cutting aluminum storm windows
Handy Don replied to Beap52's topic in non tractor related discussion
Absolutely agree, especially when being used on thin stock. Pro installers tend to use a compound miter or chop saw as it lets them hold the stock firmly while making the cut. Is your goal to make them narrower and shorter and reduce the glass area as well? Every storm window I’ve encountered was assembled with cast aluminum corner pieces crimped into a tubular extruded frame. These are not easily disassembled without damage. I get not wanting to caulk, for sure. If this were me, I’d seriously consider: - router the inner edges of the outer wood trim boards to the size of the outer edge of the aluminum window frame. This creates a recessed mounting surface and removes the splintered current mountings. Use a router bit with a guide bearing set properly. (Some manual chiseling to “square” the corners would still be needed) - then, because the “ledge” is still too narrow, add a ledger strip (use weatherproof glue and nails) to create a more secure (and now weather resistant attachment) - lastly, maybe, add a bit of aluminum flashing to re-direct rain coming down from the upper trim piece out away from the aluminum frame. -
It needs to stick out some,because the hole is not blind so it has to be pulled out, but it should not hit the gear cover IIRC. I had issues with mine only working in one direction that drove me nuts for a while, and that was the problem.

A Chinaman goes to see the eye doctor... After the exam the doctor said, "I know why you're having trouble." The Chinaman says, "why?" Doctor said, "you have a cataract." Chinaman says, "no, I have a Rincoln Continental."

as long as you keep the plow share greased you’re fine! -
Quite true.

Today I brought Mrs. 953 home from the hospital. Both of us got the flue shots but the flue my wife came down with didn't seem to be the one the shot covered. It was an intestinal virus that hit her like a ton of bricks. She had been visiting a friend at the hospital several times so my guess is that is where she got it. The first symptom was her throwing up right after lunch, I told her if she didn't like my cooking she could just tell me!

# 26 is for the 10 and 12 HP, # 30 is for the 14 and 16 HP. You can bolt the wrong one on the same flange but it will never run properly.

You must be living right! -
A quick question about the pump, I’ve seen the same thing on a couple other pics of pumps on here, but is it normal for the roll pin to be poking out that far? When I turned the control valve, it was hitting in the long threaded shaft and gear cover.
-
To me that looks like someone flipped the hood ornament around and set the aftermarket light through the large end of the ornament. Neat look!

Those carbs run from 10 to 16 HP. The smaller ones are 8 HP or less. He's probably right... But I've never seen a consistent performing company. Check your own carb at the top. If the throttle shaft is not too loose in the bore, you'll be OK.

Evening, I was looking at tractor data website and saw this light. Was it Wheelhorse factory for certian models.. Special factory hood hinged ornament for attachment?

I'd be interested to know what years was what...

I would use the 7-1/4" blade and just take your time because they are less expensive. Rim speed of 7-1/4" blade is about 28% slower than 10". -

Will guess the shaft diameter is 7/8". Got a Princess Auto nearby? They have sheaves that bolt to a tapered hub sized to the shaft. They often are made to use both 1/2" and 5/8" wide belts so the effective diameter is different. The sheaves use an industrial way of measurement so best to measure where the correct belt rides in the groove and match up the diameter. The sheaves are secured to the hub with bolts and the same bolts are removed from their holes and entered into others to push the sheave back off .https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/single-groove-solid-cast-iron-sheaves/PA1000001359 https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/split-tapered-bushings/PA1000001199 They also have a series of stamped steel pulleys that require they be welded to a hub sized to the shaft. https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/weld-on-pulleys/PA1000001341 https://www.princessauto.com/en/product/x-series-weld-on-hubs/PA1000001386 -
It should bolt right up, governor linkage & all.

I'll check in the morning... I'm not sure. Educate me. Are they the same for a 75-76 8 hp Kohler?

Should I paint this one or leave it as is? Regal Red or just mechanical silver as is... Don't have Brinly yellow so can't buy anything to keep true to the "free" or "in stock / junk" rules...
