why did you have to run the exhaust outside the frame? Is your truck equipped with a pto winch?

Where about are you located? It involves a bit of fabrication which is done easiest on the vehicle, but if you're truly interested I can ship the current exhaust as it is. I do run a 1" body lift, and have modified sills. Not quit sure if it will fit a stock 60
Sent my a PM if your interested
I didn't want to go all the way back over the rear axle. Choosing for a side pipe meant I had to get on the other side of the chassis somewhere. Doing it anywhere else then in the inner fender would mean extra corners, and a more vulnerable route as it would stick out lower then it does now. I'll still be able to run approx 35" roughly measured.

That will happen some day.. first an intercooler, followed by a Wink4x4 turbo. But there is no timeframe set yet

Hi guys,
It's been a while, but I'm back with a new project!
The plan is to install a Air Compressor (originally from an 80 series, V-belt driven) on my PTO.
Why? because we can, and I just feld that I needed to give that PTO lever in the cabine a function.
I'll ad a 20Ltr tank with pressure relief valve. I'll probably use the PTO with transfercase in neutral, to fill tires, clean air filter and to get a camp fire going
64CC Compressor:
Air tank from a Belarus Tracktor
Original set-up with the PTO facing front. This way, I have no decent place for the compressor, so I had to get the flange facing backwards.....

Disassembly
It looked like an easy job. But..... when putting it back together it didn't fit.
It turns out that the set-up is slightly asymmetric. That meant that the back of the shaft was sticking out too far... I took it apart many, many times the past few days to get the details correct. Tried many things...
The setup that works:
I took a M27 washer, and machined the inner diameter equal to the original bush (teeth diameter). The washer is about 4mm thick.
I shortened the original bush approx 2mm. I used the ring to bring the gearwheel a bit further towards the middle, and had to shorten the bush since the total length of the set-up between the bearings would otherwise be too long .
Note: The washer in the pic is still with an inner diameter of the bearing. This didn't work, but I didn't take a pic with the final setup...

Next problem:
Opposite to the original set-up, the bush was now pushing against the bearing without the outer circlip. Originally the gearwheel was pushing against the bearing, which has a wider diameter due to the teeth.
As you can see on the picture, the bush was gonna push against the seal of the bearing.
I decided to simulate the teeth from the gearwheel by putting a few tag-welds to the bush. Now the welds push against the inner steel part of the bearing.
There is a slight misalignment, but the expected torque of the air compressor will be very low, so no issues there.
Fitted back, and gave it a trial run. All good so far.
Next up will be installation of the tank on boltable brackets to the inner side of the chassis.
I plan to use an steering shaft from a 60 as drive shaft (part between steering wheel and steering house).
to be continued.

nice fixing, I repair splitrims with a footpump and use a piece of cardboard for the fire: just tired of tech stuff breaking
