diggerjames 543 #251 Posted March 1, 2016 Evening all progress has been a little slow as late with work and family but I have managed to do a few things ! With me now making it six wheel drive I now don't need to have the rear axle articulating this does two things , makes me able to strengthen up the load bed , and makes it less likely for the chain to slip off , I have plenty of articulation on the front axle so it should be ok ! I have also put the bonnet on and I have to say it sits nice and tall such I love ! 2 nigel and Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diggerjames 543 #258 Posted March 9, 2016 Hi all a major update I'd say , I've now fitted the intermediate shaft for the front axle which I had Dibna machine me a key way in the bar ( many thanks mate ) . And fitted the drive belts and chains and all in all a good job done it still needs tidying , and I've now redesigned my steering slightly , but that's on the next update here's a video 2 Cub Cadet and Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
