Very cool project there! I keep telling myself to work on something like that instead of my usual junk. But since we are talking about farm trucks etc heres a hammermill i picked up. I have no way to drive the thing as its designed to be powered by a belt running off a vintage pto pulley tractor.

That's cool Dave. I love the old motors and drive systems from farms. Used to power the washing machine, grinders/milling machines and all kinds of other equip with a single motor/drive system. Those old Hit and Miss motors were made to last forever!

Here's my second attempt. Both methods are clunky but the backhoe at least can jack its own tire up off the ground so I may keep going down that road :think: :think:

You guys may remember the last update from page 57.
Well Jacob is home from college so we got back to work on his Coyote swap…..
His exhaust from the old 4.6 is fitting with only a few mods and adapters…

Still has the stock 8.8 which is plenty strong for street use. We have some 3.73 gears that we haven’t installed yet.

The weak link is the T45 transmission. It’s not rated for the horsepower or shifting at 7500 rpm. Jacob starts working next week and a TKX set up is on his list.
