If the mule drive/mower subframe is on that 1250, push on, or put some pressure on, the rear of the mule drive bracket where it slips over the shoulder bolts in the frame. The bracket will sometime vibrate at about that engine speed, and it sounds like a rod clatter. I had it happen on my 800, and it took me a long time to find the source of the noise, and then I found it by accident. Also had a 1200 do the same thing.

Well, I forgot to charge my battery.

Here is the best I can do for after as of now.

Tedd:
If you stretch that frame out juussst a little further, you'll be able to add a hammock as a comfort option to the "Shamrock" or whatever it is you're calling this one. I'm kind of interested in seeing this one develop. Good luck!

Hey Art.....Do you have one of these??

 

[mgonitzke]

Tedd-

Cool! But isnt that gonna steer really bad, being so long, even though you're using the supersteer axle?

 

[jblackwelder]

How much wear will driving on the pavement with Ag tires do. Thought about getting some but drive on the pavement some. Will this significantly wear down Ag tires?

Look at thie pic Kraig sent me. Hmmmmmmm.

THANKS Kraig!

Joel "B",
I'd say only if you are doing a lot of serious turning.

Matt,

As for the steering, yep it will be a little w--i--d--e but I have a little something up my sleeve on that one. I'm hoping to be able to "shorten" the wheel base when I have to make a tight turn. When my batteries are recharged I'll post a pic or two that will clear this up.

Keith,

Now there is an idea!! It's name is Foxtrot

Wow Ted- that's LOOnnnnG!

Keith- I was thinkin' mebbie a wet-bar and a hot-tub, like them rediculous stretch-limo's that only appear in rap-videos.

After considering Ted's drawing, I thought perhaps it'd be a good application for a pair of shortend skid-steer tracks... and make it a halftrack... mebbie fab a replica of an old MACK WW2 machine...with that awesome steel roller up on the front bumper, and a hydraulic winch?... Oh... and a downsized (mebbie a .25ACP) quad-50...

Dave,

The thought has crossed my mind. Kind of a blend of Dan H's crawler and my own twisted imagination.

Here a little mock up, pardon the flat front tires, that will be fixed tomorrow.

Can anyone either post a picture of the original grill for a CC 127, or tell me where to look to see one?

Thanks Scott

Tom,

I took this a couple of weeks ago. This 4166 has a forklift attached to the back and is used to haul around concrete septic tanks. Its located just across the border in Wisconsin.

The guys above sell'um too.

Wyatt, the fuel pump that assembles above the boss is part #47 559 01s. I used this pump on a 341, not sure if its different for the smaller engines.

Tom-
You thinking what I've been thinking?

 

[wcompton]

Darrell-
