overdrive pulley, new bracket on order. already have a new pump. Will check all clearances after install, along with squaring up the axles to the chassis, as first post-CA maintenance. Back at least to wreck-wheel status at that point.

need to see if I can find a carquest (and the receipt) to get core charge back, I think that was like $160 or something.

saving this for later... I kinda like the goatbuilt prewired option. need to look at my old wiring sketch, and compare this to the full breaker option.

had to rewire a lot of the mowzer. There was an unused hot terminal in the factory harness on the supply side of the breakers that has been fine for 50 years now, and shortly after moving things around fixing the steering box a couple weeks ago, it decided to arc out and melt two wires in the harness and give me a near-fire behind the dash late last week.

All better now.

not a single crimp connection on 928 or 572 seems to be working fine.  All solder and double heat shrinked


the only weekness in my wiring is how i connected to relays.  i think they will get soldered soon.  Had a spade terminal pop off once wreck wheeling.

Newer tractors have a similar setup but it's on a neat pivot that's spring loaded so the tire can turn full lock and the fender stops 75% or so of the way.

Power steering all set. Forgot I need to get a shorter belt. Arie I'll hit you up late this morning.

Everything else looks good at first glance. Light bar re mount, little lights are loose. Needs bolt and fluid check and tools packed.

I want some weatherproof 2 pin connections for my lights. Anyone have favorites or should I just get into weatherpack tools? Assuming they're rated for high enough current.
