Hey fellas! Well, Episode 15 has been finished, and so has reassembly! I didn't have much left to do. Mounted the gauges, slid in the steering shaft, installed the spark plugs and wires, and mounted the generator. After all that was done, I began installing the tin work - the grille was first, then I went to work on installing the tank (but had to make a quick run to the hardware store for a couple fittings for the sediment bowl), and finally the hood. Last I made some of my own battery cables using welding cable and copper tubing for the ends. Topped it off with fluids and no leaks so far! I think everything is turning out great!
If you watch the video, there is a little teaser at the end. Let's just say I have to get a new battery as this one doesn't crank over fast enough - but the good news is the starter and starter switch work! :-D
Stay tuned for the GRAND FINALE episode 16! Thank you all for your help and support over the last few months - so far it's been great!
Also, one thing I had a question on was the auxiliary tank for the loader. How do I plumb that in to the liftall system? From what I have seen in pictures it looks like the outlet on the bottom of the tank is connected via hose to the inlet/fill tube on the touch control system. Is this correct?
Thanks all!
