    Old Garage Find: PE-75 Near MINT Genset!

    Does anybody know if i can still get the 2 prong connector to plug directly into the generator? Is that a standard item? Right now there are "wing nut" I can put the wire under and use it that way, but it would be neat to find the original style connector to use.

    Old Garage Find: PE-75 Near MINT Genset!

    yup... Briggs and Stratton Model ZZ... 6 horse power. It might be a 1947 unit, but i am not sure. there is not a serial number on the engine data plate. Just "Type 308171". Also the data plate that should say, "PE-75" is chipped off. I don't know why it is like that although i can see some...

    Old Garage Find: PE-75 Near MINT Genset!

    Here are some pictures right after the first start up. It smoked quite a bit because I put a little oil in the cylinder while I had the head off. It was pretty smoky and not happy, but it eventually cleared up and does not smoke now.

    Old Garage Find: PE-75 Near MINT Genset!

    yup. Its neat because I see a lot of stuff made in Ohio or Michigan. Not much is made in New York, hence why I live in Michigan. :wink:

    Old Garage Find: PE-75 Near MINT Genset!

    I bought this Genset the other day from a guy in my town. It did not run but is in great shape! It does not look abused at all. It was low on oil when I first checked it, but I added some. The fuel tank inside is in MINT shape and I thought the carb would be the same way. It had the original...

    Dietz Model 32 Road Flare / "smudge pot"

    Are there any guidelines for the wick height on these? It seems to me that if there is not enough wind, the burner carbons up and eventually goes out. I'm just wondering if this is the nature of the beast or if i need to replace a wick or something.

    Dietz Model 32 Road Flare / "smudge pot"

    Does anybody have any experience with these antique road flares aka “smudge pots”? I bought 2 brand new ones at a swap meet a couple years ago and painted them up nice and planned on using them when I go camping. They work nice to keep the 'skeeters down and to light the area around the camp. I...

    Oh, the filter flows at about 15 CFM, so that is twice the rate for the 7 CFM compressor. I will try to get the filter number.

    Speedometer Adapter Leaking Gear Oil

    I ordered the one from NAPA and it seems to be ok so far. Its not the exact seal for the job, but it works. I don't think anybody could get these trucks not to leak a drop if they tried. We only can get them to drip less. Haha!

    Heater Blower Motor Resistor Repair and Replace

    The heater blower motor resistor burned out a little while back in my Deuce. I researched a replacement but did not find anybody that had one. Since wire wound resistors are not usually expensive, I decided to see if Newark had a similar resistor. I found a direct replacement and all I had to do...

    Deuce Air Compressor Filter Upgrade / Oil in Air Tanks fix / Compressor PM

    It all started when I noticed some sprayed oil on my oil filter housings that was coming from the air compressor filter intake. I have the single cylinder air compressor by the way. My first thought is that it is a newer compressor and how could it be worn out? I didn’t think it was. The other...

    Anybody have wiper blades for an M35A3? I think they would be the same for any MV with electric wipers, but not sure. I could use a pair.
