Here is something out of the Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde laboratory but apparently if you fill the gas tank with a salt water solution, then connect the ground of a battery charger to the tank and the positive to a rod inserted into the solution, which does not contact either the fill neck nor the botto...

Rust Check is a Canadian chain that sprays their proprietary oil based product into cars to stop corrosion. It works so well that they will warrant your car against rust for as long as you own it. On cars it needs to be re-sprayed every year. Given my tractor and trailers are never in salt, I only s...

Using the search function I can see the 200 slider dimensions, but not the 444?

Would anyone happen to have the dimensions nearby?

I just mounted the fender with panel bond. The instructions for the panel bond says to rough up the unpainted surface with 50 grit and attach it metal to metal. It appears to me if the entire surface of bare metal where it is being attached is covered with panel bond, it should seal it and provide c...

Thanks again Frank, this is exactly what I was looking for. It might be a bit crude compared to modern set up's, but with a bit of time it is a way of getting close. Belt wear/longevity seems to be the best way to confirm alignment. I found about a dozen badly worn belts in the seat trunk of one of ...

I hope I'm not out of line posting all these questions (I have a million of em)? I am confident with anything to do with the drive and engine, this is my first fender replacement and fairly inexperienced at body work. I am starting to line up my frame and fender for welding back together and I was w...

Thanks gent's, I'm looking. So far I haven't seen anything for the 500. In an effort to try and determine how much offset there needs to be between the drive and driven clutches, I was thinking of making a stand to be able to run the machine in the shop with the tracks spinning. Would anyone know if...

Thanks Steve, my local Car Quest says they cross reference to an A7 plug. Is this still the correct/same plug?

I noticed some of my other engines have Bosch plugs in them, (no idea of they are correct), so I guess there are 3 alternatives, Champoin, NGK and Bosch.

After trying to find the correct NGK and Champoin spark plug in the search function, I give up.
Can anyone tell me what they call for in the 252?

Thanks

Thanks Frank, that is the most important spec I need at this time. You have done a lot with the clutching on these machines, would you happen to know who made the primary clutch and if we can still source primary clutch springs? Mine is very weak and would gain from a slightly higher engagement/run ...
