Mine are a little r...

Jimmy, Not too shabby of a 420 there. It looks pretty nice compared to my old abused MC. http://mymcproject.shutterfly.com/action/pictures?a=67b0de21b330f690a435 I will update my pics soon now that I've got her running good. I am going to try making new fenders just to see how it goes. I still have ...

Digitup,

I see what you mean.I looked at your pics and they would look good if they had the side to square them off. I may just fix up the old ones. I will price the materials and make a decision from there.

Thanks,millertym2.

Thanks Lavoy,I will give you a shout this week.

Thanks again,millertym2.

Charles, I am about 2 hours north east of oneonta.Im by the eastern tip or oneida lake. I put on a alt. from a 91 ford ranger I had in my garage. It was a very close fit. I just made up 2 brackets that are 3" long with a hole at each end to mount from the block to the alt. The curved adjustment rod ...

Has anybody ever made new fenders for a MC? I was thinking of making new fenders out of diamond plate but didnt know how they would look. I still have the originals but they are a little dinged up. Also I put a 12 volt alternator on but rigged up a bracket for the alt. But its not perfect so the bel...

Lavoy do you have any steering lever handles(#m884T) for a MC?New or used doesnt matter.And how much,if you have them?

Thanks,millertym2.

Put millertym2 down for a MC.

Hi stan, I have never really looked at the fouled champion plugs. When they foul they become hedge parts. Hedge parts are when they mess up you take them out and throw them in the hedge row in behind the house. I think a JD M would be better for a garden rather than a allis. But just my two cents. T...

I have talked to plenty of people and about 98% of them say that champions foul out all the time. I have even put hotter champions in and they still foul out. The only thing we can figure is its the core material that champion uses is not conductive or maybe has higher resistance.(the higher the res...

Here's my update-- I took one of my original spark plugs out(R44S AC)and took it in to work.Lavoy was right it is a C45L AC.So I got 2 new plugs and I had to work till 7 tonight. Naturally I had to come home and try it out. I had to make a trail back to my back lot anyways. So I ran the old girl for...

With my wife when I say Im going over to my garage she rolls her eyes and then I the silent treatment for a while.But she gets over it pretty quick. Cant always please em. I took out my MC and "stretched her legs" alittle and it began to run rough like 1 cylinder is skipping. It does need a tune up....

Well it took me 2 winters but I have my MC back together and both steering clutch's working perfectly,the blade lift arm straight- tracks lined up and all works good!! Long story short I inherited a 52 MC when my dad died.And it was a mess. The steering clutch's froze and crumbling apart,the track c...

Lavoy do you have any of the black handles that screw on the levers? We kind of had a casualty when taking off the lever. Thanks,millertym.

We named him Carl after his grandpa and me. I really tried for Logan but she wouldnt go for it. Now on to business. I pulled the final drive off again(which takes a total of 30 minutes). And adjusted the hiem joint -that someone had messed with before- and removed the steering lever and all that att...
