Do you have any factual data to support that "self draining oil filters" were intended in the design and are thus a design feature and not a design shortcoming?

I have one of the 1.5kW generators with the 2 cylinder engine. It is a bear to start cold (apparently common) and is obnoxiously loud. It is also quite large for it's power output. Based on my experience with it and it's lack of a circuit breaker, the output is intentionally limited by the...

Small block chevy valves are often retrofitted. I also suggest calling Patrick of Patrick's Antique Cars. Patrick's Antique Cars - Parts for your classic cars and trucks

I don't know if I agree with the last part of your post (or at least how I have interpreted it). I think that it has come full circle. My grandfather bought almost everything out of a Sears catalog. Today, I buy most things off the internet (worldwide catalog). There just isn't a need for a...

If I remember correctly, the SD law was not that specific in that it did not refer to a certain type of steering; only that a direct mechanical connection was required. I'm going to try to find my old codified law book...

How can a "lean" condition in a diesel cause damage? Isn't that akin to a freewheeling cylinder? How about at idle where the whole engine operates lean?

Is SD, there used to be a law requiring a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. As far as I can tell, this has been repealed. However, not knowing the code number of the law, I can't verify that it has been repealed. I first saw the steer by wire (really not...

Every business is in it to make money. The question is do they offer enough value to justify the higher costs.

I sold a rebuildable civvy 302 for $400 a few years ago.

I added five inches to mine to get the wheels centered in an M105 bed.

No offense to your town as I spent many summer days of my youth there.... but it, like most small towns in the midwest, is a dying POS with zero chance of pulling out of it's downward spiral. This is the same town that didn't want to bring in any industry (well before yours and my time). If...

The R6602 was used in: Brockway and Diamond T trucks as well as one farm tractor.

You can buy a remote reservoir at walmart. $8

Had to replace the fan blade after this...

Anybody ever take out a shim or two to tighten up the preload? I have a little lateral movement once it is warmed up.

Understood. They aren't torn but they are showing signs of deterioration. They are better than the new vinyl or NOS rubber but I was dissappointed that they didn't hold up better. Can't understand why the suppliers don't use something better. I certainly can't justify using the one piece...

My new manufacture ODiron boots are deteriorating after less than one year. The vinyl boots were trashed well withing a year. The new old stock were even worse. Would REALLY like to see a better boot material/ design.

Could two slightly different vibration frequencies occasionally mix to produce a low frequency shudder? I've experienced it on farm equipment with LOTS of rotating components.

We are starting to see the Griffons used in tractor pullers out here in addition to the Allisons. The people that I have talked to also said that the Griffons had weak rods but apparently the Allison has a weak main? IIRC it was #4? Any truth to the rumor that somebody is building NEW Allisons?

I believe that the technical term for the primary reduction is spiral bevel. However, I don't see how operating in reverse would result in a thrust load while forward would not. The pinion is supported by tapered roller bearings and would seem to me to support thrust loads just fine.
