The K321 in my 953 was a Richmond Red overhaul with no gears anymore. There's quite a bit of vibration at mid throttle but I just wear impact mechanics gloves and it really doesn't bother me.

The GT-14 uses a cylinder like the D series short fat and welded. ...They are welded like early Charger /Electro cyliinders. Wheel horse parts and more will rebuild one for you. it is not a do it yourself job.

Was your Dad the unseen driver in the movie Duel??? Made this clip of a very good model version at the Cabin Fever show this month

I removed my balance gears by driving the shaft into the block, then empty the shaft and drive it back in again from the outside. Not the easiest way but saves removal of any other parts.

Has anyone increased the Steering Wheel Height?
ebinmaine replied to TonyBer's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Either add to the upper steering shaft with a locking collar from McMaster Carr... Or... There are many steering wheels on the market for vehicles that have different (deeper) "dish" depths and diameters. This is a Sweet brand racing wheel. @kpinnc could comment here. -
We gotta do our part. Just got the bill for my five day medical vacation in December. Just South of $50K. Thankful for decent health insurance. Best wishes for a speedy recovery...the Show is just around the corner.

I have a set of 4 link V bar chains that you can have. They were on 23-9.5-12 AG tires. I switched to rubber chains and turf tires because the V bars were too rough on my asphalt drive. I live about an hour north of you in Walled Lake Michigan -
Has anyone increased the Steering Wheel Height?
TonyBer posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Hi, I have (2) 160s and a bad hip. I'd love to have a few more inches in height on the steering wheel distance between it and the seat. Has anyone raised their's and how or created a shaft extension? Or, is there a better steering wheel to swap to that may give more clearance? Thoughts? -
God is good! Glad to see you're doing ok.

As a Senior Citizen it is my obligation to keep the medical employed. After four days in the hospital I am now home and well, God is good. Details to follow.

So made contact with Kevin (Pullstart) he has been fantastic yesterday he found and sent me pictures of the used Lift assembly he got out of his stash (in the freezing Michagan cold) and include his ideas on how to get the old one out by possibly spreading the side tunnel. He will be sending me the part when he gets a minute... THANK YOU in advance Kevin for all you have done to save the "beast". Obviously, I will be replacing he Lift arm when it arrives. One additional item the lift cylinder has a slow leak (been like this for years) and I have just lived with it. While I am in there does the cylinder come out reasonably easy, does it come apart easily (no special tools) and is there a seal replacement kit available for the rebuild? p.s. I can live with the leak if I have too. Thanks guys Rob

Small compressor and an air chisel might knock those heads off pretty quick too. If needed, maybe even grind a slot across them then chisel from each side to snap them off? Use the grinder to keep the chisel sharp too! Just spit balling again -
Seat pivot brackets and bushings ready to install. Seat pivot plate ready for pivot brackets to be installed. Seat pivot bracket with bolt and washers slid on. I add a washer to the inside to space the bracket out slightly so it does not rub on the pivot plate. Seat pivot bracket bushing greased with silicone grease and installed into pivot plate. Right seat pivot bracket and bushing installed. Left seat pivot bracket and bushing installed. Seat pivot bracket bolts torqued to 200 in/lb.

I pulled the gears out of two of my 14 HP motors. They seem to run fine. I opened up a 14 that was on a John Deere 214 and it came factory without them.

Sammy what was the end story with your machine I have a 1970 GTO snowplow beast with the same issue appreciate any how-to data you may have including how you got it out, how to take it apart and what seals you changed and where you got them. Thanks Rob

What have I done to my Wheel Horse today?
peter lena replied to CD Long Jr's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
@CD Long Jr good morning mr long ! you are very obviousely well on your way ! interesting that people talk about extra weight , load , with no thought of enhancing . helping that out ? https://www.google.com/search?q=Heavy+Duty+Anti+Vibration+Pads&mrq=1&mrqri=1&mrqei=0QJ-ab_3FoCB5OMPotzymAg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj_o_2z8LWSAxWAAHkGHSKuHIMQyO0OKAF6BAhAEAY always used an isolation pad , prefer the dense , multi shallow holed types , add that to the pull hitch under trans extension , wedge it in there , make up a holding connection . that will consistently MINIMISE the loading to that TRANS CASTING , this type of pad also cuts easily with a recip saw . probably pick up odd piece at H/D cutting area . happy for you , pete -

This is my plan for most of the day: https://www.autoshowharrisburg.com/ We get free tickets most years, so we go up, get breakfast, and go to the show for a few hours. The kids like that they can get in and touch the cars, I like that they aren't in front of a screen and that we are inside.
-
We will too but wait til it's warm. Like 9 above.
-
A balmy +7 here. I may have to venture out to bring in a trailer load of wood this morning.

12 below zero this morning!! Definitely a good day to be inside working on models.
