    Yep, but they continued to use the clutch rated for 36 hp. My new '64 burned the clutch every 10K mile , replaced three times under warranty. The dealer told me after it was out of warranty (36,000miles) they could install the larger clutch used in the busses. On my dime of course. In the winter it was not quite as warm as the cab on my 520H.. Even though it was under the dealer maintenance, the king pins locked up due to lack of lubrication and the battery died due to lack of water. I sold it at 32,000 and made two promises to myself. Never buy an import and never finance a vehicle again.

    Where did you find this info. I saw it once. I thought I saved it but guess not.

    ’64 had 50hp. 63 MPH on the flat on a calm day. One year my clutch plate had worn out but I had to get from school in NYC to home (near Rochester NY). At 45mph it started slipping so I drafted tractor trailers most of the way--my tailgating musta really ticked off the truckers but the extra 25 mph saved me hours. Ah, the folly of youth.
  10. Been a little bit but I finally have a small victory for an update. Finally got in all the pieces to put together another PTO. Went from the original 6” to the 6-3/4” PTO. It was the only one I could find and worked out since I’m adding the PTO brake and needed the larger diameter anyway. Plus this one was very nicely referbed. Pressed in new bearings and a new seal and installed. Now I’m just waiting on the rest of the pieces for the spring assembly for the end of the crank to help with disengagement. And the PTO brake bracket. Once that’s all finished, I’m moving on to replace the front axle and pivot pin. After that, finally paint.

    When I was assigned to Germany I was on an inspection team and we used rented VW vans. Every so often we would get lucky with a water cooled one. Believe me an aircooled Van in the winter is a cold ride. Driving on the no speed limit autobahn it was foot to the floor the whole time and hope you didn't get rear ended by some flying Porsche

    Back in the mid 80s I used to tow my dune buggy ( made from a chopped Beetle) to the woods with a Beetle. If the buggy died or broke the car took it's turn. They were rugged cars and fun to drive. We would also find them, probably stolen, out there in the middle of nowhere and we would scavenge all the parts we could off them for the dune buggies or to build another one. We also took one of the chopped off roofs, taped towels to the cut off supports for protection, waxed it up real good and had a bunch of guys ride it down the big hill in the snow like a sled. We were FLYING and out of control! It was a one and done ride as we couldn't get it back to the top.

    Did it come with the factory shoehorn to get a big guy like you in there?

    old tool

    An excellent guess is in the 1940's. I found the large one on the road side and carved the wood to fit. The other 2 were my Grandfather's. I don't think they are worth a lot of money, but they are made well and they look like they are worth a ton. These are worth a ton to me !!

    Side shot Saturday... AND SUNDAY !

    My dedicated snow horses are Sunstrands. I check the adjustment in the fall and it is fine...however at 15-20 degrees they want to creep. To cold to set up and adjust outside at 15 degrees. Get her outside put the plow up against something fixed and let it warm up while I go back inside....

    Bought my 1972 Super Beetle while in the Navy. Wife and I drove that car for 11 years. I got the Formula "V" shifter in it, it was like the Hurst shifter, plus a factory trailer hitch. Payed $2500 for it new, I loved that car.

    yeah yep, I had a 63 Ford falcon, a 1991 ranger 4x4, a 1964 f2 2wd, 1951 F1. A few dirt bikes a few tractors and a 1972 Beetle. Paternal grandfather collected them and old Datsuns. Wish I had ANY 1 of those cars! Beetle was an absolute beast in the snow

    Rather well actually. Used a NAPA part, so no Ford recall.....

    Not quite. Low Idle should be between 1000 and 1100 RPM to assure good splash oiling. The high RPM limit is 3600, I usually set it to be about 3550 or so. The tuning key is to get good throttle response off idle, then tune the transition to the high circuit to be smooth by adjusting the high mix needle... IF you have an implement like a snowblower that gives the engine a heavy load, be sure your governor is working properly so that RPM increases as the load does...

    And they still run with Ford parts on them ????
