Here is the next progress picture of the DeereCubGator project. You can see I narrowed up the Cub dash and reinstalled all the guages and switches in the new smaller area. It is all mounted to the newly fabricated center console I made today . It is actually all fitting together very nice. aaagatordash.jpg

Looking like fall in Northern Michigan today in our backyard.
I got the new design done for the shifting linkage on the Gator. Also got the new design done for the re routed brakes . I got the new low profile gas tank mounted . Now I am doing a new design for the exhaust system moving the muffler to the rear of the machine and rounting the pipes along the left side of the frame. Then I will make wheel adaptors , then design the hydraulic dump cylinder system, then build a roll cage , then raise the front of the Gator 6 inches for more ground clearance . This has been a great project. aaafall.jpg

Today I fired up the cubdeergator for the first time. I also got the hydraulic lines all connected including the new one for the dump box. Tomorrow I will finish the brackets for the dump box cylinder. Also I will get going on the rear wheel adaptors. It has been a fun project. aaagatorbox1.jpg

aaafrontlift.jpgFront lift kit , Today I removed the front suspension and tweaked the front swing arms, built new shock mounts and tweaked the tie rods. Now the front sits much nicer along with the rear lift I did a couple weeks ago. My next project is a roof for the Gator next week.

aaagatorroof1.jpgTodays progress picture shows some of the first roll bars cut and tack welded together . Also I set the roof on for the first time after trimming 10 inches off the rear of it to get a more sporty effect. Also I tilted the roof down in front for a better look . Once it is all done I will paint all the roll bars and the roof black. Nothing fancy but another fun challenge. Hoping to share the finished video this weekend.
