    Three legged animal...

    This is not my first rodeo and this is the front cab mount that came with my f100 When I moved the body to a replacement frame, I had to rebuild this section of the floor. That bar that is bolted to the mount and is only straped to the original body in few places. The floor...

    I going to use bolts on the top lip where the mount meets the floor, with another stip of metal over the top since is all holey. That would let me crimp that edge together good and tight. I dont see why steel structural rivets, cant be used for the rest of the edges.

    I dont see a option where the mount can be riveted to that front bit with it in the truck. The valid option I see is to remake that front bit, bending 16 gauge sheet could be done. Riveting to the floor and whats left of the brace, when riveted to mount is more plausible. So I cut what was in my...

    kubota d1105 looses prime running

    The was no return line left attached when I fixed the feed line in the tank, it was ran for some time like that with no issue, then it sat for close to a year and found it doing this. I dont have the return hose I just added all the way to the bottom, but far enough it will be submerged in the...

    Half-azzed paint job advice?

    A high build enamel will lay flat on its own and not need a perfect suffice to look good. You could look for a local paint shop and see if they can mix you some in a spray can, you can get a refill spray can and get a small bit from them if they dont. Just make sure the surfice is all scuffed up...

    kubota d1105 looses prime running

    The reurn line is new along with its hose that drops into the tank. When line was unhooked dealing with the injectors, it was self siphoning fuel from the tank. I will recheck the line off the IP and see if has a removable fitting I can check. This is the one I got and it has the right fitting...

    So now on to cutting out the main chunk of the mount... And the bad section of the floor it attached to... I saw also that this top lip was tweked a bit... And the insulation was serving as sponge... So picked a spot to tug at the floor so can beat at it with a hammer...

    So you must sail a similar ship as me running on the mine set of one mans trash is another mans treasure, the depth of the swamp is unkown till you dive head first into it. A shell is all I need to build the monster I wanted and that is what I got 10 years ago. I had the chance to drive both a...

The only time I ever had the death wobble was when my track bar came loose. Also outer tie rods should be adjusted so the drag...

    Half-azzed paint job advice?

    As for rattle cans, I dont recomend them much. As for paint type, a high build enamel lays best for a single stage. A mix of both eat time waiting since there is no hardner in a rattle can, you have to wait for the paint to level out before using a heat gun on it. I used dupli-color hi-build on...

    So now on to the mount... So that means the cab needs proped up... It dose take a few precarious placed pieces of wood... I only have two large stands, so the axle is precarious set on blocks to get the tire out the way.. Now for the autopsy... I am counting three...

    If you have, Im not the person to ask about the wiring. There is not a good chance I made a wiring diagram, and yes I use all the same color wire for anti theft reasons. So good luck wiring gremlins if there is any. LOL :joker:

    Three legged animal...

    Well I started by scrbbling out a plan... Then I cut a slit in the base metal... Then stuffed a c-clamp in to flatten it up some... Then with the further cut patch back in place I can further flatten the base metal with the air hammer. I dont have time to try and make the...

    kubota d1105 looses prime running

    I am dealing with a kubota d1105 that is losing prime running and exhausted all paths I can think of past replacing the IP. I started by replacing both the feed and return line along with both filters, this solved nothing. So I pulled the mechanical lift pump, there was no sign of leaking into...

    I had some time today to test fit the patch. This is how bad the fit was at first and did not get it much better. I marked it and cut out as much of the bad metal as could off the floor... and cut some off the patch that was fighting me and sank more screews in it. Im going to...

    Three legged animal...

    Yea, not even close and had me making stuff work. This show the piece with the jam switch I had to cut out vs the patch I made so can use what I had on the post. Even with the extra patch, there was limited area for it to attach to the original post. Then there is the area it is...
