I know most will not beleive this but I got the 1200 back running yesterday! :Shocked: I've got to get the tins back on then I'll take some pics!

I got the rear axle cover plate to stop leaking oil too! I changed out the gasket and did a quick inspection and every thing looked great inside! Six hours later and no leaks! I didn't get any pics!:Spank: Going back out to the garage to get some more things done and will take the camera with me today.

Mid day update!

I got the IH weight box reinstalled and filled with some steel bars I had laying around. With the weight of the box, steel and chains I added another 217 lbs to the rear. I've got 575 lbs without me in the seat. That should help off set the lifting the kwik-way can do. I hope to keep the rear planted while I'm using hte loader. This model kwik-way is rated for 750 lbs but I've lifted the 1650 with loaded tires and wheel weights. I couldn't move it much before the rear started coming off the ground.:bash2: Time to do a retest and see if I improved keeping the rear planted.:beerchug:

Time to go out and get the 1200 buttoned up so I can list it for sale!

Opps forgot the pics!

I had to cut each steel bar and I hid the cut off scraps under the larger bars.:biggrin2:

I hope so! If not it's only half full and I know where to get some more free steel!
