    Crankshaft Counterweight Wear

    Believe it or not that's probably original to the Kohler factory. I have a 16 horse that looks just like that. I posted a picture of it here. I showed those pictures to my own small engine guy that rebuilds quite a lot of engines. Nobody had a problem with it.

    Crankshaft Counterweight Wear

    My grandson Mason is starting a refresh of his Raider 12 engine. It is a K301. After removing the pan he discovered this on the bottom of the counterweights. The wear looks to me like someone's feeble attempt at balancing. Any other ideas?

    I will be looking for the oil dampener cap for the top of one of the SU carburetters, it is stripped out. I’d love to chat with your friends, after all if they are friends of yours, they must be good people!

    1965 Triumph Spitfire

    Some years back a friend bought a TR6 and insisted I take it for a spin. It was pretty darned cramped and uncomfortable for this 6’2” guy. At the end, I needed help to get out of it.

    @Pullstart Kevin if you need any information or assistance with that car I have my very close friends Tony and Carol in West Virginia that are experts on it. They collect them, fix them and show them.

    My inner @WHX?? did kick in at some point. My wife says that I must not have had enough to drink at the time because apparently price has never stopped me before! I did bid on both of those, but was really interested in the reel mower. Yeah. who ws that guy. He bid me up on most of the items on the last day. I was 5044.

    Oops!

    Any time Kevin starts off a new posting with "Oops!", I figure OK, now what way did he hurt himself??! I find that nothing fits like genuine OE pads. And, yes, you still need to clean up the bracket & the caliper pins. (and use the proper sliding grease...). I will use a quality name brand OE replacement disc, maybe top shelf pads if I cannot get the OE...

    Diagnosis rectifier failure

    I decided to customize the dash and have both a “old” analog ammeter and a “new” digital marine voltmeter. This voltmeter seems to average its readings over a couple of seconds so it is a steady readout (I did make sure it was accurate using a calibrator at the auto shop).
  17. I did much the same as @ri702bill, the Black iron "T" is 1" X 1/2" X 1" and then I drilled and tapped for a 1/4-20 bolt.

    What did you do today?

    Same is true for boats with water plumbing and closed-loop cooled engines! A couple of weeks ago I helped a friend make sure their new-to-them 32’ sailboat was ready. Tanks for fresh water, gray water, and black water, the water heater, head, engine (inner loop had good antifreeze coolant, whew!), bilge and all the various lines. Several hours work and lots of RV antifreeze.

    LED light replacement

    My neighbor is a lighting engineer and he schooled me on both temperature and spectrum after he noticed that I’d equipped my kitchen fluorescents with one each of a warm and daylight tube. He approved!

    I know where I would go.

    I've always been fascinated with Egyptian Civilization, but I would have liked to have seen it at its peak. Not as a participant, but as an observer where you could experience the empire from a distance. I basically like pretty much anything doing with history. We live in great times tho. I wouldn't want to give up our creature comforts, to live as they did. It's truly a blessing to live at this time and in this country.

    2 stage blower

    Find the model number for your blower, then find the manual for your blower so that you know what parts you will need. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/category/28-snow-blowers/ This vendor makes some of the lift parts for blowers. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product-category/snow-blower-plows/
  23. May be, he's in competition with Eric on who can take the longest to complete a project.

    Yeah I kinda forgot about that ... still ... some day I am going to put together a thread about how to put a decent collection together on the down low. True but what does NOS really translate to? Put it on a shelf in the man cave and look at it or stick it in the dirt as intended? No way could I not stick a mid mount blade in the dirt NOS factory fresh or not. Even if I had two ... one to use and one to look at. Just too handy of an attachment not to. To me being NOS means just being able to use it without having to wrench on it first. Reliable and ready to go. Not that I don believe in trailer queens but right after Dan and I put the flame together I was busted using it for tub duty. A tub needed to move from point A to B and it was just sitting there and yes I did scratch the draw bar abit... A few of my restos I swore I was not gonna work it but then I always did. Thank you Richard I see now... ya know I could have used that to rework and re-seed the lawn after being wrecked by the well drillers. NOS, restoed or not! A real handy tool for a landscaper. Yes I know I could have it's purpose but much more enjoyable learning here.
  25. You could slip a couple of RJs under the Allis Chalmers. And while you have access to the racking you could pull down the Dump truck project and finish it over the winter.
