    D950 powered service rig

    The right angle drive was not my first choice. Compressor only needs 10 hp so even spinning the generator it should handle the load ok. I'm mounting everything on the frame rails under the floor, 1 to keep it outside, 2 too conserve space inside. Space is 30x30"x 16', long and narrow. Still...

    That's one thing I wasn't thinking about, gear box changing rotation. The box I bought is 1;1 CW to CW. I'm pushing to get everything mocked up in the next few weeks. Engine will be mounted on 3/8 steel plate, grade 8 bolts, 2 1/2" box tubing crossmembers to replace the dozen rotten ones that...

I found a 1:1 right angle gearbox rated for 30 hp that I can run off the front spline of the crankshaft. Looking at different pulley and differential setups for...

    Thanks Shaun! I just spent the last 30 minutes rambling through a reply only to have the server kick me out! Thinking out loud, I have a 32"w X 32"H X 16' space to work with. I think I need to find a trans, clutch and bell housing. Original thought was to find a transfer case out of a jeep or...

    Greetings y'all, Nice to find this little piece of the internet dedicated to one tough little tractor! I'm looking for a little or allot of advice on a project that I'm working on, a '99 IH school bus that I'm converting to a rolling shop. Why? It was cheap, $2500 on a mechanics lien, low...
