Transmission, engine, hydraulic pump, and radiator.
This post rounds out the drivetrain.
As far as sub assemblies, there were no issues with building.
As far as installing these components, there are some issues.
The front transmission mount doesn't work as provided. The frame mounting pillars are not high enough. I had to install about 2 mm worth of spacers.
There are no locating marks on the frame for the engine, radiator or hydraulic pump. I had to make educated guesses as to location. The radiator shroud doesn't give proper clearance to the fan and belts. I think that the fan belt pulleys should have thinner flanges. This would improve clearance issues.
I'm not going back in to fix this and think I got everything crammed in to allow proper cab fitment (the next assembly to tackle).
