Beginning Of The New Underframe

I didn't have to cut off too much to start over. A few pump brackets and the linkage.

Got some 2"x6"x3/16" tubing for the main rails. Started cutting the pockets for the bogie wheels.



The main motor mount started as a 6"x6"x2" block of steel. Welded it to the main rail.



Final thickness needed to be around 1.45"


The motor has two pilot diameters. Started by using a large annular cutter to start the hole.


Then lots of boring.


Finish hole.


Holes drilled and tapped.


Fit real nice.
