Looks to me like the batteries are turned "front to front" so the connection is Parallel with the cables crossing.

Thanks for the compliments!!!!! Sure got a lot of time wraped up in the girl. was hopin to break her out at Casey tomorrow but got word they rained out. 
The rear wheels were 9 hole, I bought them with the 8 hole centers welded in them.
Lots of compression?.... Nah those batteries are just for weight.  LOL
Not sure yet Matt if we'll make beckmeyer or not. I know there are supposed to be some others goin on that weekend so we'll see.

Yea Matt come on down to USAP John will let you play. The Indiana Coops will be there.
D17 I noticed your in Clay City do you know of anymore pulls south of you this year? It doesnt look like SE IL has much for pulling this year.
