Dirty pool mister, dirty pool. :biggrin2:

Got the JD's transplant finished today. Successful mission. Cleaned and reassembled the drive shaft and steering shaft. The CH22 is mounted to the motor plate and just about ready to drop into the Cub. So far everything is going as planned. If it's warm tomorrow I hope to get the Cub washed. It still has some crud on the frame under where the motor plate sits that I couldn't get at before.:beerchug:

Is that crud from the driveshaft boot leaking? Mine had that crud too when I took the engine out. And inside the shroud of the engine there was thick greasy crud that I had to clean up. The seals seem fine, I don't think it was engine oil.

This one had a leaking seal on the flywheel end and it oiled the whole tractor. Only good thing is all the bolts come out easy after you find them. :biggrin2:

Pig Pen is all nice and clean. Engine is about ready to drop into the frame. Gotta do a little paint work on the heat shield first. New PTO is on. I'll try and get off my lazy butt and get some pics tomorrow. :beerchug:

Steering column is back in, cut a hole in the dash for a voltmeter and stuck it in the hole. Installed the starter relay that was on the tractor when I bought it. Next on the list is to make a wiring harness then drop the engine in. Here are some pics. :beerchug:

Looking good Sam, should be a grass killing machine.

Looking good. How come the voltmeter? Is it a "cool factor" or was the electrical system problematic? You'd think with all those warning lights in the dash there would be an idiot light.:bigthink:

:beerchug: Looking good Sam. :beerchug:

The Cyclops tractors have a voltage light that rarely works. With a voltmeter you know for sure what is going on. To your question about the condition of the electric system on this tractor, just about every connector was melted from corrosion causing poor contact. I'm redoing the complete system.
