Overview
Intro to Power Cube Construction Script [[1]]
Preparation
Subassembly Fabrication
The purpose of this section is to cut the raw steel into required lengths and shapes as required for final assembly. These step includes drilling and cutting steel up to 3/8” in thickness.
- Engine & Hydraulic Pump mounts
- Quick attach mounts
- Fuel tank
- Oil Cooler Mount
- Key Switches and Choke
- Electrical cables
- Battery Mount
- Mufflers
- Hydraulic reservoir
Assembly
Power Cube assembly requires all the parts listed in the Bill Of Materials to be available and prepared as detailed in the “Fabrication” section (above). Assembly requires a welder (electric or torch) capable of welding metal 3/8” thick.
A Power Cube Jig can be very useful during the welding stage:
- Frame
- Gas tank
- Hydraulic tank
- Engine and Hydraulic Motor Mount
- Battery mount
- Quick Attach Plates
- Oil cooler and fan mounts
- Keyswtich and Choke Brackets
- Solenoid Mounting Bolts
- Finish and Painting
- Install Hydraulic Components
- Install Solenoid
- Install Mufflers
- Wiring
- Keyswitch and Choke Installation
- Choke installation
Wiring
- The keyswitch has spade connectors for wiring and bolts to the frame for stability. These should be connected with matching crimp-on connectors.
- Connect the remaining wires, as in the diagram below:
- Note that the thicker lines represent the heavier wires that will carry high electrical current.
Keyswitch and Choke Installation
- Install the keyswitches in the brackets and wire as in the wiring illustration below.
- If your engine has a manual choke control, secure the choke control in its bracket.
Choke installation
- NOTE: Only necessary if your engine has a manual choke adjustment!
- Secure the engine choke knob as shown in the illustration below
Throttle Adjustment
- The engine throttle is adjusted with a push-pull cable as shown in the image below.
Final touches
- Install engine and secure with bolts, nuts and washers
- Connect wiring to key switch and solenoid
- Connect fuel line
- Connect coupling to engine shaft
- Install hydraulic pump on coupling and secure with nuts & washers
- Install fan and hydraulic oil cooler

Update Request from Tom
We're still not done with the Power Cube documentation - it still needs some updates:
- Once the next power cube is complete, take photo of the current model and replace old photos / images on these pages: Power_Cube, Power_Cube/Manufacturing_Instructions
- Painting: Procedures, BOM entries, tools
