Project Clydesdale

Well I had peeps in this afternoon so I didn't get a lot done lol. The distribution block is mounted where it will be and the main Pos cable to the battery and block are made, the 2 main feeds to the fuses for the switch Battery terminal and Regulator feed are on the block also. Tomorrow is another day, now it's supper time.

nice work and hope you fire that engine up soon.......

I hope to fire it up this weekend. Mondays are always wild so all I had time to do today is make the exhaust flanges. A little clean up and welding and they'll be done. I may put something temporary on it to fire it up sooner. My 4" stainless steel stacks will be here on Friday, my exhaust peeps only deliver on Fridays, I wish I had remembered that last Thursday...

Exhaust flanges are done and the wiring harness fuse block connections are started, I need a bigger bench.

Exhaust is close to where it needs to be, I just need the stacks to get it right and finished.

Why is it the factory wiring in the service manuals are wrong most of the time... I have a green wire in the engine connector and there is no green in the manual...

The engine connector has been replaced and reconfigured to a Wheel Horse, except for that dang green wire lol. I have all of the parts out and ready to make a male connector for the engine, a female for the switch, and my harness material, fuse blocks and junction block in between. Everything is on a cart near the tractor ready to go.

This stuff isn't hard but it sure is time consuming. There are a few extra circuits for all of the cool extra stuff going on this one.

My first thought was oh my what have I done... My second thought was there are stacks, then there are Man Stacks.

I mean the tractor is big but the stacks are ridiculous...

I have a question, The rain caps take up a lot of space. What looks the best to you, the 15 degree beveled end without the caps, caps facing each other, or more space between the pipes with the caps going the same way? I don't care much for the caps going the same way, all of the space between the pipes looks weird to me, they take up over half the hood lol. I'm debating the stagger as well...

I got a wild hair and thought I could get the headlights done today, and they mostly are. A little 1/4" textured ABS to make the cover panels, a little cutting and welding, a few brackets, and voila lol. This reminded me of the old car stereo days making custom abs panels for things. I even got pics of each step so I can put this in a tutorial section later after this one is made public.

I think all Horses should have LED projector headlamps and halos.
