341 in a narrow frame

[gclint]

Thx drysump, this is and the other comments regaring what would/wouldn't work were what I'm looking for. seems sticking with a CC K341/321 is a smart soln. so I'll let the green K341 go to someone else. I have plenty of work to do 'til I get to the engine, rebuild front axle, steering, all the hyrdo linkages, reseal the rerear, have the charge pump checked out........ so i'll keep looking for a CC K341 or K321.

I utilized all the QL electricals incuding the electric PTO.

I also retofitted balance gears with new hardware but still at a slow idle that big K341 rocks in the frame to where flexing can be seen, Point being, the K341 may be hard on narrow frame.

Still was a fun project to put together, and the torque is outstanding.

why not use the electric cluch off of the deere, we've done that at my house due to an overstock of extra uselss parts.
