Didn't realize you still had the stock table in there, this should help. We are planning on doing Lost Trails around Thanksgiving, since we cancelled due to no riders but me and Mike, if you want to do some testing.

"looks like your new mount design ought to do the trick. johnboy va."
If it does fail, hopefully it will be easier to fix.

Keep me in the loop.
Putting the old tires back on for that ride.

all it takes is a muddy few days at busco to reveal any weak spots in our machines .. especially modified ones. i have found a few over the last few runs at busco on my max 2 highboy sub frame design . this last gathering i had no design breakdowns and the machine performed the best till i lost a track in that slick mud. looks like your new mount design ought to do the trick. johnboy va.

That looks like it's going to be a nice engine platform.

Thanks Drew.
Even with the thicker tabs and legs, it's still lighter than the original, and much stiffer.

Time to build a newer stronger engine mount with thicker material and removable legs to make easier repairs.

I'll also make some new motor mounts that allow more access to the trans.
More pics to come.

Kubota power did not disappoint at Busco, until it did.
Too much torque for the original engine base plate.

Do you think this is a little premature? It is getting cooler.
Actually was plowing dirt and rocks today. Lots of power.

Wow, really nice machine, Love those tires, I can't wait to see that machine in action, it only takes a few modifications to make a MAXIV the boss. here you go:

Yep, under the radiator blowing the hot air up. can't see it. I mounted it within the original radiator shroud, which I moved from the engine side to the outside.
