Working on fitting the radiator which sit above the trans. It has to hinge up for access to the parts below. I have machined up some warelon as a bearing so it will never seize and has built in oil properties and very easy yo use.

It is fully mounted with ability to just unbolt for removal. I just need to modify my hydraulic tank (again) so it doesn't hit the radiator. Another bit closer. Also I kept it down as far as I could in case I need to put an oil cooler on the top so the thermo fan does both.

That is a lot of oil.......
....... if it ever leaks you will come out fried like a peanut!!!!
My assumption is based on all the leaks on my old Massey tractor.... mind you my oil lines are all over 40+ years old. As always following your progress with envy!!!! ...both your weather and your skills. Bob C.

Bob, one would hope I don't get a big enough leak that cooks me like a peanut. When I first read your post I thought you were asking weather I had the skills
 You'd have a birthday coming up soon too Bob  As I have changed what engine that is going in this tank, I have changed the oil, filter and anything else before it goes in, I realized I never had a removable plate at the bottom for access to the sump plug. It is now done and I had to redo the exhaust and make a new flange bracket and weld in place.

Fabricated a new accelerator pedal as per the original. I am ever so lucky to have so many original parts to reuse and to copy. They were certainly made to not fail as they are very precise and strong.

It will be of course spring loaded and I am waiting on my new throttle cable to connect to my newly fitted linkage. Even though it is hydraulic, I still want the benefit of an accelerator pedal for speed as well as the tillers.

Would never question your skills.......
.... I am always amazed at all the things that you have designed, fabricated and installed.....
And yes that removable bottom cover to do oil changes will be appreciated in the months to come....... n hope that it is a better design than the 261 Chev engine that I transplanted in the C15a.... the plug is directly in line with the front driveshaft and I have to use a section of sheet metal to flow the oil in the basin. It would have been so easy to modify the oil pan drain location when I rebuilt the engine....... now I just live with it. Yup in January I will stop washing.......and be a dirty old man!!!!!! Keep up the good work. Bob C
