ebinmaine 67,623 #10854 Posted April 30, 2021 I got a bag of 20 1.5" round vinyl black caps. They'll be dutifully distributed amongst the herd to protect the wheel hubs and tops of all the axles. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually removed that exhaust after having some performance issues between my two engines... I went back to a long tube header. Sounds better too... Oh, and by the way, surprisingly, while I had the exhaust stack on, it did not really blow into my face too bad actually. Of course, it is really windy here in Indiana, so... somewhere else might be different... Yeah, it is mean... for sure... goes with my... big man -- little tractor complex... I mean, honestly, it does everything I ask it to do... I buried 200 feet of conduit the day before yesterday, put a ripper on the back, then moved the dirt back all with the tractor. This old girl will move hell if I ask her to... I am in the process of trying to get a billet rod for one of my other engines... (constant gear head). I was playing around with timing... ended up breaking my brand new rod that I just put in. Hopefully I will be able to afford the Billet rod soon... especially since I now know the best/furthest I can push timing. I personally shaved a portion of the cam to work with timing... (only problem is... I tried to get too much out of it...). Anyhoo... I'm thinking about going a stroker route... not sure yet at this time... (everything costs $$$$). Based on the fact that I have several engines... I can afford to break things while trying to make them better.

I got them on the fleabay. There were plenty of sizes available. Measure yours up and also check your wheel hub caps on the front. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its actually an electric trailer jack hahaha, I saw the price of the actual linear actuators and they were just too darn expencive, plus they were only good for about 200 pound or a bit less to start. The trailer jack was on sale at Princess auto for 79 bucks canadian plus it can handle 2400 lbs. hehehe, far more then I need. Yuppers for adustment, as you can see I havnt moved the controls up to the seat so I dont have to reach way back. But thats coming. The trailer jack moves a wee bit to slow so Im going to relocate the arm bolts closer to the I think its called the fulcrum??? Ill try to get a few more pics and a short vid showing it in action when I get a chance. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to replace a heat pump in a ceiling of a "Special Needs Unit" (dementia ect). There had to be someone guarding my tools and ladder at all times. Place is locked up 24/7 . Lady in there thought I was her doctor. Another guy thought I was fixing his car. Edited April 30, 2021 by squonk 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
