 Topic: Finally finished!!
Posted: 30 Jul 2012 at 4:28pm |
I finally finished the WD, 2 days before the hutch show!! Delivered to the owner on Thursday, he was just tickled to see it. It was neat to see a middle aged man get on his tractor with his hands trembling. The tractor got broke in on the dyno in hutch, after a long break in run it pulled exactly 34 HP on Sat, and on Sun I adjusted the timing under a load and she made 35HP. All stock, except 4-1/8" pistons.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

Well, heading up to the lake next week for some R&R, then getting ready for fall harvest. In the words of my (very accepting) girlfriend, "at least please let the orange paint wear off of your fingernails before you start another."
