Project Clydesdale

Now that I'm a little caught up at dad's and the shop it's back to exhaust. I am terribly wore out and sore from laying on cold dirt under dad's crawlspace doing pipes for 8 hours yesterday and about 6 the day before. It's so nice to be back in a warm shop, and upright lol.

The pipes are tight and set and the stainless pipe stacks are notched for the glass pack mufflers. I may make the notch deeper, we'll see. I think it's time for a little header wrap and see how it all looks then.

when you going to fire that baby up?

Morning Nappy, when the exhaust is done all I need is some wiring finished up to start it.

Mufflers are blasted + painted.

Except for circuits other than engine, and 1 engine green wire not in the schematic I think I have enough to start her up Monday.

I may put a 4 pin connector on the 4 Accy 10A fuses, that way I can take out 1 bolt, unplug 3 connectors, then pull the whole fuse block and short harness' out of the tractor in a minute. There is still wire covering to do and some small things but that can wait. We all want to hear it run like now lol.

Well... I got the mufflers on, fuse block assy in and plugged in, fuel in the tank and thought here we go. We didn't go far lol, the fuel pump is a wreck so I'm moving on to another modification. I refuse to put a Kohler made in China, or any other China fuel pump on this and fill my new engine full of gas like they like to do... I have another valve cover that is getting set up for an outboard pump, I'll just have to figure out where to put the pump if it stays. I also have an electric fuel pump coming in tomorrow that may be used.

I need to get the camera set up for some vids now, she is a real beast!

Here we go again lol.

Woo Hoo sounds like its got a turbo on it, shakes like an HD

It has a mild cam in it lol.

I think I'll post this vid in a few places, no one can tell what it is so our secret is safe...
