Re: Update#2 first batch ready :Stevens Tool Catalog. any interest in a run of reprints ??
Donnie, I received my copy today. The USPS delivered it to the wrong home one street south of me with same house number, not common but happens both ways on rare occasion. That neighbor hand delivered it to me. When I opened the envelope my first reaction after seeing only the cover was "WOW"! After...

Re: Aluminum Warford Gear Ratio Percentages
Hello Terry, I made up a chart in about in 2004/5 and posted it here some time after that. I pops up again every now and then on this site. Because of the research I did and putting that chart together I decided on 4:1 final gears and I decided on an original Warford over a Ruckstel. I did a similar...

Re: Champion X spark plugs
I believe what he is talking about is how much longer the exposed center electrode is on one plug compared to the other, and thus the difference in the height of the center porcelain below the end of the plug between the two plugs. I am not even close to knowledgeable on spark plug theory, but due t...

Re: Rear shock perch do you know what manufacturer
I would like to thank everyone for the input. I should have posted the dimensions with the first post. The boss is 1-1/2" wide and the bore is 1/2".
They do look allot like the H&D that Mark suggested looking at the information in his link. A very interesting setup.
Thank you,
Terry

Rear shock perch do you know what manufacturer
I found what appear to be perches for a small drum rear axle shock. Does anyone know who the manufacturer was?

Re: What is the vacuum test telling me?
What really stands out to me is your other posts that I believe may be related to this issue and the 2500 miles on the new engine. Some replies imply valves, and I tend to agree it should be the first place you look. The post prior to me writing this suggests it may be weak or broken valve springs. ...

Re: Ideas to remove starter front bushing
The front shaft bushing is the brush end bushing. The easy way to pull it is a 9/16" course tap. Just thread the bushing with the tap and let the end of the tap seat against the blind hole, keep turning and it will pull the bushing right out whether it is babbitt or brass.

Re: No high gear after changing bands and cams.
Hello Ignacio, Looking at your photos I can not tell you what is wrong. I am going to make some assumptions and try to help you understand how the transmission works and to trouble shoot the problem. I believe the transmission was working correctly before you removed the hogs head. Based on this cur...

Re: Kevlar-ing along when the nut dropped into nether regions.
I did that once, missed a hole with the rags and the nut found it. Found nut at drain hole (no magnets). I used a long piece of mechanics wire, bent it into a U shape, ran one end of the u-wire through the middle of the nut and the other end on the outside of the nut, then I pushed the two ends toge...

I have been reluctant to respond to this post. Cambin's (Cameron's) response promoted me to finally respond as well. His reply is absolutely correct.
