JDcrawlers Messageboard

any members of this board going?

i haven't been there in years and hope to make it next weekend!

john

dip it in boiling water?

john

i like the grin on your helpers face!

john

nice looking find!

that would be a good canidate for a mower.

john

brockway, some do and some don't. i have a '55 fl panhead with a linkert M-74b on it that i had a good friend go through. we had the bushings and other parts in our collective stashes. my other bike is a 42 wla that i found a surplus army carb rebuild kit for. that one came with everything, bushings...

if that doesn't work try a supplier of old harley parts.

most linkert carbs from '36 to 1965 use similar bushings.

let me know what the shaft size is and i can see what is available...

john

hey allen,

stupid question, if you raised the blade all the way would the adjuster be easier to get at?

nice looking machine ya got there. i'm another noobie from other side of dane county!

john

sounds like your cut out relay in the regulator did not open when you shut it down last time.

is it connected properly?

john

doing well with the brook trout here!

john

jd,

you are probably correct. i should get the right tool for the job and keep the buttons.

for now i have the rollers greased and that is better than nothing at all!

john

i didn't throw them away. i could put them back on if i needed to work in a pile of rocks.

unlikely at my place since most of it is bottom land.

it would be nice if i could find a set of adaptors as some of my pre 36 harley stuff uses the small ones.

john

yes!

and for less than 2 bucks each i fugure they are consumable.

john

i thought about getting a button grease head for my grease gun.

i just went to napa and got regular zerks and installed them instead.

the threads are regular 1/8 npt.

less than 20 bucks problem solved...

john

ben,

that explains it! i thought i had read everything here but missed that thread.

thanks!

john

i recieved a reprinted manual. interestingly, there is no mention of the clutch setting gage?? so, i am getting ready to pull the left side and see what i got. i see in the book it mentions using a couple of drift pins to guide the housing off. would a pair of extra long bolts temporarily installed ...
