    No worries, i figured it out straight away.

    Old dodges, kubota tractors and cushmans. Way too much in common here.. mine is a 51 fargo 1/2 ton L1501 kubota and 2 cushman Lobsters..

    There is a good chance the other reservoir will fit. With any luck. have popped them off before to clean them.

    Its not hoarding, its saving for future projects. Stuff i have been saving forever is now getting used.

    Wonder if the original master being tilted have something to do with clearance. im curious how close my resevoir is now. I never really paid attention.

    Think i cut almost an inch off my push rod. Without adjusting my brake shoes pedal travels1/2 way to floor.

    I always liked the quad headlights. my 80 power wagon would like to have them.

    As far as widening wheel Stance, shouldnt affect anything. in the past the rear was typically narrower,maybe the narrower track width had something to do with cornering. guys widen the width on tractors to improve stability.

    This looks like It would orient carb in any direction. a lot nicer than what i cobbled up.

    When i made my adapter, the hole fits the tube nearly perfect,as well the m/c fit the tube. With tube and m/c set on plate, i used transfer punches and laid out the bolt pattern. As my master cylinder Also has the tube for the push rod i was concerned about it as well.

    I honestly like the countersink idea better. It wont weaken it as much as you would think. you may want to consider socket head cap screws, usually much tougher than grade 8, and require less room than a 9/16” hex. Would be my choice.

    You mentioned the loading being 500 lbs. a fair estimate, but understated. I bet its 3-5 times that amount. I think the average person can leg press near 500 lbs, so even at 1/2 that with the leverage from the pedal multilplying the force its like x10 give or take 5%. Inch lbs vs foot lbs sort of thing. This was rolling around in my head as i was building my adapter.

    Update..used a wire coat hanger to mock up my bends. Modified a 3/16” tee to accept pressure switch. Blocked the fitting for rear line until i get different rear axle in. Not satisfied with pedal travel so far,but shoes need adjusting and i may need to reverse lines coming out of master cylinder.thats all until next weekend. Have to empty shop and bring in some paying jobs..

    Forklift, shop crane,forks on my 3 point hitch on the kubota. I dont lift anything that can hurt me. Plus the hoist in the shop,lifts more than just cars. my brother in law just modified his wood lathe to cut threads on dowels. Very impressive. Retired machinist,measures for cuts with a micrometer, i use an ax...

    Getting there. The truck That is donating rear axle also provided the proportioning valve. Two lines run, a couple more to go. Will block rear line until i get rear axle in. at least i can stop when necessary.

    I put a set of wheels on my 80 power wagon with oversize centres. 15 years or more ago. 35x12.50 tires and ran a plow every winter. Zero issues. i just got 1.5” spacers for the fargo for a couple reasons. To aid the wheel centre fit over dust caps and to compensate for the new style offset 16” wheels.

    Will be a while yet,have a few things to do with frame and front end. Want to get paint on frame and steering And suspension in and done. Then i can plumb in prop valve and fill with whoah juice.

    Thats fine,but all the coolant from the water pump down remains in the block. Not an issue for pulling head or thermostat, but to flush block all the coolant has to come out.

    I find all your pictures and stories fascinating. Amazing collection.just trying to wrap my head around all of them. Here, the few i have all need to be ran on a regular basis,at least a couple times per year. Fuel, stabilizer and batteries all come to mind as being more than a small expense in your case.

    All welded and painted. Installed. no shoehorn required. from a 2001 ,pt cruiser 4 wheel disc brakes. If installed photo is upside down, you still get the idea.would be easier if it was upside down.
  21. Tooljunkie
    Started on adapter. Test fit reveals the need to unbolt steering box. two flanges and a piece of tubing. Once i get it in place will tack weld it. There will be extra tubing, will trim it after i figure out length. Other photo comes up upside down. So i had to delete it.

    I get awesome calendars from a member at forabodiesonly. Seems quite a few people enjoy calendars with their favorite automobiles featured.

    Lots of work behind you. I admire your determination!

    Waay back when, garages and mechanics were few and far between. So cars were built to be reapairable. But still requires parts. farmers are way out in the boonies and only had the materials at hand to fix and get rolling. Same went for the farm machinery. I can only respect what they did to keep things rolling.

    Looks like the pt master cyl will work. Will build an adapter this week.
