It was influenced by Jimdear2's electric tractor pulling antics. So it is Jim's fault! ;)
The tractor is now mechanically complete and just waiting for me to build a wooden body shell. It is just within my build time.
It is running with a Land Rover Defender TD5 throttle pedal/pot that has been modified to 5k-0. It has fiddle brakes working through compound levers to achieve an 8:1 leverage on the disc brakes. It uses Land Rover S3 clutch master cylinders to run Vauxhall Tigra front calipers on Land Rover Discovery discs.
It now lives inside the house where I can continue to work on finshing touches, dash instruments and body.
Following from the transaxle being destroyed by the 7" clubcar motor the tractor now has a Wheelhorse 3F1R transaxle and a 9" motor. I have adapted the front hubs and brake discs from a Land Rover Discovery to fit the Wheelhorse hubs and now have Land Rover pattern wheels with both 4x4 truck tyres and Agri tyres to choose from. |
