She actually doesn't even ask for food. She prefers to be the only dog. The bowl is Bailey's (my son's yellow lab, a frequent visitor) I believe she deliberately takes Bailey's bowl outside so we won't feed Bailey.

After it today, figured out how to get my hand into the clutch return spring area, needs one as this broken one is corroded where I will not re-end & reinstall. Pulled throttle, have all the spacers clean but gonna need bolts and floor gasket. Pulled Right Seat(Jump Style on a box) and cut away floor matting, underpad still wet after all the time in shop, Box base is crap. Need to pull shift boot and driver seat next, base section also trashed, brake pedal is off until get carpet and underpadding installed, two of three throttle spacers will be installed prior but throttle will set off, need new pivot pin(Plastic). Did find $1.12 in change!!

Going to have hairline welded up on Hydraulic Tank end of R Fuel Tank refit the Cover Plugs and keep. Any recommends on TIG filler rod or will 4043 Mild Aluminum be fine? I have no intention of Restoring Hydraulics but tank will remain on machine with the PTO drive(Have Seal and Gasket Kit for that). And yes I am aware the SS Step threshold is corrosion lifted, not a interference so may just remain that way.

Looks like you've got some fun builds going on!

 

[DMiller]

Whole Wagon!!

Thinking will wash down floor pan with a mild soap solution try to reduce any residual salts still present.

Better check clutch pedal cross shaft bearings in column frame. Easy to get to behind center dash but a slight pain in the ass to change.

 

[DMiller]

No lateral play and no longitudinal play, were a Bit 'Dry' when got behind dash a little spray lube and smoother, linkage below cab seems a bit excessive!!!

You shouldn't have mentioned that $1.12, now Junkyard is gonna be sending you a demand letter to get his money back!

 

[Junkyard]

I sent a couple Italians I know to collect it for me
