Steve,
Great job, and quick work with the turbo install. I hope to have an oilburning Cub one of these days. I think I have diesel running in my veins anyway..... Hope you see the fruit of your labor with the increased power, and the ever satisfying whistle of the "hair dryer"!!!!
Was the exhaust routed in the stock location, so the side panels can be reinstalled, or will the right side panel need modified to be reinstalled? Not a big deal either way, but for some reason, with me at least, if it came with the panels, they should be on there..... that is one reason I have tried some interesting solutions for the exhaust port issue I have on my 1450, so I can keep it "closed up"
On a side note. Nice job on 2182!!!!! It is really looking like a respectable Cub. I like the combo of the old and new, and the fact you disposed of all that blasted PLASTIC!!!!! Plastic should be used to contain your favorite tasty beverage, not the engine on a piece of machinery. Can't wait to see it all together. Hopefully a "782D" Panel will drop in on that one, to close it up also...... oh.... and the exhaust on the 2182 is pointing the wrong way..... LOL...... Not sure on your plans with it, but looking at your smoker, the 2182 should be red also, and I like the IH 82 series decals on it, with the proper model number sneaked in on the decal.... a set of 2182 decals like that would set the other one off!!!!!
Really look forward to seeing you drag the semi-mount around in 2016 with the turbo a howlin' and the coal a rollin', and if all goes well, maybe even in person!!!!!
