That prolly works great..... unless someone cut the wire, used a butt connector to splice in a blue wire and routed it to a different place and then covered it all up with plastic split-loom. Pretty sure this is 90% of the reason this thing stayed broken for ~15 years.... no one had a clue that...

Well, it's definitely easier to see up in there with the lighter color. And I realize that all the original wires had labels embedded into the jacket but damn, they could have used a few different colors! Hard as heck tracing wires when they're all the same color - especially after the Groban...

Not much to report lately. I changed the way I had some stuff wired in the control box. I fixed a couple of things that I had wired wrong and I've been documenting exactly how it's wired and re-drawing the schematic, basically from scratch. Want everything well documented so if / when it...

Piddling around today. Bolted on some more parts - muffler too. Probably going to regret bolting all that on as I'm not finished with the wiring yet. So I think I mentioned all the new enclosure bolts are stainless with stainless washers and nylock nuts. So I've been using Never Seize on...

Six and a half months so far......

Well, I spent about 3 hours soaking and cleaning the paint gun tonight. I'm sure I'll need to pull it back out for some touch up at some point but for now, I'm done!!

Last pieces to be painted!!! Weather permitting, I will flip them over and paint the other sides on Sunday and I will be DONE painting!!!

A little bit.

Small step forward - mostly just messing around so I bolted this on.

Naw, I was just telling my son the other day; Of all the things I've lost during my life, I miss my mind the most!

Look at these pics: I don't remember but that battery hold down must have been just laying up inside there. It certainly wasn't "installed". I guess that's why I don't remember taking it off or where it was installed.

Yes, having been around boats most of my life, these are pretty nice battery boxes. Pretty happy with them. I modified mine a bit. Was having problems getting the lids off even before I re-installed the radiator due to the clips on the top of the boxes - the ones in the back being unreachable...

Oh, I got them tied down now since I didn't want them vibrating all over the place. Got them in boxes and the boxes are strapped to the "floor". They aren't going anywhere.

Darn it! I figured it was something for the batteries or the fuel tank but couldn't remember taking it off. Thanks, guess I don't need that anymore. :)

Ok, I got a part I really can't figure out. No clue where this came from but I'm pretty sure it's a part of this set. Anyone have a clue? The piece of channel with 3 holes in it... I've looked at the drawings in the TMs and don't see it there. It looks like the braces they used for the...

Took it easy today. Needed a holiday from this project and splitting wood. Test fit the intake grille and made a plate to cover some holes - in the interests of bug abatement.

Yeah, I sandwiched it all together (less the grille) on the "bench" and used the 4 bolts with the pass-thru holes on the front grille to hold it all together while we lifted the whole assembly (less the grille) into place on the skids. Then I hung the grille on and started trying to get the...

I was thinking about you when I typed that in. Was thinking: boy, I bet Guyfang knows exactly what I'm talking about!

Made some visible progress last night / today> Broke down and bought 2 batteries. Got the battery cables finished and installed. Installed the battery charger - it was just laying up in there. Now it's bolted down. Got the radiator, shutter, radiator support, grille and fan installed. I'd...

Gas is more fun though! We get "ground hornets" around here. They'll build a nest under a tree in the leaves piled up at it's base and they are just downright viscous if you disturb them, A few years ago the wife got into a nest with the lawnmower and they just tore her ass up! I got 2...
