Looks good as usual Sam! It will be a sweet tractor when you are done!

That's why when I have one apart I drill return holes in the bottom of the case to allow it to drain back into the center section. This one had globs about the size of large marbles in the tubes.

I have 3 that need cleaned and drilled. I'm a little bit scared to see how bad they are!

I'm waiting for the new rear wheels and tires from Xtreme and that will just about finish the tractor.
Why the new wheels? Are the Xtreme ones wider or better some how? Do they come already mounted?

I'm putting 26X12X12 Tru-Powers on it with 10-1/2" wide rims same as on my 2182. They will come mounted and painted.

How wide are stock SGT rims?

sam mac, you do really good work!! i made these brackets awhile ago, thought maybe i was stupid, didnt know there were problems like that, just didnt like the fact that 2 3/8" bolts on each side held rear to frame...mine only caught one more hole but then again its a smaller tractor too..was hoping to do a stainless driveshaft and two piece carrier also...just in case i do some thing stupid again later!! (motor wise) that super really is sweet!!

Only 8-1/2" I just don't like how the tires crown with the stock rims.

Your brace looks a lot like the Xtreme "Race Brace". Nice job. I'd like to see how you attached it to the frame. Just a FYI the GT brace will fit on the older GT's like your tractor. Not sure you need it on the gear drives because of how the front of the tranny case bolts straight to the frame.

Finished the 1782 today just waiting for the new boots. I'll try to get pics tomorrow. Snowing in Galax now so I put the plow back on the BX. That way we won't get enough to make it worth plowing. LOL. :biggrin2:

the "profile" piece is 3/16" stovk and on the top is a "return flange" that is 1/4" stock, welded together, kinda like a piece of angle i guess..then theres two verticle bolts holding it to the bottom rail of the frame...hindsight probably wouldve been easier to buy a set. lots of rasp action to clean up the plasma cutter mess...didnt know they even made em though...thanks for the info though..be cool to see that super in some snow action!!!
