A ratchet will work too but using a 6 point socket is the best for some old hardware. The brake band should be located on the left side of the trans and connected with the pedal linkage 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,000 #85 Posted July 14, 2022 The foot pedal is pushed. It will release the belt first (clutch) and then engage the brake band to the brake drum. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #88 Posted July 28, 2022 Hey guys so a while ago I drained the engine oil in the 5hp Briggs and Stratton and I don’t know how much to put back in because it doesn’t have a dip stick 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #89 Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Never mind I figured it out it takes 2/3 quarts of 30w oil. Any suggestions on how to clean the fuel tank Edited July 31, 2022 by The Freightliner Guy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,619 #92 Posted July 31, 2022 What I do when I come across an issue I haven't addressed yet is that I YouTube it. There are alot of helpful videos for just about every problem you are going to come across. I watch a couple videos then go at it. Trial-and-error is the best teacher. Watching a video also helps me to understand the instructions. I learn better by watching it done then someone trying to explain it. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #94 Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Ok it’s been a long while since the last update about Reese the rj so I’ve been thinking of a engine swap . I plan to put a Honda atc70 engine in it but that’d mean I’d have three gears in reverse with the four gears the engine has and I’d have to use reverse as a forwards gear. Is that ok using reverse as a forward gear let me know. Kollin Edited November 15, 2022 by The Freightliner Guy Wrong word 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #95 Posted November 17, 2022 Maybe I missed it but what is exactly wrong with the engine that's on it ? Seems to me it would be so much easier to get that briggs running then to try and engineer that engine swap. See if that briggs has compression and spark. If so order a new carb or carb kit , clean the tank and ride it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #96 Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Um one thing is that you can rewind the cord by turning the engine pulley by hand Edited November 17, 2022 by The Freightliner Guy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
