MAKIN' IT SHIFT! BUILDING THE SHIFTER LINKAGE.

[@ManChildMaineiac]

This video was so satisfying to see the pot county legend fabricate all this linkage and have it work flawlessly!! You are a true master of the Fab craft!! 👋

[@jeffjamison8614]

the best backyard engineers can see how things work in their heads. They also figure out what to do with what they have on hand. It's always great to see how you guys problem solve. I've had the pleasure of knowing a couple of gentlemen with 8th grade educations that could fab absolutely anything. One dude made a band saw out of a sewing machine and a couple of bicycle wheels that had better tolerances than a multi-thousand dollar one at an engineering school.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I know a couple fellas like that.

[@dougj.8288]

Awesome problem solving, definitely like the way you pushed it outside the frame rail.

[@rockypergin2216]

You did some good head scratching but clean and tidy 👍

[@michaelwittke8336]

As usual, great ideas & work. I might have added a small, greaseable flange bearing where the transverse rod went through the frame rail, perhaps thread the down rod like a turnbuckle to provide some adjustability

[@ronbelldvm]

That's friggin' ingenious! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work.

[@alanrobison3298]

I am amazed at your fabrication skills and knowledge my friend. Well done!

[@IowaMercMan]

Another step closer to first drive! Good job man.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Getting there slowly but surely.

[@paullemon6542]

Thank you professor Puddin for sharing your wisdom

[@richardcowan-e4y]

You do quality work. Nice job figuring that out.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks!

[@jasoncox3302]

[@JohnSmith-qj4cf]

Just great to be able to look at them again

[@macpherson3182]

I rareley throw anything that might be useful Saved me a lot of time and money on my project.. very satisfying.

[@jdw6769]

Smart dude...I'm really learning alot from you my friend..

[@87jstep]

Enjoyed this one.

[@dac2250]

Another excellent video, great thought and ingenuity!

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks DAC

[@Pedroisanickname]

Problem solved. Well done. So excited to see this IH build.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

She’s getting closer!

[@WWS2]

Building the lever with adjustment is brilliant. I was wondering how you were going to calculate the throw.

[@Voongi]

That was amazing you have great problem solving skills.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thank you!

[@sshyshy6097]

This is amazing puddin!

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thank ya!

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Man it's coming along fast great work I'm downloading all these task in my head. Just hope I don't short circuit.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Don’t short circuit, you may lose it all ! Lol

[@shanewright6958]

That turned out good. Another great video 👍👍👍🇨🇱

[@loganpark7993]

Well done sir and thank you for sharing.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@treasureseekerintheway3515]

Looking great! Keep it up, you are an encouragement for me to keep going and pushing myself and my skills. Love to see you practicing on the TIG too. I am not a tigger bit probably will be some day.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I have to make myself use it! I’d like someone who’s really good with one to spend a day or two with me I could probably get rid of most my frustrations with one with someone who knows better then me.

[@treasureseekerintheway3515]

@@PuddinsFabShop you can probably find some great toutorials on KZbin :)

[@johncorreia9041]

as always puddin man you slayed it!

[@Recycledhooligan]

Pretty innovative idea man

[@michaellemons5143]

Man I wish I had my new shop done would love to build a truck

[@charleskeziah4810]

That's neater than toilet paper. Like your videos keep'em coming,

[@fishguts4247]

Looking good. Nice creeper too. Just don't trip over it and break your other foot.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

That would suck! Lol

[@glenhynes3593]

Your a mad scientist

[@georgem9554]

Another good one

[@xozindustries7451]

Nice, it'll be interesting to see if it locals in every gear, I thought you would have used a cable to get around the dual exhaust, but this will work also

[@PuddinsFabShop]

I’m happy with it. Should leave plenty of room

[@patpatterson6214]

Very smart guy!

[@kwikslvr73]

I'm about to do the same on my shoebox! thanks for a great video

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks for always watching!

[@orellnadeau2293]

Mechanical MacGyver isn’t the word !!! Where do you come up with these ideas ??? Keep up good work LOOKS AMAZING

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Just wing it lol

[@joell439]

👍👍. Another great solution. 👍👍

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks Joel!

[@steveschumacher5470]

nice job on the linkage. As far as the foot goes.... speaking from personal experience, nothing ever seems stupid until about 3 seconds after its too late.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Haha it’s not my first time in one lol

[@HackeryX]

You came along way with the channel now its almost natural to talk to the camera

[@johnfry9010]

Nice job , hope the foot is on the mend .

[@PuddinsFabShop]

It’s doing good👍🏻

[@rdspeedfab]

Will there be any problem when the motor/trans flex’s or rotates? I like the design.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

There’s some play in the coupler and in the shaft where it passes through the frame. I don’t think it will be a issues.

[@rdspeedfab]

Cool. Always enjoy your uploads. Thanks for making good content, brother.

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrGunPilot]

Puddin rocks!!!

[@brianbrown8731]

WOW

[@PuddinsFabShop]

👊🏻

[@donaldlawton7384]

I had problems with my linkage over time coming loose.on my 4wd manual shift think im going to make a hitch pin.

[@donaldlawton7384]

Or use 1/4-24 and thread lock

[@tobybishop4355]

wow

[@PuddinsFabShop]

👍🏻

[@arifmahida8666]

👍

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Do I clip mine or channel the travelall on to the 02 Tahoe make a 3in longer in frame ???

[@PuddinsFabShop]

That’s up to you and your resources? I

[@FactoryFreshChannel]

Nice work

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Thank you!

[@xtheunknown8727]

Nice job figuring this thing out. Does the rod going thru the frame pass thru a tube/sleeve?

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Yes it does

[@riverflyswatter]

Nice

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

You are the International Whisperer... or the Mechanical MacGyver !!

[@PuddinsFabShop]

The wing it king lol

[@Alfie289KCode]

Heim joints rule

[@PuddinsFabShop]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@timbecker8618]

That boot tho

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Not my first time In one lol.

[@stomper2582]

👍👉🇺🇸👈

[@zombiekustoms1]

why didnt you try a lokar column cable shift linkage

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Because I have $4 into this and I like building stuff lol

[@adamsj01]

Here in 2022

[@jayinmi3706]

What size heim joints were those?

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Threads were 1/4-28 and for a 1/4” bolt

[@RoseBud-fk4qg]

What happened to the leg 🦵

[@carolerodeghiero8157]

What happened to your foot

[@PuddinsFabShop]

Fractured it doing a jump challenge with my girls lol

[@juansarabia7530]

Making my own 3 speed 'on the tree' linkage. I am reproducing the original links, less skills and engineering is nescessary.

[@peterhatch1583]

👍

[@petero2693]

Nice
