first built but not the last

this is my first tactor offroad built it running but not trail ready.

Tell the folks how you made those front hubs.

yea Im made by hand but its a 2'' round stock with 3/4'' hole made on a lathe welded on a 1/4'' plate . I align all the holes on the plate including the center hole and use a 3/4'' bolt to align the plate and the round stock together and finished by weld it square. I made the rear hub on the same way but I had few threaded hole to put locking bolts who are align with the original channel key of the axle shaft.

I will send some more pics soon. I have to disassemble it to do the fine work one it because now I just done the preliminary built the make everything work and fit together so I will take good pics for you guys

some more pic: the carb, gas pedal and rear and front hubs. The bolts who lock the hubs on the rear shaft may looks overkill but I realy whant to avoid the shaft slipping in the hubs . So 4  1/2inch bolts are tight in 4 light knoch on the shaft and 4  1/4 bold are lock in the chanel of the shaft

 

Nice. What kind of lathe do you use? I'm just starting to look into buying one.

hum I use the one at my job so I have to look the brand but ruffly its mid size professional machinist lathe it could handle 6'' round stock on about 4foot long. Im not a pro with machining but I know enough to do what I need, sorry if its not super accurate info

Sounds like about the size that would handle pretty much anything I plan on working with.

pretty much yes we have it in a military shop to provide support to the vehicle maintainer

the first ride with my first built it run like a charm . But still a lot of work to put on it

what have to be fix:
loose in steering system
better fender trim
enlarging front axle and rubbing trim
air filter
carb adjust
tranxle rebuilt
finish batterie rack
add hood lock

mod I want to had:
alternator
light
larger seat (to sit my son with me)
locking rear axle
winch
bumper
rear rack
adding bearing on front hub
adding electric fan
Radio and cup holder

3h of offroading after an hard day of dealing with hard familly stuff

Still in one piece huh? Are those front wheels cragers? I have a set of 4 of those with some rust. Didn't find any use for them yet though.

yeap still in one piece but still some stuff to improve like brake, steering, intake and the accesories.
and yeap hteyr cragar I have the rear one to but I have a problem to fit them due to the shifter position so I try to figure it out
I think I plan enough stuff to do on it to put it in the built contest but I still have a lot to do on my Overkill built
