thanks youtube

a view from the front 

fresh tracks installed this pic was taken after taking it for a short spin 

the nod on the ground all the wheels mounted 

the "new" conveyor belt 

One track apart and a pile of pieces I have to reuse 

Taking the grousers off the tracks 

The old tracks 

here is a little more detail on the bogey assembly 

Here's the nodwell up on "blocks" with the tracks removed 

A closeup facing towards myself. I found a cap and removed it, then I stuck the camera in where my head wouldnt fit and took a pic of what is inside. looks like an adjustment of some kind. It looked like an oil cap. no sign of oil tho. 

One of the "slave cylinders. these are actuated by the levers in the cab. 

here is a picture of the "rear end" of the nodwell I'm not entirely sure what goes on in there but its some kind of steering clutch brake setup. 

oops i broke it 

and the other side 

this is what the track looked like before i tried the skid steer feature. 

heh the spedometer goes up to 100 mph! but only has .9 miles on it... i have a sneaking suspicion it dont work. 

the serial number 

the info plate 

oops the front tire is flat 

the winch (pto driven) 

a closer pic 

Here is a pic of my blue chevy blazer in front of the nodwell (it needed a boost among other things) for more info on the blazer look here Blazer

The nodwell

I got the nodwell today!
Its a model fn60 with a ford straight 6 engine. we actually got it running (it sat for 12 years) the hydraulic clutch works, i'm slowly figuring out the gearshift pattern (its like a 4 speed chevy but upside down) i got it to move forward 3 feet and back 3 feet (under its own power) cleaned up the points and replaced the coil. I didn't have my camera with me today but I will tomorrow.
