I got my new leaf spring Sat. ( replace the broken one from last weekend) While installing it, notice a long crack in the frame. :shaking:
Got side tracked with fix'in my back fence. The dog was getting out, so I had to get that done before the weekend was up.

The weather was super nice, warm, sunny.

Oh my new headlights showed up too. (amazon) I got the idea from Jerm83

Wheeled a bit, day trip into Spider Lake and walked on the lake (frozen). Pretty quiet out there and a first for wheeling without snow into January for me at least.

I installed knuckles and hi-steer. Got my arms and the rest of the hardware from PartsMike :smokin:, great guys to work with. Ordered an Aussie Locker as well for the front. No wheeling, I was on jackstands all weekend.

Pulled out Bruiser's cage and yanked boggers off. Scout looks like an ugly step child now.

Selling the Tires and Cage. Posting up soon....

Why is that guy taking a dump on your lawn?

Watched North Dakota State win the National Championship on Saturday, and listened to the Falcons lose Sunday. I don't remember much more than that.

Installed a new Holley 2300 carburetor on my 71 Travelall. Bought it from Summit for $308 with shipping. It's not IH specific,but runs great. The old one wouldn't idle,had a sticking choke and sloppy throttle linkage.

That didnt take long. That guy is the welder and sheet fabber for the Tweaky KOH project

zippo Scout related except I bought a new 727 case to replace my last screw up. Since I broke the last case, I bought a Jeep D-300 with a new twin stick, so I might convert the new tranny rebuild into a Jeep D-300 conversion and leave the Scout D-300 in the Traveler so I can get more money out of Jet-fxr when I sell it...

Lots of grinding, a little welding, got one coilover mounted up and the frame is holding up one corner on its very own!

I feel like we're were all in a mortgage together this weekend, with being sold off and all....lol :grinpimp:

Dreamed of parts, engine swaps and tube doors. Nothing came true Guess I'll have to get off my ass and make those happen myself!

Peeled apart the dash wiring and saved the portion that wasn't melted ( turn signal section ). checked it all out and it is still flexible so I will add some more to it for stereo, gauges and rock lights then connect it to the chevy harness and tape it all up again. Other than that just sat around since I am still under strict no driving orders from the doctor:mad3:

I hate it when that happens. I had a belly button hernia surgery on the 20th of Dec and couldn't do much either.

Helped all weekend buiilding the buggy for KOH. Fired it up for the first time with exhaust on it. Heard a knocking from the motor (lq9 out of a rolled escalade) Ended up pulling the motor out and apart. Found #6 piston cracked and the rod bent. Hopefully have the motor back together this week. Should have it all ready for the race. It is confirmed that I will be out it the remote pits with the scout.

That would make a great short shifter! Lol :smokin:

I have been resisting working on the Scout until I got everything in my new "shop" . This was the last load of steel to go in, probably 1k in there I have now squirreled away. At one time I must have had 4K of steel in there, but the tractor could barely drag it around the yard and I have to go down a fairly steep hill to get to the new shop so whats in there in the pic is just tablescraps. Now that the baggage cart is empty Ill need to find something to go in there:laughing:. I picked up a Waggy steering arm last week. Progress should be forthcoming

It is confirmed that I will be out it the remote pits with the scout.

I hoped to make it down there again this year, but looks like a no go. Had a lot of fun last year.

Sounds like you will have some fun for sure. maybe the remote pit will be a back door so you can watch some action too :grinpimp:

 

[JERM83]

Got a couple more parts for my tbi swap. Found a custom harness I want for 220, and I don't really feel like chopping the factory one up so that will be next. Buying a new daily driver so the harness will have to wait a few weeks. Should be ready to put in fuel injection early feb.

Hope you like those lights Craig, I love mine. See you at prairie city on the 15th.

 

[plug ugly]

scout- worked a little on the floors, swapped histeer arms for mock up. Pushed the front end forward another inch

ford/international-did some in-tank fuel line mods (hutch and harpoon). runs much quieter now and should be good for the injectors.
