parts recently and finished the final two lights, the front marker lights. Also received two NOS bottom seat cushions and a seat.
I tried to have some flexible brake lines made locally(200 mile round trip)at a specialty shop but they said they could not get the right fittings. So I shipped them off to Royal Brass and Hose, they did them for another member here, they had them in and out pretty much the same day. I needed the 4 on the front of the carrier, I also bought a new quick release coupler as the seals on mine looked dried out. At $60 a gallon I don't want to risk any of that silicone brake fluid leaking out. As soon as the lines arrive and are installed I am going to attach the carrier back to the tractor and get it tucked in for winter. Given the tight quarters between the two I wanted all the parts replaced while separated. Also a shot of the goat as she sits now and the parts storage locker full of finished and NOS parts just crying to be installed.
