My Ride-on Tracked dumper

[Iplayfarmer]

Slight problem, my Hydraulic pump is clockwise and the motor is counterclockwize. Will have to mount the pump upside down, under the engine tray. This will solve the issue of the belts being exposed to branches etc.

Double check your problem. If your pump runs clockwise when looking at the shaft and your engine runs counterclockwise when looking at the shaft, they are running the same direction when they are mated up.

Problem is they don't mate because the pump is designed for belt drive. Not a big problem, just a design change.

Some progress being made but still looks like a pile of steel. I beefed up the wheel hubs, completed the dump bed (4ft x 4 ft), attached the front blade cylinder.

Got the motor and pump positions set. Bed finished, cab started. Got at least another month to go.

I'm pretty cheap so what ever colour in on sale. I am more worried about the weather, need 50F to paint and winters coming. So far Tremclad Gloss Black is what I have.
