"More work on the 1998 International project"

So we have gotten almost to the end of the 1998 International project. Since my last update we have managed to cut off about half of the rear part of the frame, fabricate legs with casters allowing us to roll it around.

We had our instructor order us two 8" heavy duty casters with brakes that would fit our 4" square tube legs. They did, after that it was just a matter of drilling 2 holes in the frame rail (thanks Jeff) we were able to bolt the legs on too the frame. It definitely rolls but not with out some pushing.





One of the other things I was able to do was to eliminate lots of loose sensor and other computer wiring off
 the engine3 and tidy up the wiring we need. While doing this I was able to attach ends that would allow us to probe different parts of the computer allowing us to see what is going on inside if need be.

After getting rid of the extra wiring I was able to find a good mounting spot for the pedal on the frame rail where the cab used to be mounted. I then began the task of finding and fabricating a panel to mount the key switch. After find an old piece of aluminum and drilling a couple of holes I was able to bolt it right on the side of the engine.

There is still more to be done but a lot less than there was a couple of weeks ago.
