i just finished machining my flywheel adapter and bellhousing for the TS3 lister. did a dry fit tonite and everything is center. going to poster some pictures if anyone is interested.

i scrounged up a petter ts3 3 cylinder air cooled pushing 34.5hp at 2500. measured everything up and flywheel mods should be straight forward. got to widen the flanges on my skid-plate for the fan housing tho. what do you guys think about 2500rpm? thats 75ft ibs torque too final drives should be abl...

hello lavoy do you have a carb kit in stock 4 my 420?

lavoy , just wanted to check on the price of a complete carburator for a 420? thanks

lavoy , would you happen to have a load needle for the updraft carb on the 2cyl? mine is cracked and looks like it was welded (like everything else on my crawler) i found a carb up here in labrador but the needle was robbed out of it. thanks

ok did you try and penetrating fluid spray around the shaft? must be rusted on

i have a similar problem with my 420 on frosty mornings. i usually pull my steering levers back and forth before i puts her in gear but the brake band lever freezes up sometimes and it'll stick on. but i know it can be a pain in the ass. they usually free up on there own but one time i had to pull t...

need to set the record straight with some friends. i have 420c serial # 110449 and her blade push arms are mounted on the outside of her track frames not inside... and the hoist cylinders stroke out to drop the blade not to lift it. this is not original for this year 420c is it? lavoy can probably t...
