| Clutch linkage yay   Normal operation yay  Hmmmm jam the clutch pedal all the way down to the tire and it kinda inverses the clutch action. Kinda cool that that happens but i dont wanna die so it'll get a clutch stop i guess  I stole mutts belt and it kinda works but the belt wont really stop, even if i start her in gear. Makes for fun situations. Guess I'll be getting her an inch or two bigger belt than mutt uses. |

| I was a little worried it wouldnt be strong off, but i realized this isn't a push linkage like on mutt, its a pull linkage, and the levers are both moving up and down, rather than one up and down and the other side to side. |

| Put the new belt on and moved around the one idler. The belt really doesn't like to slip, but i think it all will wear in.
Other stuff ive done: turn pull start so i can reach it from where i sit. Stuff a plastic pipe thread protector in the dash for a upper steering shaft bushing. Put a throttle cable on. Put in a key switch for a kill switch.
I've driven mules that turn tighter than this thing. |

| Little stretching and polishing the pulleys (break-in) and as long as you have some guides. Should work out. Hopefully the belt doesn't get chewed up. _______________________________________________ Li'l RED my original modified tractor!Forum Admin -- Chat Admin-- Facebook Page Admin ATLTF Facebook Page -- How To Upload PicturesHave a question?

| I had to add a couple engine and one trans guide to Kal so the belt would not grab on clutching. Didn't need them to keep it on.  _______________________________________________ Li'l RED my original modified tractor!Forum Admin -- Chat Admin-- Facebook Page Admin ATLTF Facebook Page -- How To Upload PicturesHave a question?

| Made a front belt keeper.   With that, it seems the belt problems are solved. I also cut tubing to space the rear wheels correctly so they arent walking back and forth on there. Next... gas pedal, seat, and maybe some work with the front axle |

| Put the seat from the RS on. Only had to drill 2 holes so that's cool. I also put the shifter thingy in, made a kingpin and put it in, and greased the front end and steering. Probably other things too but i dont remember. (I have the foam part of that seat ill prolly duct tape on, it's not bad now though)  Now... reroute exhaust so i can have the hood on and gas pedal. We'll see how it looks then. |

| I like the belt retainer design. Does the stock exhaust not line up with one of the headlight holes? |
