Todays Project - What did you do today?

Looking good Steve. Expecting an early winter? You really shouldn't be doing something like that before your freezing your fingers.

Nice CA and nice work on the driveshaft. I'd love to have a wide front end like that on my WD45 as it can get a little "tense" when I have my front loader on it.

Actually I'm about 10 months late due to my little mishap in the woods last Sept.
Thanks for the comments guys.

Willie, nah, it's a u-joint I bought at Princess Auto which is a guy place for us Canajuns who like to putter mechanicaly. They also furnished some of the sprockets and pillow blocks- great prices.

Ron, do you visit the "Unofficial Allis Chalmers forum"?
http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/forum...-equipment

You might be able to find a wide front for your WD45 there.
Here's a pic of the loader I built for my "B"

I just realized I posted an older pic of the front blower that only shows the plough lift that came with the tractor when I got it 10 or 12 years ago.
Here's the front mounted blower.

   

I think the wires to the chute turner I cobbled out of a little 12 VDC winch are long enough, we'll see.

I wasn't even aware of that forum - not that I have time to devote to yet another forum. (six seems to be my limit). I will start doing a bit of lurking over there though. Thanks much.

Great shot of the "B" btw.

I know what you mean

[DaveH]

Hi,
Normally I can't remember what "I did today" - easy answer I'll write down what "I did today"

Now if I can just find the bit of paper I wrote it down on ...............
