Moose's Diesel Massey

Those hi-lo trannys were used in a bunch of tractors. Should be able to find one cheap in mower junk yard. Mine's closed on sundays, but I'll get you directions.

cool cool Ill look into it!

Ok guys so I got a few parts on the way I got a fatboy exhaust from T-dub \o.o/ gonna sound epic and look good chrome on red on grey! I got a couple snowhog tires for the front while out with stretch and TRB they are the perfect size lol And I got a craftsman 6 speed hi/low on the way! I have craftsman rims in the barn attached to a old hi/low tranny we broke (is my parts tranny now) I am thinking some 25x12x12 tires for the rear so itll look pretty nifty well see :p As soon as I get the time and the temperture gets up above 30+ I will start working! Hopefully I can keep off the overtime till april or something but I always have sundays off so that will make life easier!

Looking forward to seeing that exhaust sounds interesting

Id like to run it off the side and run it down like a harley just have it going under the footboards I think the chrome will look good against the grey and red

This will be sweet when it all comes together!

Oh yeah! Exhaust and tranny came today so this weekend I'll try working on the massey or the diesel either way I'll post a video on YouTube so it'll go here or on a new thread for the diesel

new tranny had some clearance issues switched the shifter around still has issues :p



The new front tires!

I forgot to get pics of the mufflers and stuff from tdub will get that in the video this weekend hopefully but I will be spending a lot of time in the hording warehouse to get stuff done this weekend and get a good video going!

Teasers for the diesel videos:

Nothing to see here move along :v dont mind the tarp...

ordered a gas pedal today just like the clutch pedal just Ill have to cut it off and flip it so it lines up with the other side and looks the same its the little details that just make me feel better about this build lol

Alright guys in preparation for the video update tomorrow I got a ***** ton done today bought bolts and lugnuts for the hubs got some more diesel for the diesel lol got gear oil for the tranny and a few other odds and ends



Before I bored the hubs



Bored them to 7/16ths perfect fit for some 7/16ths grade 5 bolts I stuffed in there going to weld them to the hub so I dont have to worry about them coming loose



Lotsa wd40 and hammering= broken screwdriver and back pain!



Wheels before the lugnut conversion



Sexy after conversion shot :p



I mocked it up and daaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm even with turfs that is on fine looking rear end



side shots!





The pipes Tdub sent me



Gear oil for the tranny not sure I got the right stuff



Disk brake off the old tranny may try to use it on the new one since it has a drum...

So anyway guys hope you enjoy the mockup because I know I did worth every bit of work I put into her!

if ya weld them studs, just put a small tack on it... too much heat will ruin the temper on the grade 5 or grade 8 bolts

Well I ordered a pulley for the engine today this thing is starting to turn into a puller build pretty quick when I started off just wanting to make a trail rider it still will but itll just look cool lol.
I ordered a 10.25" cast iron pulley from grainger it weighs 6# and will give ma a tad over a 1:1 ratio itll be like 1:1.13~ so she wont stall out to easy but also wont be that quick on the throttle.

I also got my other footpedal in the mail! woo! so I will have matching clutch and gas pedals which will be awesome and I figured out a way to do the brake so it works like a oshi brake and doesnt mess with my clutch!

That's a nice build right there! I like it a lot. Keep us posted on the updates.   

oh yeah she is chuggin along I need to get a welder though was trying to get the neighbor to let me use his but all of a sudden he doesnt want to lol so gonna get a cheap ass stick just to get it operational and beefed up!

Save up for a gas MIG. You'll thank yourself later... Flux core wire is awful! Stick is great for the frame and thicker metal because it gets awesome penetration, but a gas mig is the way to fly when working on these machines. Much more versatile.   

Maybe... Ill see if I can find a used one!

If you ever settle on a direction ya wanna go, you'll get there quicker... I aint decided if yer STAGGERING one direction to the next, or just getting distracted by all the OOO...SHINEY!



Just kidding bub... I think it's progressing well, and ya oughtta have a bulletproof ride by the time yer done

BTW, the injectors and fuel delivery system on that 4cyl diesel onan are made by Bosh

lol true and wrong thread but noted! Hadnt got that far in the manual yet

yeah, I couldn't find yer other thread

it was in the onan forum...
