Finally all togather!!!

Post by FarmLife » Sun Mar 16, 2008 5:25 pm

Finally got the crawler all togather and took it out for a spin last week and it seems to be running pretty well turns nicely. Waiting on the new wiring harness so we can hook up the generator and not cause a fire :shock:

Here is Me on the right and my older brother (co-owner) just before the voyage out of the garage.

It's good to see that you've got it running. Hearing it run the first time is always an exciting time.
She should be able to pull good with those nice pads.

I see you were able to sell your loader also. That had to make you happy.

Selling the loader paid for the original MC fenders, and hopefully it is going to a good home where it will be used.

We had one problem when the left steering clutches cleaned up from driving around and the pressure plate fingers were tight against the throwout bearing making that side slip. We thought the worst but once we adjusted the throwout bearing off of the fingers a bit she would climb up anything.
