Just joined.....have questions
Here she is in raw form.......she has been sitting under a shade tree for the past 5 years plus (not run for that long). Used to scoop up small square bales of hay. The ultimate weapon for that use. They were only made for a few years before big round bales made them obsolete. This was commercial made and the guy who designed it was a brilliant self taught engineering type who invented and patented a whole bunch of stuff. Engine he chose to put in it in the early 70's was a 318 Chrysler. Has a 4 speed New Process Gear model 540 tranny. Plate says ratio is 741, which I assume is a low speed rear end?
To get her running, replaced a 75 gallon steel gas tank with 19 gallon fuel cell, had carb kit installed, new starter, new starter switch and new ignition wiring. Plan to make a new wiring harness, install all new gauges, new master brake cylinder, new clutch cylinder (had been converted to a high friction cable system). Farm equipment, so does not need tags. Has nearly straight pipe duel exhaust with glass packs.
My "dirt road" rod!!!
