Hi Everybody,
Its been a busy summer and had not gotten a chance to work on the LMC 1500.
Just started Sunday evening. So far I have the track off right hand side, pulled all hubs, replaced bearings, races and seals. Have all new foam filled tires and rims that will be going on it.
Rerouted exhaust up back of cab on drivers side. Replaced both master cylinders on steering along with new stainless steel slave cylinders from SnoCat Pat. Steering is now awesome.
I am wondering whether to use a solid rubber tire on the front idler or just foam filled. It is the aluminum looking wheel and currently believe it is foam filled, does anyone have a suggestion which way I should go and what would work best? Will a solid rubber tire work on this wheel?
Here's a few of the pics of progress (if that's what you can call it) so far.
Trying to get it mechanically sound this year, the looks will have to wait until next year.
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
