Thanks PACub100.

Got the front remotes finished today. There was just enough room to put them under the toolbox. I stole the quick connectors from my Kubota since they’re the same size as the ones on my 100. I just happened to have a couple of hoses that were the right length.

Here’s a couple pics of the piece I made to hold the quick couplers. It clamps around them and is bolted to the frame. I also made a new filler panel for the levers.

I’ve been working on a set of wheel weights that will look like the cast center of an IH 1066 38” wheel. A friend measured a set of wheels and made a scaled down drawing for me. Today, I designed the scale wheel weights to mount to my wheel weights. View attachment 139721View attachment 139722View attachment 139723View attachment 139724

Did you ever get this one finished???

Did you ever get this one finished???

I haven’t worked on it lately. I did take some measurements from some of my brother’s full size weights to get the scaling correct.

I decided to narrow the front wheels 1” to 4-3/8” wide to get the tire sidewalls to stick out past the wheels. The Firestones don’t have the step between the bead and sidewall like all other tires I’ve used. I also added fake lug bolts to the wheels and put in tubes.

Finished painting the satin black on my wheel weights today.
