| Rewire is mostly done. I am still waiting on the voltage regulator, then I can mount the gas tank and battery. It will hit and run if you dump a little gas down its throat, so thats a good thing. then on to tightening up the steering and fab up the missing parts for the brakes

| I think it has the peerless 2300 4 speed. I have not got around to that end of it yet. Once I get it running good, I will probably yank the TX and tear it down and give it a good cleaning and fresh oil. | |

| basically, kinda sorta but not really. 1 is a 3 speed with hi/lo and the other is a 4 speed and the 2300 has a cast iron case | |

| Rewire is complete and it starts and runs. Starter/ gen is making some weird noises and it doesnt look like it is charging, so that is gonna get rebuilt next | |

| Is that old S/G a bushing type or does it have bearings? _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss | |

| If it has bushings there will be little caps you can put oil into. Either way I suppose you might have to rebuild it anyway since it's not charging _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss | |
