Ford model-T tractor converson

[jdcrawler]

Was able to get a little more work done on the tractor before the rain came in and the temperature started dropping.
The dash is mounted in place along with the fuel gauge and the choke rod.




The wiring is run out to the engine and also down to the ballast resister and voltage reducer that are mounted under the gas tank.




The starter solenoid, starter switch and battery are mounted in place and wired up.
The left footplate and chain guard are mounted in place.




The right footplate and chain guard are mounted along with the guards at the back of the transmission.




Air filter and exhaust are mounted.
The spark advance and throttle cables are in place and the fuel line is run down to the carb.

The tractor is finished and ready for this summer tractor shows.










My neighbor and his son stopped by and I took a shot with the kid up on the tractor.

The drum brake on the back of the transmission is interesting. It has two brake shoes on it with bonded linings. One shoe is on the outside and the other is on the inside and it grips the drum between them when the brake is applied.
