You should take your picture of you and that magazine on the other side of the world and send it to them 👍🏻 -
I think that’s a pretty darn good idea! That stuff has a little cushion to it that will help hold it in place and absorb some of the vibration. I/we are going to want to know how well it works!

My '70s c-series battery boxes never hold batteries well and I've had it on my list to go by a truck repair place for some mud flaps to rip down for filler strips. Wood blocks just annoy me for some reason. I saw a comment recently by @ebinmaine that got me to thinking. I think it was about felt pads so I went to the garage and knew I had these expansion joints for concrete. I'm going to rip some down and think they'll work well. Anyone else have a good solution?

I've got damaged threads on the rear axle of EJ the 8N. Probably the best repair is a new axle and hub - however, that is the least convient repair. Steiner lists a 'Wheel Clamp Lock Nut' as a repair item for this issue. It is a 2 piece nut where one half is castleated and the other half looks like it threads over the castleated section on a tapered thread to clamp it in place. I would run a thread file over the damaged threads before installing the clamp lock nut. Has anybody here used such a thing? If so, how did it work. The job ahead of EJ is box blade and grader blade work in Ky. red clay type soil laced with roots and rocks. Later, there will be many, many, many yards of 4- crushed rock and 3/4" gravel to spread.

Learning to drive before power steering on a very heavy vehicle, an early lesson was to be rolling before trying to turn! I still have that habit and I cringe (silently, of course) when my spouse cranks the wheel while standing still!

Curious what you're using for a tach. I've had this one a little while and it's okay but I'm not in love with it. -
That thing on his chest looks like an Onan flyball spacer.

Have a safe trip Mike! When do you come back? -
You'll need to pull that out and clean around it good. You don't want any metal shavings from the crankshaft around there or stuck to the magnet that's in it. The large notch by the number 166 fits over the tail of the key, and that holds it in time. It's definitely out of time. That's why it wouldn't start. Trigger ring looks okay otherwise.

I have a couple that wasn't 2 bad but a couple that were junk so 50/50 chance for me to get a good one. I will take an original if given the chance though. Hate to hear the Kohler kits are no longer available.

Not 100% sure though.

Picked up a parts tractor for my 3000. Unfortunately the transmission on it is going out, but this guy has a good... uh... everything, except the engine. Mine's about the opposite unfortunately.

Looking forward to seeing if it runs!! Please post some pictures of the trigger ring. Would like to see if it looks damaged at all.
