    Looks good Dave. Job well done. By the way... hog rings aren't used in the pig's ear, they are put across the top of a pig's nose to stop it from rootin' around.

    Try a local bearing house. They specialize in all types of bearings, seals, and such. A quick look in my Milwaukee area Yellow Pages nets a couple dozen places. I sure you can find one near you. Merle

    Gotta love those wheel standers. :D Here's a couple of shots of the "Little Red Wagon" on display at the Don Garlits Museum

    I believe there was a previous debate over this. On mine the bottom fitting feeds into the center tube and is the inlet. The outlet is on the outside towards the top of the canister. Aparently others are different. On mine it was stampped next to the fittings "IN' & "OUT". By the way, is that Pabst can around your coil?

    Norm, If you're gonna put together a Kettle Moraine shot you could at least put some color in it. That road looks a lot like Emerald Rd, near Holy Hill in the lower Kettle Moraine area. That's where I took this pic.

    I wasn't sure how to vote. I am 40. I could have voted in the 30-40 catagory, but I was feeling older this morning so I voted in the 40-50 catagory. Merle

    I'd be careful with statements like that, Mr. Belvedere. There have been a few female members posting on this site from time to time, although I haven't heard much from them recently. Ladies, if you're listening... How are you projects coming along? Merle

    Answers are; 1. Yup. SAE 90, 80w-90, or the like. 2. Yup. That's also the level plug. Merle

    Maybe something like, "You're going the wrong way, Dumb @$$" Turn this f#<%ing thing around!!!"

    "Off route"... "Recalculating"... "In 500 feet make a U-turn"... Not too long ago I heard someone refer to her as "Betty the B!tch"

    I have a bracket like Dennis' but mine is bolted on. I have no reason to believe that this isn't an original mount. Merle

    They're not really attached. Just a tractor loader setup and a motorcycle on the same trailer. I saw this a few years ago when I stopped for gas on my way home from a motorcycle rally in Iowa. He had been at the same rally and was out riding and found this loader for sale in front of a farm in the "Middle of Nowhere", IA. Apparently he'd been looking for one for his tractor for some time so he bought it and then went back to the rally to get his trailer to haul it home. Then he also had to load up the bike for the trek home. When I saw it I couldn't help but to take a picture. It looked odd. Merle

    You'd have found it as soon as you went to put the new one away "where you wouldn't lose it". That's where you'd find the old one.
  14. Merle Coggins
    That very well may be. I just thought it looks a lot like the Cushman's that I've seen. Maybe we could load that Guzzi dump with this Suzuki Loadercycle
  15. Merle Coggins
    I know a guy that takes those Cushman's and repowers them with Honda Gold Wing engines. They're pretty sharp.
  16. Merle Coggins
    Ed, You put them over there where they'd be out of the way and you wouldn't loose them.

    My prefered tool for heat shrink tubing. I don't smoke, but I like to keep one around for this purpose. I will also use a small propane torch with the flame on low. Just wave the flame near the tube and it shrinks right down. Merle

    Well, you could set something into the holes in the cross members that will make a mark on the underside of the boards when installed. Then remove them and use the marks to drill the holes. Or, you could set the boards in place, then crawl underneath with a pencil and mark the hole locations through the bolt holes in the cross members. Then remove the boards and drill the holes. Then, before you reassemble everything again, be sure to seal the wood, including inside the holes. Merle

    If you're at 6 BTDC now, and you're shootin' for 4 ATDC from your manual's spec, you need to retard the timing, not advance it. Anyway, your manual's spec probably isn't relevent to your engine now. You stated that you have a performance manifold and head, so you may need to use the advice from the other guys and adjust by feel until it runs good without any detonation under load. Merle

    Now you've got it. I can't determine from the photo which direction we are looking at the pully, but if we are looking at the pully from the right side of the vehicle, than your lower mark would be 4 deg ATDC. If viewing from the left side, it's 4 deg ATDC. Depends on the direction of rotation. When rotating the engine in the normal direction of rotation, does the 4 deg mark get to the pointer before or after the "0" mark?

    Well, after saving your picture and opening it up with another program so I could zoom in on it, it looks like your red arrow is pointing at 15 degrees (before?). Your blue arrow is pointing to 11 degrees on the other side of TDC (after?). About half way between your two arrows is a mark with a "0" on either side of it. This would be TDC. I don't see the timint pointer in your photo. Merle

    Robert, By the style of the nose and doors, that's a '48-'50 model. (if the parking brake is a lever through the floor, it's a '48 or '49. If the park brake is cable operated with a handle under the dash, it's a '50) And it looks like it's a 1 ton. Is the serial # tag on the cab post by the drivers side door? The 1 ton trucks had the 230 CID engine. Is the P26 engine also a 230? Merle

    Byron, Just put a stamp on the corner and lean it up against the mail box. Then set up a camera to see the postman's espression when he arrives. :D Bryan, You could set the boards in place and then mark the hole locations through the bed side flange. Then remove the boards and drill away. Merle

    Lookin' good, Dave. By the way... what's that rear bumper off of? It's not an original B-Series bumper, is it? It looks good though. Merle
  25. Merle Coggins
    Welcome Tom, Interesting user ID. Care to elaborate? You've got a nice lookin' truck there. Is it road worthy? Anyway, you'll find the serial number stamped into the left front frame rail, just ahead of the front axle. I borrowed this pic from the DEPTCA site for your reference. Merle
