did a rehab of a C175 with the black rims - Today
-
I have a 416-8, engine frozen, for parts. I have a B 80 which was being restored. The engine is good, just needs final connections made. There are {2} decks, both removed, one is rusted & one is bigger & in good shape.

I looked at 3 brands in November 2022 . Polaris , Kawasaki & Can Am. I decided on the 2023 Can Am Defender HD 7 DPS which is a single cylinder power steering 650 cc engine. Mainly the Can Am was a 3 seater because of the room in the cab and use it as a two seater with a flip up center console. Very comfortable and yes the $ 1500.00 option for the power steering is worth it to me. Added a soft cab, poly roof, 2 small side mirrors, rear view mirror, a locking cross bed tool box and a few other small items. Decided while I was at it a 72'' poly power angle plow with quick hitch type set up. All accessories are Can Am . The oil filter on the single cylinder is EASY to get at, the twin cylinder one's are not plus I don't need that kind of power, speed and more fuel consumption . This is used around the acreage and see's very little usage off the property. It is registered and insured. Hauling firewood with it is the cat's meow, very little time wasted making trips back and forth from felling to the splitting area and stacking. The dump body is great. Fuel usage is awesome. Can't say enough about it. The Polaris was very nice but the interior room to me was tight and slightly claustrophobic.Also the Polaris was more $$$$.Then comes the Kawasaki . The models I looked at were too tight in the cab as well. On the high end ones too much $$$$. VERY satisfied with the Can Am purchase. To boot the Can Am uses straight regular fuel , not sure on the others. Forgot to mention the 4500 lb Warn winch and front guard / bumper. One of the best piece of equipment I have ever purchased. Make's life a heck of a lot more comfortable and fun while doing chores. Good Luck if you decide.

Depends on the look you want. -
If you really want to haul stuff get a M-274 mule That tank of water weighs about 2000 lbs.

B vIf you’re not an inside track member but know someone who is, just give them their phone number at checkout. Get to know the store manager too because he makes the decision for that store . The manager at the store I frequent has gave me the previous sales price on items that were no longer on sale . They also price the open box items that were returned or robbed pieces from. You could get a big discount on a set of wrenches or sockets and then you can buy the missing items from the replacement parts section on their website https://www.harborfreight.com/parts .

Interesting, haven’t ever seen one
-
Have a picture of what kind I should look for?
-
Is that a "10 mm" socket set I see there ?? That would be going home with me.
-
Thanks, it looks like it has some carbon still on top, were you circled. That also puts the .020 mark on the cam side. Thanks again for the info, good to know.
-
Is it possible to replace the oil seal without removing the bearing plate. I have seen a method of removing the old seal with a self tapping screw threaded into a small drill hole and then it just being pulled out. I assume fitting the new seal would then just be a push fit ?? Any guidance would eb greatfully received.

That used a ball and clamshell connection. cut that off and make your own for the Horse.

What kind of hitch pin to connect the sulky to the tractor hitch? This kind?

Would black paint look wierd on the rims -
Another way to tell. Quite often there is some "erosion " on the piston edge closest to the exhaust valve. Your 2nd pic has it.

Just like Wheel Horse red, any red will do as long as you like it. The same goes for wheels. As long as it's not bright white, any off white will work. -
Hi Redsquare friends, I'm in the market for a new side by side UTV, a 2-3 seater with dump box. Been looking at the Polaris Ranger, the Can-Am Renegade and Honda Pioneer. Power: I'm in the 570-1000 cc range. No fancy bells & whistles; I don't need HVAC or a stereo and I'm not planning to push snow with it. It'll be carrying or hauling firewood, yard waste, bee hives, chainsaws, 5 gallon buckets of coal and maybe a deer. Power steering would be nice since I won't be the only one driving this. Curious to hear some honest feedback on experiences with powertrain or electrical gremlins on these side by sides. Thank you all.

@squonk took a couple pictures. I'm going to pick pic 2 for the thrust side. What do you think?
-
so its a 48, ok, thank you. we just replaced the toro with new john deere, im to old to try repair and just needed something a little smaller. the tranny just abruptly stopped while i was mowing recently, no noise before, just stopped. i checked the oil and for external signs and all was good. when its jacked up the wheels will free spin easily. i will revise my ad and add the carriage pic this morning. by the way my name is roger i used my wifes existing account. at this point id just like to see this all gone, im lowering the price to $475 and might consider some parting out. thanks everyone for the good feedback.

Look at the piston skirts. If you see more wear on one of them, it will be the "thrust side"

@Railboy FYI Type the screen name who you want to answer your response as I did to get your attention. It works . -
I am sorry guys. I didn't explain the compression reading. With an engine with ACR like these have. When you first do the test, you just spin the engine over with the starter about 5 or 6 revolutions. That should give 40 to 60 psi. If you spin it over several times, it will kick out the compression relief and the psi should go up to between 90 and a 120 psi or so. So I basically meant that I had good compression. I had to order my new points and condenser because "Apparently" no one local has them in stock. One place, I won't mention names. But, no auto parts available, parts "kid" asked. "What are those"? Never mind ..............

Hi all, I need some help. Changing the connect rod I took the piston off the rod before I marked its orientation. The piston has only a .020 . My question is should the. .020 be on the cam side or the starter generator side. New rod, used piston, new rings.the rod Oil hole on cam side. I ended up going through the engine. The cam broke, have a nother post about that. Anyway have some pics of my progress, and I know you guys like pictures. Any help would be appreciated on the piston.

They are the "Warrior" brand. I'm taking them to work and figure after I burn all 3 up on one hole I'll leave them on the work bench and one of the guys will steal them. Then they will get mad when they won't even drill plastic!
