Not much today as my $150 tractor has had my full attention last 5 days. Back to this build. Wiring harness has been secured to all mounts along chassis. Clutch installed and working. IH 2405PL. 3cyl diesel 3pt and pto works, hydraulic seem weak, might be clogged pump. Forward and revers without issue just can't turn or brake.
Bed still has a bunch of things that need cutting off to fit properly but this is how it looks. Still waiting on parts to arrive to construct a steering linkage.
Small Update: Engine cooling system mostly installed. Still need to make a custom fan shroud for it. Steering should be finished this week along with fuel system routing. Tank securement still needs to be completed. Rear cab mount bracket needs to be weld and bolted in.
I like the project but I'm going to be critical. There's nothing about that cab mount that's good. The welds are questionable at best. You should never weld to the frame there. That angle brace should lap on the horizontal brace to create a better welding area and for more support. Looks dangerous.

yea I gotta agree with 427 here, the frames are not really designed to be welded on, in addition what kind of welder are you using? Is that flux core wire?
