Army, I'm either going to use the pedistal mounted lever setup from a 140 (arm possibly shortened) or may go crazy and do foot pedals.
Intent is to make it easier for my kids to drive than the gear drive.
Want to make sure that when you release the lever/foot pedal it automatically goes back to neutral.
Roger, 111,112,116 hydro, 165,175,185 deere.
White hydro reservoir is off another pump I had laying around, the JD one is narrow/taller.
Its going to be interesting to get the fan to work, going to have to take that whole section of the frame out and rework it. It will run without the fan for now, just wont do any heavy pulling.
Going to have to rework the pulleys to it to get the right speed as the gear drive setup had a bunch of reduction in it.
Axle shafts are a bit longer, so depending on how I add spacers I can have the stock tire width, or gain an inch on either side (probably why you needed to cut down those rims you used on your 70 roger.
I may go with the wider stance as these tractors are tall and narrow and pretty unstable.
