A few more things done today on the 100.
Got the lift handle back on, along with the arm for the sleave hitch. Also made up a release rod return spring washer for below the spring in the lift handle, was that a bear to get it to work smooth.
Getting the lift arm hooked up was another story, there were alot of words that weren't in the dictionary:angry:
But I noticed I forgot to fill the creeper before installation, I can do it through the breather, right?

Great pics, Todd! You're getting close.

Todd,
Great detailing.
I really like that idea of lifting the front to work on and detail the under side.
Its sure going to look spiffy:)
Regards,
Chris

Well I read about filling the creeper, freaked for nothing. Fill through the breather (dah)
Back to today. I got the sleave hitch, floor-boards and fenders put on, I think by next week, I'll be pullimg apart the engine:beer2:

Todd,
Your going to have to throw a blanket over that at night. The glow will keep the neighbors awake!:) Man that is coming together nice. Is that stainless or chrome fasteners? I like the addition of the acorn nuts to cover the treads. Your going totally bling on us here!
Great close up detail shots of the sweet 100!
Regards,
Chris

Thanks,
Chris, I only used stainless with the acorn nuts, everything else is new bolts, nuts and washers. I know it's not the original IH hardware, but I wasn't intending a full blown restore, just a "Face Lift"

Awesome pics, Todd!

Sloppy day here today, that means it's a cub kinda day!
But it wasn't as I planned. Had to take the lift handle, lift bar and lift bar attaching plate out because it seemed to be binding on the lift bar.
I noticed the lift bar has a slight bend on the front, and it seems I had it on upside down, (flipped) so took it out and turned it around and now there isn't a bind. I didn't think these bars had a slight bend, or is it just mine?
I can tell you, I'd rather go to the dentist than take that out again:angry:
(sorry, no pics)

I think I would rather take out the parts you mentioned instead.

Looking good with the bling
