The fenders did go on the other night as planned, but the shop got pretty tore up and it wouldn't have done the 'fenders' any justice to be shooting pics of them in such a mess. My son and I are thrilled about how they look.
I was able to get an exhaust manifold put together. It took two tries as the first assembly we threw together the other night was interfering with the grill surround. We added and extension to the muffler and have a little rain cap for it too. We're not sure if we are going to clamp the muffler on or just permanently weld it in place....what are the chances of it ever needing to be replaced anyways...
On a recent post, I shoed pictures of a double vee drive pulley we modified to suit the vtwin, giving us two drive ratios by simply unbolting and flipping over. Well, the exhaust ate up the room we needed for it, so it is over at my buddy's machine shop getting parted back down to one.
Can anyone guess where the gas tank is going? Hint (last pic).
I'm planning to fabricate a custom gas tank from 5" or 6" diameter tubing.
***I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE***
Can someone with a rear implement lift lever give me reference dimensions from the fender mounting pan to the highest point of the cast lift arm when it is in the raised position? Maybe one horizontal dimension from the edge of the pan to the top edge of the lever and a vertical dimension from the upper lip of the pan to the top of the lever. I need to make sure that the tank doesn't interfere with it as we plan to add one to this tractor (if we could ever find one....)
Thanks in advance for your help!

Looking Good! I like the stack, rain cap, and the white fenders
Where exactly did you get the parts for the exhaust? That style of rain cap i get from my Case IH dealer.
