Looks like the weeks are about that long in the GWN you did say you would have it in fixed and back out plowing snow in a week. I know what it can be like I fix and build enuogh of my own stuff.

well it was a good day in the KINGDOM, got the tracks tightened up and the master pin welded. i used the threaded rod to pull it together and used a track pad to make sure the bolt holes line up.
i did up hand weld to seal the master pin. this will do for miles of winter freighting.

did the test run today because i needed the shop to thaw out the water truck. i don't put the seat o until everything has been adjusted, so the small fuel tank and the 5 gallon pail are only temporary, LOL
things went well till i ran out of fuel plowing my nieghbour's yard, never thought at full throotle and pushing a full blade and blowing black smoke would eat up the little fuel tank. so i just towed THE HOOD backwards with the steering clutches tied off back to the KINGDOM. no sense playing with a bunch of fuel when i'm going to put the fuel tank back on. so tomorrow i'll finish the project. the water truck is more important, LOL

Where's the pic of you and the "bucket seat"??
Well at least it doesn't sound like you broke anything on the "pilot run" LOL

sorry old magnet, couldn't drive the cat and work the camera at the same time, LOL
ok, now try and push a cold cat backwards in the little shop with the blade angled. it fits but not straight. couple of hours and will be back in business plowing deep snow.

Looks cozy alright, still ya got more covered space to work in than I do. Got 3,000 sq. ft. of triple garage and space under the house but still have a "Montana" shop. Collected so much stuff I've driven myself outdoors although that isn't much of a problem in our climate:D :D
