Hello everyone-
3627 at its new home, (mine). Electric Start Pony fired the main with a little more time than my 2T typically takes, but I’ll get used to what it takes to get the diesel rolling over. 

The front tandem wheels got it to the trailer, and almost on, but rain on the deck was too slick. Nudged with a hoe, it walked right up. 

More to come, after the weather passes!

Keep safe!

Looks good. I will light the fire and be the first to say your front tires are backwards.

Hi, bernie.
Lookin' good - thanks for the photos. The front tire rotation is the LEAST of your problems - and don't let these 'wannabe perfectionists' ruin your day.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Hi, Bernie.
Well, they won't do you or anybody else much good in the box. To become useful and serve their purpose, they HAFTA be fitted to the machine. C'mon, man, 'gittermoovon'.

LOL.

Great advice Deas., I owe you $0.02 😁. It’s going to be a tight fit in my pole barn and once I get my Ford 971 project done I think this one is next.

Keep safe!

bernie, you need to extend the shed then. just be aware the accumulation of stuff grows to suit the shed. so thats how they drive the rear wheels with a chain each side. an engineered weak point.

i wonder if the current models still use that idea or if the have gone to a twin differential power divider setup like prime movers have.

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Hi, Trainzkid88.
NO, they haven't - - - and there izza VERY good reason for that. The newer ones do have a differential with a diff lock which Bernie's machine doesn't but that is about all they have done.
