Why not a proper PTO rubber boot? Should be able to find one

 

[seapotato]

You can get away with 2 pieces of rubber overlapping a bit doing a duck face thing.

Kinda what the real boots are anyways, just with a fancy trim piece.

Ya your transmission tunnel is way different. Way more ergonomic. Mine is kinda boxy. Plus the floor located ebrake handle.

Had to extend the rod between the lever and Pto.

Looking up

 

[cruisedeisel]

**** ya China crap.

 

[cruisedeisel]

Not wired in yet but I really like the new gauges and placement.

I was dreading this job. All in all, got her done with a little help from my special wheelchair friend

Haha did they put the needle on the wrong way around

 

[cruisedeisel]

My second amazon issue. god dammit!!

 

[cruisedeisel]

I’m no expert but those centre two cylinders are going to have some serious backpressure!

Haha did they put the needle on the wrong way around

The needle zeros it self every time with the ignition power so I doubt it

 

[cruisedeisel]

Well I guess the 60 series are 6.5” longer in the front end. So I cut, sleeved and plug welded the middle shaft.

Now time to test this bitch out.

 

[cruisedeisel]

And it pulls……. Really slow in 1st gear. I’d say at 1/4 of an electric winch.

Cool man. I've always wanted one of those things.

Probably from watching "gods must be crazy" as a kid

 

[cruisedeisel]

That’s half of it. My indoctrination to cruisers was from a crazy 6’6” dude named Rueben. He had an fj40, sm465, Chevy 400 v8. SOA welded front and rear, electric winch up front and a Pto rear.

Before cool!
