An old timer told me when I was a kid the the only job where you start at the top is when your digging a hole for your self. If that is the case I'm about half way through the earth about now.
This build has been a knuckle buster but the end is so close now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and for once it's not the 7:15 Express out of Topeka. It took some effort to get the front of the chain guard looking right but that's done.
I have to change the welding wire over to .023 so I can weld it together but that will have to wait until tomorrow due to the pending rain. I have to weld outside and Saturday and Sunday will be sunny and in the upper 60's and lower 70's.
Next week I have to make a run up to the metal supply and get what I need to finish off the jack shaft. With any luck I'll have the parts in the machinists hands soon.
