Valiant Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 You're right though Nickrock That's how these were done too. This radiator is the closest to fitting I could come up with, it's a bit too tall which is why it's recessed into the chassis. I can't get a driveshaft underneath it. I enquired about shortening the radiator but it's not a good idea according to the guys at the radiator shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 it would be good to have it out the front like that for cooling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 it would be good to have it out the front like that for access to the pipe fittings when a hose blows or it starts leaking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Valiant Posted October 9, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2015 Good news everybody! My pump was field reversible, it was dead easy to do too. It was a matter of swapping the driving gear's location with that of the driven one and putting the front cover back on in the opposite direction. While it was in bits I was able to ditch the flow limiting valve off the back, drill and tap the housing and make it like a conventional pump. I didn't take any photos though. Here's some shit I did take photos of. Some nice shaped hoses for the radiator. A new fuel tank mount. And best of all a MDF Hydraulic pump mount. That I converted into 6mm steel and stuck on the front of my motor. And a tensioner. Looks like it might work, I'm not sure a micro V belt will be able to transfer enough force to make it work. Time will tell. Next to do is to re fit the carb and exhaust. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valiant Posted November 1, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2015 Still plugging away at this, redoing stuff I'd already done. Exhaust and intake, redone. Hooked up the PCV valve, breather etc. Clutch cable redone. Broken bolts drilled out of the blade, all cleaned up and back together. Even got the steel work for the blade bolted to the chassis, and put the guards back on. I've measured up for a hydraulic tank so it can be started this week. Sorry about the poor photos. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Love this thing Pete, nice work! Pity its not diesel for masses of black smoke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks Stu. Yeah it would have been nice especially with a turbo. Beggars can't be choosers though, fingers crossed the A15 will be up to the task. I'll run it with the choke on so you can imagine it's a diesel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 You could rig up some kind of oil feed for the exhaust manifold if you want smoke? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickrock Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 My concern is that that small petrol engine wont have enough torque to push much the hydraulics will suck a bit of power as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
