Yes, this will be the largest I have (and likely will ever) tackle in terms of welding. I have done only a few body panels before this, so every job helps build the knowledge.
While it's accessible, I've painted up the patch on the inside, since floor-boards and frame make it hard to get to once it's in. https://photos.app.goo.gl/C3rXhtDp1VJALPFP7 This is two coats of DOM16, which is a Canadian product (Dominion) that is very similar to POR15, but I have found that it sticks to new metal better. I did scuff the whole panel with a flap-disk before applying it though. Hopefully it holds well.
I also applied some weld-thru primer to the flange edges' mating surfaces on both the tub and the patch. Hopefully this keeps the corrosion at bay in side the flanges where they can't be treated after. https://photos.app.goo.gl/fbZsAfxXuVnxAuts5
Awesome work man! This is one heck of a rebuild, your really steaming forward at full speed.
Good job with all the pictures.
Terra Jets are great machines and worth the work, they are very capable off road. Their low center of gravity, respectable ground clearance and all time locked 4x4 with those 27" Max IV tires makes them incredible hill climbers and trail breakers.
I could have sworn I'd seen pics and discussed with a terra jet owner how they used the same tranny as a Coot, this looks nothing like it. Kind of odd, I must have been mistaken. Since the machines is a simple AWD set up with no skid steer in theory you could always jerry rig a different 2 speed with reverse transmission out of another kind of ATV and link it up with your drive-train.
also, I'm trying to pull the axle out of the spare transmission, but it won't budge and I'm trying to split it to remove. I can get it this far, but then it won't separate any further... any ideas? 20200203_121902.jpg
