Thanks, I was looking for that.

I'll try to answer number one. The drive shaft will fit no matter which end you put forward. It will bolt up two ways, 180 degrees from the other. It really doesn't make any difference. Some people have encountered an imbalance problem when they change the mounting. I have not had that problem and its easy to just rotate it or swap it end for end if you do. Bend up the tabs and push the dust cover back to expose the u-joint. Don't let the spring get you in the eye. If you are going to replace the covers with leather ones, just cut the rubber ones off and there is no need to disassemble the joint. Caution; all advice is just my opinion.

There is a great lack of Cooper.

Personal car talk, is it good for the hobby?
Niel Hoback replied to Bruce48D24's topic in P15-D24 Forum
I enjoy most everyones interest and hearing their stories. The one thing that ever really bothers me is that once in a while some one will actually argue with me about what year it is. One woman is probably still convinced that i don't realize my P-15 is from 1938! -
Really, what did you expect?

Some folks? I am just now allowed to use a crayon!

Bob says "Buffer likes to grab the piece and toss it". More like fire it at you or the most valuable thing in sight with enough force stick it in a tree.

I don't know why I follow this forum, it just makes me jealous of everything I see. That little Plymouth would keep me happy for the rest of my life. Sweet. Its even my favorite color, too. Please don't park it next to that "brand X" thing sitting there.

The cam in question was on a Toro mower from about 1994 of about 5 hp. Plastic or nylon, it just aint steel.
-
Definitely plastic. Scary, eh?
-
Randroid, you called it at the beginning of this thread. Everyone feels the need to prove you were right on the money.
-
I just took a cam out of a small B&S engine. It, too, was plastic. No kidding, plastic lobes and gear.
-
Ouchhhhhhhhh !!

Almost as misused as to and too. Not to mention two.

It's official.

At my age I'll take it where I can get it.

Sorry, I kinda just forgot what forum this is ! See, I really get into nitpicking.
-
Andydodge, did you ever try decaffinated?
-
Nit picking here, I admit. Master cylinders have a rubber gasket under the lid that seals the fluid from air contact. Its folded diaphragm pleats allow the fluid level to drop as it fills the space in the wheel cylinders as the linings wear. So, theoretically, the fluid should not absorb any more moisture than is in the air at the top of the reservoir when you close the lid. How do you spell "theoretically"? and should I even use the word?

Reg Evans, I cannot thank you enough for clearing up a three-year old mystery for me. I would never have figured that out. It is the perfect answer I have always wanted. There is a build date of 59 cast in the block, but I never would have guessed a truck engine. Thanks for making my day.

Who has pictures of the whole collection?

Rodney!! Where are you?? -
Most people here believe Steele rubber to be of the best quality available. It is probably the most expensive available, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Myself, I used Roberts and I am totally satisfied. Andy Bombrain would be a "last resort" situation for me. Probably try making my own before I'd go there. Door sills? Good luck.

Look below the distributor right above the bottom edge of the block. There should be a casting date that will give you an idea of the oldest it could be.
