Update on WD with cornpicker (pics)

 

Tonight I did go out and take the seal plate off the PTO housing to replace a gasket. I thought while I was out there I might as well put the hood back on, and the side panels along with the mesh screen on the front. I just used tape on the front, I need to locate the metal bands that are used to hold it into place. Also, I am looking for the correct air cleaner cap, the cap with the screen mesh around the bottom of it. I would like an original if possible.

 

Heres the "before" picture...

 

 

And after....

 

 

Notice I did manage to get the blower mounted on this side, I wanted to know if it would have enough clearance for the voltage regulator I put on.

 

 

 

Something interesting, a part of this whole kit to set up your tractor for corn picking, included a "lead sediment bowl". I thought this was kind of cool, I have not put it on yet.

 

 

And last, the shop dog "Pudge" stayed in one spot long enough for a picture. He usually comes around to investigate while I am under the tractor working on something. He is pretty good at dropping his ball into the floor drain! I had to retrieve it tonight for him! Go figure! Me retrieving for him, who is the smart one now? Dog or owner? haha

 

 

 

The fuel filter is Non-breakable.

Corn stalks and ears flying around a breakable fuel filter would not be a good scenario -and all the dry corn in a field, don't want to go there. 

 

Joe, I haven't put the tabs on the side rails for the front snout yet, but getting closer!
