Harman Handgrip on Digger Lever
Tracks and Chain painted
The right side as completed
She finally has a new seat
Hear she is and she is looking good
The new muffler constructionI Went to Harvey Briggs Welding & Radiator shop located in Charlestown/
Ranson, West Virginia and bought some pieces of metal and I cut out the pieces with the plasma cutter
I first cut a square piece of metal and welded it into the center of
the 5 inch pipe
I next took a slug (END PIECE) and fitted it inside
I next tacked the coupling to the end plate and left a good inch inside between the end of the coupling
and the baffle plate
I screwed in the piece pf pipe to keep welding slag off the inside threads of the coupling
I next welded the inlet end in real good
Here I have welded the outlet pipe to the end plate and chucked it into the lathe so
as to hit it with a hammer and get it somewhat inline (TRUED it UP)
I have it trued up and welded but good now to spin her around and make a final good looking heavy duty
muffler
You would be surprised what a good
ole country boy can do with a little time on his hands
Another look at a 3 hour muffler
I am not going to screw it on yetI am going over to Briggs’ and see if it passes his ok(
Come on Harvey give it the once over)
Here she is painted and with NEW DECALS
Grilles were a real piece of workHarvey Briggs helped once again as he supplied the metal to make the bending jig
to form the bends on the grilles
Panel has a new volt meter now as of Saturday the 21st. Of March
Hood hammered out somewhatGrilles missing
Seat metal was straightened and primed
This thing was a sick puppy when I Found her
Rear was smashed into the gearbox used skid loader, chain and torch to get back loose from
gearbox
Replaced 3 drive belts and the alternator belt
There is the Wisconsin motorIt had a stuck exaust valve so the motor was repaired first
Digging chain is in poor shape and I am looking for a used one
