Camper cover building construction thread

Yikes! That doesn't make much sense, unless you're building a greenhouse. I must have missed it - what are you covering the main part of the building with? That reminded me of when, 2 years ago, I replaced 2 translucent corrugated roof panels that are a sort of skylight in our front porch - I think it cost me almost $300 for 2 panels like 3' x 12'. Had to bite a bullet on that one. (Oh, and the black silicone coating I used on the main steel roof was over $400 per 5 gallon bucket. ) - Today

Have you tried to cross reference the hose over to the New Holland version of the 5xi? I believe it would have been labeled a New Holland GT23D. Sometimes you can get lucky and find that they still have a few dusty boxes of parts floating around their warehouses. EDIT: Nevermind, I just went down that rabbit hole for you and you won't find anything. Looks like that Daihatsu assembly was used on quite a few pieces of equipment, but I also keep striking out trying to find an exact replacement. In the past, I have also had good luck with NAPA when I needed something weird. The hangup being that you really need to take the part in with you to compare. I imagine that you could find something that could work. Places like Summit racing sell generic radiator hoses by the foot, just need to know your inlet and outlet diameters. Best of luck. I hope you can find something.

With the help of a lot of people from this forum, we were able to get the Onan fixed with a new (and correct) flywheel key, and a new ignition trigger module. Over the last few days I put the bucket loader (Thompson TC10) back on. A little bit of new plumbing, a new hose and fluid and I’m back in business!! I also discovered that the Hydraulic pump is from a Cessna airplane. I started the ballast box build as well. Pics attached.

…. I have a RJ with a solid seat and have no reason to believe that it’s not original. $2500 is ridiculous even for Florida imo especially missing the original gas tank , belt guard , muffler pipe heat shield and looks to be a replacement blue kohler k91 .

C-145 Auto electrical problems
pfrederi replied to Kid with a wheelhorse's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
If by that you mean it showed open or infinity all the time then you need to clean your points again they aren't closing. When they are open you have infinity .no continuity, closed should show a very small ohm rating . One other thing run a temp ground jumper from a clean spot on the engine block to the battery neg. There is a small ground cable under your engine on those isolation mount tractors that can fail and the engine is not grounded. Jumper bypasses that potential issue. -

All of the motorized ridge vents on our greenhouses were hinged with the opening facing west. When tropical storms or hurricanes were coming from the East (which most did) we would open them about a quarter of the way to equalize air pressures inside and out. Never had to replace any of the fiberglass in the seven + years I worked there. The Florida sun was much harder on coverings than yours in Maine will be. -
I buy from Brian regularly.

Funny that the manual search brought you back to photos of your own mower. Have you had it running since freeing it up, or just turning over so far? Curious whether the chain drive survived sitting in the weeds too.
-
Excellent point generally--pay attention to what the part wants to do! I suppose creating a brace of some sort to hold the hose in the wanted shape might help, but likely would add other complications. 😢
-
I for one try to avoid them unless there is no other choice. They are manufactured straight abd tend to stay that way, resisting taking a permanent bent shape. That puts pressure sideways on the radiator fitting.... I purchased a small 1970's Chevy that the PO had used one of those as the upper hose. It stressed the brass neck on the radiator and cracked it where it was soldered to the tank. Took it to the local (now long gone) Radiator repair shop where for $40 he unsoldered the tank, rodded the radiator, reinforced the neck joint with a disc of brass , resoldered it all back & pressure tested it. No more issues.
-
Likely the hose’s dimensions are metric--a bit of extra challenge for you. 🙃
-
Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying
-
Would prefer to change my 181 to recoil start to not have to keep battery.
-
There are some generic radiator hoses that have accordion like fold on the outside to bend them to custom shapes. Could you use one of them.
-
My ‘68 Lawn Ranger had electric and recoil but I’m not sure if it was “factory"

Welcome! Do you have an Automotive Jobber near you that has mostly Commercial Accounts - garages , fleet truck service, etc? Like NAPA. Ask if they can do a matchup to your hose in question. Years ago, I needed a specific hose for an engine swap in an old car - the ID on one end was different than the other. The sales person told me that it looked like what I needed was a section of an early Monte Carlo upper hose - that hose was about 2-1/2 feet long with molded bends. Sure enough, the perfect fit that I needed was just a portion of it. Try to ask a more senior person there, not the youngster (though the kid may surprize you). My . Or check with some of the Forum Vendors - and place an ad in the Classified Wanted section with the above info...

I have. Definitely a possibility. I really like the light weight. ... The issue there is puncture resistance.
