Adventure Driven's photos and videos of their M1079

[DiverDarrell]

Tomorrow when I get home from work, I’ll post many photos and measurements. I lost all the photos of the install process when an sd card crapped the bed. But I did it by feel and by dial measurements. Feel was spot on.

I just used the arch on the side and told my buddy I needed to keep that. No need for exact measurements close is all you need.

Would you change anything if you could on how this final ring came out? If so what?

just for clarity sake..... Arch? as in the 4 large machined spot the pin/shaft sits in?

 

[DiverDarrell]

Yes the arch for the pins. Nothing I would change but have pink paint on hand so it’s easier to find

The dimensions of the ring are irrelevant. In fact, by taking it down more than just opening the top, there stands a chance it wont load the pinions the same from warping when bolting (hypothetically).

I simply took the top off a cap with a cutoff wheel, then faced it on a mill.

It only needs to have two flat parallel faces. I took mine down to the bolt mounting face, so I could use the same bolts.

We install a ton of solar on Brutus. Here is a video showing the install. James from Northern Arizona wind and sun came out on a Sunday to install it all.

How many batteries are you using for storage? I’ve got 6 GC2 210Ah batteries that I’m using and still want to get 2 more.

 

[coachgeo]

How many Watts of panels did you install?

 

[Adventure Driven]

The batteries are next, have not yet decided on what to do.

If you’re concerned about $$$$ then stick with the Interstate GC2 210Ah batteries, I get mine from Costco for about $105 out the door including core charges. BUT, if you have the money I would suggest using Chevy Volt/Nissan Leaf/etc... battery packs instead. May not give you as much total kWh for the money, but they will last SO much longer. I’m even considering going the Tesla pack way, which is just a bunch of 18650 batteries. Just a thought to consider.

I have a friend who races mini electric go karts. He gets the rechargeable battery packs from Ford electric/hybrid cars from the junkyard. They are supposed to be very long lasting and they are light.

We were out trying our new KC Lights direct bolt in 7" round headlights, huge improvement once it gets dark.
