Early Christmas for me... with help from Lew!
 

Got a nice package in the mail over Thanksgiving...! Unfortunately I was too sick to even open it an check it out!:bash2:

Lew hooked me up with all the power steering off of a Super Cyclops.. I hope to start on a semi customized 782 soon. Still looking for a Command or Vanguard to power it with..

Picture is crappy.. all I had was my old flip phone at the moment.. apparently the lens is scratched up

Cut the heat on in the shop, you are going to be there a while!:beerchug:

Nice score Jay! Looks like Santa Lew was good to you! (sorry, not meant to rhyme) That will be a nice conversion for your 782, make sure to post plenty of pictures so we can follow along.

So jelly, lots of fun ahead of you followed by a way more enjoyable machine to run.

Just sad to hear that an 1864 lost it's life...:RollEyes2:

Very interested in how it comes out. I have a super cyclops parts tractor that I hope to swap the steering into my 149.

Lew's gonna eat! ( Duke, 2014 )

Yeah John.. this will take me a while.. likely need A/C before its over with!:biggrin2:

Thanks Doc!! Prob take me a bit on this one!! I'll post as much as I can!:beerchug:

Thanks!! The 782 you did was an inspiration for this project... won't be anything like that one though! yours was over the top awesome!:beerchug: I didn't kill the cyclops!! Lew did it!!:biggrin2:


I know it will take some fab work and time! I hope to get started sometime after the holidays!:beerchug:


Pretty sure he will get a few meals off this one!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

How about setting aside a few days in late February...Just sayin...might be more fun with help!!!

Hmmm... last project we tried together took two years plus!:bigthink::biggrin2: But you did wire and plumb the gauges on my 1782 if I remember correctly!:beerchug::beerchug:

I probably need to come to OH and light a fire on some of your projects!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Good deal Jay.:beerchug: Will be much more enjoyable operating with the power steer...
That Lew, he's a pretty good guy to buy from.:bigthink: :biggrin2:
