Ian 2,417 #206 Posted January 20, 2016 Good work James The alternator looks just fine where it is, you might want to think about making a cover for it though to keep any rain out,, 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #207 Posted January 20, 2016 Good work James The alternator looks just fine where it is, you might want to think about making a cover for it though to keep any rain out,, that's a good idea Like Norm said a guard of some sort !

diggerjames 543 #208 Posted January 23, 2016 Hi all progress has slowed slightly but still making it today has been a good day to start with o now have my lathe up and running , but back to the tractor I have now moved the exhaust to go up right which now looks better and is inline with the alternator so looks moor in keeping only problem now is the alternator has packed up so a new one is required . 3 the showman, nigel and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #219 Posted January 25, 2016 It's a custom machine anyway. Build it as you want it. 2 Ian and diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #220 Posted January 26, 2016 It's a custom machine anyway. Build it as you want it. cheers Norm Nigel this is what I'm thinking of doing as we said its a custom machine but I also don't want it to look daft so I'm after your advice this is what I'm thinking 1 Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #222 Posted January 26, 2016 Looks ok, but maybe a bit cluttered compared to the LH side. Can the exhaust be put on the left to balance things out a bit? Maybe something along the lines of a Bolens exhaust? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diggerjames 543 #223 Posted January 26, 2016 Not really because of the manifold but the air cleaner could I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #224 Posted January 26, 2016 If you decide to mount the filter on the left, you could fit a toolbox above the alternator. Just a thought. 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
