It takes just shy of one tube to re-grease a head.

Has to be done every 300 hours.

Road all the Havasu bikes today, put fresh gas in them and cleaned them up. My Daughter’s Husky was shipped dry from Colorado so will be adding fluids and running it up tomorrow.

Edit: Her ex boyfriend is an Engineer and loves motocross. As a result, he taped on the notes before her bike shipped.

 

[NicPaus]

Next time call me. You already have some now. Hahahaha

Still trying to buy more dirt bikes Lol. But these fell in my lap. Few of the Nieces not fond of the dirtbikes so figured they could ride these and the RZR.

All the dirtbikes listed are still more than I can buy new. Problem is I buy one new 1. Then I got 8 kids saying why did that cousin or sibling get new. "I want a new 1"

Shoot and I thought 3 was bad. 8. Damn you're a good man. My sisters can afford to buy my kids bikes. I'm not buying my nephews any. Lol they can come with me though. I'll take them out. Lol

Much more fun than my car projects. If you fuck these up you can’t pull over to a cloud.

Careful brazing that up, fill that tank with water first

Personally from a safety perspective I wouldn't even mess with that. Regardless of how good you are the prospect of that much corrosion already started elsewhere in the tank that might begin to leak at any time would always be on my mind.

This is beautiful...nicely done! Jealous for sure!

 

[Backlash]

Nothing special, but I picked this up yesterday afternoon and started the process of cleaning it up. I love the fact it's a classic USA made Craftsman which would make my Grandfather proud. It also matches the tools I inherited from him via my Dad.

 

[Your ad here]

Bought a work bench to replace the Knaack box I've been using. Lifted the table and put it on casters within an hour of getting it home.
I've been looking for a smaller generator to power my electric equipment. Winco makes a 3 phase 480 volt compact gas powered one. Found one local with 40 hours but 208 volt 3 phase... Bought it and rewired it for 480 volt a few hours later. Now I'm making a cage for it to mount the fuel tank and battery above the alternator. Making a sub frame with casters as well.

 

[Your ad here]

After about 8 hours, revised design half way through building, handful of "practice pieces", cutting apart one side to square it to the other side, then final welding I have this. Fuel tank will mount on the step and I'll extend the heat shield vertical. Need to mount the battery and make the sub frame with casters.

 

[Deangang]

The notch is getting some leaks fixed and new window regulators. I really enjoy seeing what people are working on.

What’s the story on the 55 Chevy ? Pretty cool.

Hung Newer Merc 200 Verado on our Beefed up Toon Transom last night

 

[Backlash]

Absolutely and completely unnecessary, but whatever.

I found an ad on Craigslist for some Toyota parts and decided "I needed them." I scooped up an IFS front end which included lower arms, shocks, brakes and complete spindle assemblies (Minus locking hubs). I spent the afternoon tearing them down and removing the parts I don't want/need. I'll continue to clean up the spindles then pull the bearings and races and ball joints. Brakes will get redone/replaced and the steering arms will get beefed up. The plan is to finish them up, then set all the new assemblies aside while I continue with this truck build. Just a small "Spare parts" collection for if/when something breaks.

Did I miss something, what are you working on

 

[Backlash]

Did I miss something, what are you working on

Brother, I've got so many damn projects squirreled away it's not even funny! My wife truly has a reason to be angry.

1988 Toyota Hilux Pickup. Currently has a Total Chaos Gen 1 Caddy Kit, Sway-Away torsion bars and 2.5" King bypass shocks. The front end cycles just over 14" of wheel travel with 4WD. The rear has Deaver F67 leafs and they cycled a mile. I'll strap them at about 18". The tuck was purchased brand-new by my father in 1988 from a dealership in Central Florida. It's been garaged it's whole life and he maintained it with an open checkbook. It's rust and accident-free with the original 3.0 with 175,000 miles on it. I've been slowly working on it over the years as money/time permits.

 

[MOUZER]

My 3rd garage clean it out to put boat in it

 

[Cdog]

Took the Hood & cowl in for a chemical strip then a re paint from paint bubbling. It’s temporary till I get the project done then it’s going back to the stock light red orange color.

Added a 85 steering column to remove the floor bright switch and put it on the column. Also added Eddie Motorsports steering wheel with alcantera wrap.
