nice B-12 :fing32:

 

Very Nice :fing32:

Looks like it several great addons. Did you make the wheel weights ?

 

Wheel weights are no name iron Bolens. They made them with the Bolens name cast in, then with FMC cast in, and finally with no name.

Wow, very nice!

 

Some good lolkin steal on that one! Nice!

 

Here are a few more pics highlighting the not so obvious modifications, the wiring.

The two wires coming through the grill are for an electric clutch that will be able to be added after I put the 16 hp. motor in. I just added this wiring last night.

All functions are controlled by relays through the key switch so if the key is off and you forget to turn off a switch it won't kill the battery. Also the key switch is a reproduction Lucas like what was used in the Shelby Cobra, dad had one laying around from a previous customer's project.

Thanks, Nate

 

One more

Very nice looking machine.

 

I like it.

 

My baby got an upgrade today

My B-12 got an upgrade today...

Thanks to Mike AKA Burntime for the hydro-lift and spare tiller PTO. It was a pleasure to meet you.

I should also thank Tom for the tiller and PTO that is on the tractor now and some other stuff, and Chris for the correct Allis snow thrower, IDK if they read on here or not but if they do it was also a pleasure meeting both of you.

Thanks, Nate

 

After playing in the dirt for a while today, I decided to get here ready for winter. So off came the tiller and on went the snow thrower.

Then I mounted an old tool box I found on the seat rest to hold my hitch pins and other miscellaneous stuff. I also put the chains on.

Then just for $#!?'s and giggle's I decided to mount up the tattered and worn out Original Cab Company cab.

She looks ready for "Snowmageddon"!!!!! :snowing:

Lookin good Nate!

 

Looks like you're having a ball! Nicely done. I like your wiring setup. I need to learn the art of 12V electrical, and quickly. I have a rats nest of a project waiting for me on a golf cart I repowered in a rush.

 

Sean, I thought the same thing, then I got a BLT! Bob, is the wiring guru for me. Lol.

 

It's as simple as keeping the positive, positive and negative, negative and never the twain shall meet. And fuse all positive line extensions.

 

The brown delivery truck delivered a pulley guard today!

Finally was able to pick up some Cubby Cadet wheel weights for the B-12. Now I've got 75lbs per wheel. I'm also hoping to find a stinger and doughnut for a little extra weight.

My little eye spots a mustang in one of the pics.
Your B12 looks like its ready for work. Need to find a way to heat the cab lol

Looks like you are all set. Very nice work on getting her together.

 

Got stinger and doughnut weights from Josh, TalntedMrGreen on the board; yesterday. I got a chance to install them last night. If you put the lift in float you can push the rear weight down and easily lift the blower.

I've also got a set of generic wheel weights for the front wheels I'm going to install later today.

Then I found an old power window motor on a shelf, so I'm going to build an electric spout control. I have one more available circuit in my wiring harness.

I'll basically copy the factory option for the later model snow throwers.

Nate

 

Dont you love it, when a plan comes together.

 

Very nice! I'm diggin the inner weights...been tempted to try just that.

The counterweight option works really well on these tractors. It's prefectly suited for running a blower, especially if you have a gravel drive, or blow over turf (I do in a few spots). It really floats lightly, and avoids biting into the surface. Takes the load off your hydrolift too, and makes a manual lift feather lite.

The Cub weights fit nice but I needed 5/16" spacers because I didn't want to clearance the weights.

Built an electric spout rotator out of stuff I had laying around the shop.

The motor is controlled by a switch/relay box mounted next to the engagement rod. I made the box a little bigger than necessary for expansion later.

I used it a little bit this afternoon and so far it works great. It has the perfect speed, not to fast or to slow.

Nate

 

Nice work!

 

My photo hosting site (Fotki) has moved their servers to a new location, they are in the process of bringing them back online right now. That is why my pictures are being sporadic, some show up some don't. They should be back soon.

Very nice Nate!
