WHX?? 48,823 #3151 Posted October 5, 2019 Nice D mac, proud to call you a fellow member and glad to see you are keeping these gems alive! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #3152 Posted October 5, 2019 Thank you but Im not sure its alive yet. Getting that gear selector fork in was giving me some trouble.There is a little check ball that sits on top of a spring that clicks into the groves of the fork. Well having never done this before it took me awhile to figure out how to get the fork in with the check ball. Doing so I may have done a little damage to the spring. I thought it would be ok so I assembled it anyways.The only gears in the transmission are High, Low, and Neutral. The reverse is operated by the belts. Push the pedal half way down to go forward. Push it all the way down for reverse. Somewhere in between is the brake. Safety wasnt a big thing back in 1965 I guess. Seems these little rear engine riders keep finding me or maybe I am the only one who wants them. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent observation of an obvious design oversight on my part...no beverage holder...! I will address that situation in an appropriate fashion soon...! Gotta see what’s in the garage that can act in that noble and vital capacity! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I swapped the field coils across the case, and I may, or may not, have switched the field coil internal connections from the brush under the F terminal to the brush under the A terminal. They are 100% on the A terminal side's brush now, I'm just not sure of where I put them yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #3169 Posted October 5, 2019 The day has finally come!!!! GhostRider is getting electric lift for plow duty. We will finally see how tough the Warner brand electric lift units really are. Can they handle the stress of the Punisher? The boys worked with me for a couple of hours to make the change... before... Zach removing the floor boards. @squonk check out the sweatshirts the boys are wearing! Thought of you while posting...)” Judge getting rid of the arm strong lift! not finished yet but coming together. Full write up later in the GhostRider thread for those that care to check it out. 2 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
