Re: For Sale: 26-27 TT Hood shelves (new)
My bad the part number is correct, for 23-25 high hood and the 26-27 TT.
Just looked it up in Snyder's catalog, which is probably where they came from.
Sorry for any confusion

Rich, I thought you might recognize it. I vaguely remember it sitting at Macks, our family cabin was over on the reservoir until 1977, and we did most of our shopping etc at Ponds. It's now just up river from Macks. Someone has been posting a bunch of historical photos from Island Park on the IP fac...

Re: Vaporizer Carb rebuild and or how to operate (car will not start!!)
Dave, Those are the diagrams I used. If you look at them you will see a couple of things that may make for hard starting. First is the choke shaft, the end of the choke shaft actually partially closes off a passage for free air at starting. Thus drawing more fuel. The second is the "air damper" make...

Dave, I am certainly no expert as I have only done one, but I will share what I learned. Having worked on a couple of Fordson vaporizers may have given me a bit of an advantage. First if you are going to rebuild it, remember everything has to be air tight. The fuel is drawn from the bowl up almost t...

Re: How do you separate two transmission drums?
Marvin,
As was mentioned it should just slide apart. Check the teeth on the gear sometimes they get a bit of a burr on them and that will keep them from coming apart. Hope that makes sense.
Best of luck,
Kevin
