Made it 300' without an issue.

Need to adjust the clutch, and move a lot of weight around.

This week we need to tidy up a few things that were cobbled at the last minute, add the secondary hitch, and hopefully build a weight bracket for the rear.

we got it to the pull at about 7:30, the pull started at 6. It was just an exhibition run at the end of the pull we did though.

Just before mounting the explosion sheilds and sheet metal. By the time we were done, there wasnt much real estate left under the hood, got kinda tight in some spots.

Got it together for another hook again tonite.

Had it split last night, went to put it back together this afternoon and it didnt go together right, split it back apart at 5pm and removed the clutch completely to start over with the realignment process The input shaft had some burs on it that wouldnt allow it to go into the support bearing, polished it all up and slapped it back together in time to make another exhibition run. The clutch was out of adjustment by .025-.030, adjusting it helped as you can see in the video. Also added another half turn on the pump for some more fuel. The reason he let off in the end was due to a load bang he heard (the owner was driving tonite), the bang ended up being the wedges loosening up and allowing the hub to spin on the axle.

Heres the video.
