The wheels look GREAT! From what I've seen/read, that's the hardest part of the build. Really nice work! John

When I joined this community way back when, It was a"fun" place. Recently, I saw a post & was not able to view it. I messaged "Sheldon" & he told me that only "Supporting" members were able to view it. Well. I guess "Supporting members" is quite the literal term, Myself, along as MOST of...

Congratulations on a fine runner! That has some power! Great job on the sheet metal work, it looks fantastic! John

We've had some pretty mild weather here on the shores of Lake Erie. We typically get more than 100 inches of snow in a season here, so far, only like 43 inches. We had the warmest February on record I believe. Usually at this time the inland ponds & lakes are frozen over enough for safe travel...

I LOVE this! I like the rear wheel design, I always thought the rear wheels needed to be more aggressive. Looks like you're off to a good start, John

I started going through my files to see what I could dig up. One of the last projects I worked on was creating the "Proper" sheet metal developments of the many sheet metal parts used. Probably not necessary, but I wanted to play with the sheet metal module of my modeling software & I learned...

That is very nice! Looking forward to seeing working drawings of it! (Post 'em in the plans/downloads) John

It looks like you're doing pretty good with your set ups. It looks like you have this well thought out. I'm sorry I can't help you in the tooling department, I haven't built this engine. You had a good set-up for the wheels, I think the rest of it will be pretty easy for you. Please keep...

From what I can see after looking through my books & notes, The gear faces are 1/8" & only the crankshaft pinion & bull gears have hubs (the other gears are idlers & held with screws in the end of the shaft or pressed/glued on. Or as Mike mentioned, using a soldered in hub. The hubs on both the...

Rudy gave the parts list in the drawings with the supplier & the gear specifics. I think there are a couple plan sets floating about but after going through those I broke down & bought the book "Building Rudy's Tractor" from Village Press, well worth it just for the pic's & assembly info. I...

That's beautiful! Where did you get the plans for it? John

Wow! Those parts look GREAT! Nice work! John

Beautiful work! How did you lay out the sheet metal tray? I see you have the flat pattern in CAD, did you just do the bend calcs the old school way with math? It turned out beautifully (As the rest of the baler). A really nice project! Cozy shop... (Looking forward to the Case working...

But...do they need to be? It's not the "Full size car". I agree with DDMckee54, making forms for brass & light steel. In the time it took you to print one fender, you could have pressed out quite a few fenders. I know you'll say that this is a "one off", but that's probably what you thought...

That's nice! I didn't know there was such thing as a "Possum box". John

I finished a plumbing repair. The sink/washer drain in the basement, I DO like that PVC. I had to rip out some piping between iron & PVC, & glued one end up to a union, & used a "Fernco" fitting to re-connect it to the stub of iron piping I left (Don't want to mess with that. it's buried in the...

Great work Steve! (On both projects) I like the headlights, will you be installing some type of electrical system? (hide a battery box somewhere to run the lights?). John

Fantastic work! John

Nice work Ved! It's fun building the prototypes. John

I can't say enough about how much I Like your set-ups, very well thought out, the kind of thing that keeps you up at night. Great work! John
