Swapped out the clutch tonight. Got part way apart for the front wheel joints.
Painted the green part of the exhaust to match the aluminized pipe.

Got wheel joints done and everything put back together.
Got a crummy vid. It was getting dark and the exhast blew apart on the first shift (diverting all the smoke into the cab), but you can hear it. Will have better tommorow.


Got boost line fixed, its laying down 40-41 psi. False alarm on the plenum cover.

Got weight rack and 700# on tonight. Did a little testing. Ground was very dry, and loose. Just wanted to get a feel for it. Dad buried the blade as soon as I got moving , so it looks real weak.
More crummy vid:



Tomorow we will see what goes and what blows.

Will get some actual good video of rolling coal too.

Isn't it pretty?

Got started on traction bars.

Probably over kill, but the tube was cheap.
