[QUOTE="vinito, post: 97612, member: 12954"] Here's what $400 of hoses looks like: [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/hoses.jpg.html'][IMG alt=" photo hoses.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/hoses.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Won't have a chance to start until tomorrow, but that's alright. I did get the “new” battery and created yet another wrinkle for myself, but it's pretty minor and won't prevent me from getting this thing running this weekend. The wrinkle is that the original location of the battery is on the floor underneath and behind the seat. It fits there OK and everything but of course if you need to access it, you have to remove the seat. Plus when inevitably washing the floor out, the battery is in the way catching dirt and trapping it. Turns out there's a nice little niche at the back of the machine on top of the hydraulic tank where this battery fits fine. So eventually I'll make a nice little tray for it. Besides now having to make a tray for it, the wrinkle is that I originally routed one or two of these new hoses through the hole the battery will now fill, but I [I]think[/I] I can re-route them just a bit without changing anything else. If not, I'll just set the battery on the floor for now and change it around sometime later. It's always somethin'. But this time I'm plowing forward anyway and it won't be but the smallest pause. [I]This machine will be running by tomorrow night[/I], he!! or high water. Barring disaster, the next post should contain a link to a short video of the machine moving under its own power, or maybe of it doing a backflip or something. Don't know about you folks, but it will be entertaining for me. [/QUOTE]
