Fuel steps

The first time I filled the super 88 since I got it running, ran it over because I couldn’t see how full it was getting. Went through the scrap pile and came up with enough steel to make these. Too cold to paint them right now.

Looks good. You do what you gotta do.

Looks good, but are you planning to weld a rod or plate across the ends of the flat irons on the back of the step pads? I personally would, I am cringing feeling the grating your leg would take if you ever miss-stepped and slid you leg along those ends.

Yes, I need to get more angle iron unless I use heavy 2x2 1/2 that I have on hand

Chris does that Power Booster work? Do you know who put it on that tractor?

 

[JohnRowehl]

I should try and find a way to mount something like that on my Fleetline. Looks like the main brace on yours lines up with the cultivator pipe hole, which I think I would have to begin working from.

Is that shift handle on the left hooked up to the starter rod? What is the other rod to the right of it seen in the third photo?

No power booster, I used the lever to engage the foot starter

Yes, shift handle is for the foot starter. Small rod on right is hydraulic lever

For my clarification; there is one hydraulic lever, painted green, that is positioned on top of the pump and another kind of lever that looks like a starter kick rod, unpainted, between your homemade one and the one coming out of the top of the pump? And that is also a hydraulic lever?

Good. I would get a pants cuff caught on those edges sooner or later and it is an expensive ride to the hospital after a fall to the ground.

Looks good otherwise!

Its what ever works sometimes

You have good eyes! That one is for the belt pulley that won't turn, doubt that I'll fix it or ever want to use it. Don't have a pulley for it, I read once that if they don't get turned over regularly the bearings would sieze.
