Coming up with ideas on how to make the mount ..






That should hang tight ..

 

[Jesse S]

Just about done with the install ..
Got the plumbing yet to do ..
Had to order some fittings ..

Soon, on to mounting the horns ..

Back in the day IH offered a right side aux fuel tank .. It was a special order option .. Mirror image of the left side 16 ga tank which I have and restored ..
Also have a 30 ga bed tank that is switched using a GM saddle tank valve switch ..

With having 46 gallons onboard not much need for the factory optional aux tank, mostly wanted it so the NOS optional fuel level switch would work on three gas tanks ..

Been on the hunt for years with not having any luck finding the aux tank..
Could build or buy a tank ...
But wouldn't be the same as a og IH tank ..

I was just being a smart ass about the beer keg. I wouldn't want to coordinate into this build either.

No biggie ...



I'm going to run a wire to the ghost right side aux fuel tank sending unit just in case one turns up in the future ..
Can always move the horns to another location ..

On the trans cooler ..
Did some fine tuning on the mount today, got it ready for paint .. (Powder coat)
Fittings will be here Monday ...
That chore is just about over with ..
Should work pretty good ..

That damn thing is a beast.

The Fellow must had built it to pack all his 'FAT' friends down to Burger World !



Without a doubt that critter will pack the meat and then some !!

Both the motor oil and trans fluid coolers are mounted on and should help add many more miles of run time ..

Wasn't going to used the bottom mounts on the oil cooler, but since they are there what the hay !

It should run a little cooler with that set up.
