Looks like the beginning of another great project Ray. Looking forward to more.:fing32:
46 Bean Cutler-1
The transmission and engine mounting frame are ready to set back down on the floor.
This is a heavy unit but I felt that this was still light enough that it could be moved with my lift cart.
The transmission is tilted back onto the lift table and supported by wood blocks.

then I rolled the stand out of the way and set the transmission down so it is resting one some support blocks.

Most of this week has been spent sanding down a lot of the parts and getting them painted.

Time to start putting this back together.
The main frame is set down onto the pivot shaft on the top of the transmission.

then I supported the rear of the frame with the lift cart and assembled the rear axle arms and wheel hubs.
![]()
The rear wheels were bolted on and the tractor was set down on the rear tires.
![]()
the front of the tractor was jacked up and the front wheels were bolted on.

Here's a view from the rear.

Because this is going to be set up as a mower and not a garden tractor, I'm using a lawn type tire tread instead of the normal tractor lug style.
![]()
The front tires have about 3/8 inch clearance between the tire and the back of the front plate.

It's time to get out the reel mower units and start soaking them down with a degreaser.
They have some real heavy grease on them so I want to be able to let them soak for a few days before I wash them off.
