      I'll double check code today. Also, have three ground rods not one, one for the 12 kW generator.

        Regarding the sub-panel, are you leaving the nuetral and ground unbonded, tying them together only back at the main panel?

        Nope. Neutral and ground are bonded at the sub-panel also, along with a 8' local ground rod. Running 1 gauge aluminum triplex from a 80 amp duplex breaker in the main panel (has yet to be done). Currently running everything on a 12 gauge extension cord.

              Don't know who installed your pump but it's mounted sideways. Either vertical position will work for operation (pump on top or bottom).

              I would recommend the current position for filling with a quality 80w-90 gear oil, until oil runs out of the hole. Invert the pump for draining. Do not completely fill the gear case.

                (Copy & paste)

                That all looks good John, but I question two things.
                1) The eyebolt on the pumps reaction bar: Was that a grade 2 eyebolt or was it a hook. If it was an eyebolt it's ready to let go. (I use a forged eyebolt on mine.)
                2) The hose clamps. The constant torque type that you used have little advantage over the previous worm drive clamps. The T-bolt type clamps have a tremendous advantage. But we'll see what happens tomorrow.

                Happy New Year :thumbsup:

                  I'm thinking you'll need to relocate the arm on the splines so you can rotate the cam far enough to get the pins out of the band, and then remove the lever and shaft and cam in order to slide the brake band out.

                    All of the tapered hubs I've ever seen use keyways. The hubs have threaded holes to be used with “pusher” bolts for dissasembly.

                      I think the new logo is nice, the wheelie doesn't look so lonely and it may act as a lighthouse to other dozer owners.
