147R updated:
Removed the foot pads from the 127 donor Cub.
Removed the neutral safety switch, maybe it will be a good one. I need to build or find the bracket that activates it.
Cleaned all the 3 point parts and painted them. Should be able to install in a day or so. I took off the original Brinely sticker and plan to re-glue it on later!
Completed welding and filling in the bottom of the 'trunk". Several slight mistakes will be able to be covered with washers
Still have a lot of clean up on the fenders even after sand blasting! Some thin coats of spot putty and or bondo to improve the look.
Pulled apart the steering box from the donor 127 and it looks about 100% better than the original 147 steering box. Cleaned all the parts of old grease. and examined. Is there any way to refurb the end of the cam follower? This one has some flats. Bearings looked good! Its going to be cleaned painted and installed as is. I have to draw the line somewhere.
Do you know a Cub Hydro weights a lot? I wrestled this donor Cub frame and rear end off my small yard wagon only to find one of the cheap wheels collapsed on the wagon. That's why I have a mig.
We keep moving along slowly!
Don't give up on me I was reading how to get the pictures off the camera
We did get a 1 first, 2 seconds and 2 third place ribbons at the fair for honey and syrup!
Regards,
Chris
