Re: 440 another engine question

If you want to be artsy-craftsy you could put a plug just below to wrinkle and electroplate to build it up. Afterwards, use a Lisle 1500 hone to bring the area back out to match without introducing a conical shape. I think a battery charger, some acid for the solution and some donor material to matc...

Re: New Shirt

It would be similar to patten rights. When taking a media class in college I was taught that college students a re immune to such laws and can copy all they want for educational purposes such as class projects. I was also told that companys can legally copy a pattented item up to 3 times for with in...

Re: use of ether to try and start,

If the voltage at the starter is low you could look over the battery cables, see if there is a hot spot where the voltage drop is occurring.

Re: use of ether to try and start,

I have gotten reluctant to use either on an engine I'm not sure is happy with it being used. I bought a Chinese 3 cylinder tractor that had new injectors and pump installed. I saw a video of it running after installation on the owners phone after he got it running (was rather happy with the resurrec...

Re: New/ rebuild injectors

I bought one of those hand operated pumps with the gage to indicate what pressure the injectors pop off at. Being a lever operated pump, the pressure changes quickly when it happens. Mine cost about $80 on ebay I think. I have used it on my two Chinese tractors. One was a three cylinder with recentl...

1010 gas unit on Birmingham, AL Craigslist

In case someone is interested. From the listing, it runs well but one of the new steering clutches quit working and the primary clutch can be sluggish at disengaging.

Re: Adding a Tachometer

On my old Ford with the Navastar 7.3l IDI the alternator provides pulses that are used to determine the RPM which is common practice in the automotive industry. There is a lead which is tied to only one winding to give a single pulse per revolution and these are used to derive engine RPM. The pulley...

Re: 6 wy blade rebuild

I'm looking forward to see the photo documentation. I hear what your saying about working behind "Ace" mechanics. The right hand cylinder for angling the blade has hammer tracks for a couple inches from the rod end from previous expert craftsmanship. I think they were trying to drive the pin down th...

Re: 6 wy blade rebuild

The only progress has been relocating it a few feet (shuffling stuff on the concrete pad some months ago). There is a sequence of events that must occur first and the list keeps getting longer. Right now the doctors are limiting what I'm allowed to do. Around 6 months ago I got an infection of crypt...
