Thanks Todd!:beerchug: I'm having a lot of fun with this project. Everyone on here is great and full of fun ideas and information.

Good to see the battery will turn. I was contemplating, but no time to get into the garage. Looks like there will be a nice space made for a toolbox with that mod. I will be taking your direction when I get back to mine. Having a place for pins will be sweet.
Great work you are doing there as always.

Full day of fabrication today:
Hydraulic cylinder mounted to check clearances.

Cylinder frame brace.

cylinder extensions welded on. Had to trim one end to not hit the back cover when fully extended.

On to the battery box.

782CC, I really liked your idea of a tool box on one side so I went with it.

Control arms all welded up. Didn't get to paint them tonight due to rain.

And since I got rained out for paint and waiting on a few hydraulic fittings to show up tomorrow, I installed the new rod ends. Should really tighten up the front end.

I'm impressed! :beerchug:

Very nice! Good job making a great machine better! What are your plans for a float on the three point?

Thanks! The third valve has a float position. That will be used for the 3 point.

Excellent job! :beerchug:

I am so jealous of your setup. Really like how that turned out. I will have to mod the filler to turn the battery. Still might as I don't want to raise the whole pan. Toolbox is elegant and simple, I really like it. May want to put some weep holes in the box if you have not already. And hey, since you are going that far. Add a couple tabs on the inside of the box to snap on some pin keepers.
I also updated steering links. The pin in that center T part froze in mine , wore the wrong parts so I had to bush all of that back up.
Sure is awesome work you have there. And fast too. Yours will be super-turbo-charged-NOS-propaned-dieseled by the time I get mine going again. lol

Very nice work Jason! :beerchug:

Now stop giving me ideas or I will never finish mine!:bigthink::biggrin2:
