Just got back to the Hotel . VERY nice display of MV's . Lots of vendors , ( Usual list of suspect's LOL) Very nicely done . Seemed to be a good crowd , and as usual spent lots of money $$$ !!!!! 4 trips to the parking lot to put the goodies away ! :tank: bob k

We made it ! REALLY NICE HOTEL !!! WOW , not used to this . Doing the river cruise tonight , this should be a great show !!! :beer: bob k

Sounds GREAT !!! pressure looks good , no smoke , I think you got a winner there ! congrat's way to go :goodjob:

Word of caution , if you are driving up 65 from Nashville and parts south , give yourself plenty of time , there is LOTS of road construction , down to 1 LANE in some spots north of ETOWN ! We are going in a day early just to give us some wiggle room . We hit a amazing amount of road work this...

Yes , they are Fun MV's . 1953 was a big year for M37's . Mine is a 1953 . BTW , serial # is on a cowl tag and on the L/F frame rail ,behind the wheel . They should match . The deal with the oil pump gear is that the Military engine blocks are somewhat different than the civilian version , plus...

Congrat's on your find ! M37's are one of the easiest MV to work on and find parts for . BTW ,M37's don't have magneto's , just a set of points . When you changed over to a civilian distributor , did you remember to change over the oil pump gear ? What year is your M37 ? doesn't look like a B...

Hate to say it , but WE were ALL kinda like that at one time ! but look at us now !!! LOL

Agreed , but I still would not feel real comfortable driving a distance with leaking seals , plus the gear oil getting on the brake linings , that's a for sure OOS on a DOT check . One HD tow job on the road could make the bearing fix seem like a bargain .

Agreed ,oil bath bearings are great , but not in A3 rockwell , and it WILL take the GAA right out of the bearings , ask me how I know . You must service those bearings . Wait till he gets a price on the CTIS inner bearing !

Hard to say , but if you plan on driving home better get it serviced ,at least the rear boogie's . This system IMHO was OVERSOLD to the GOBERMENT as a great ADD ON , talk to anybody who worked on them and you find out the CTIS on the A3's was a constant fix !!!! . If you can find a shop that...

That is GEAR LUBE ! not a good thing , it usually means you have gear lube in YOUR tire and BEARINGS ! The same thing happened to me which is why I changer over to the A2 bearings . If you can check your wheel bearings I am sure you will find the GAA washed out of the bearings by the gear lube ...

If you want to practice welding , get a decent machine , I like the Miller and or Hobart Mig ,easier to use and you can usually catch a sale . You want to practice on the machine you are going to WELD with , this way you learn use of the heat range / wire speed on THAT machine . I have both...

On my A3 , I removed the CTIS bearings and seals and replaced them with A2 bearings and seals . That system was and is a NIGHTMARE ! I will bet you have gear oil in some of your air valves , you need to fix that ASAP as the gear oil will wash out the grease in the wheel bearings . It is easier...

Just a quick note on the wiring from Vintage , if you want to add some lights or maybe an electric fuel pump in the future , have Vintage run the wires in the harness . I had them run wiring for a electric fuel pump back by the tank and it came out great . You just give them the details and they...

Perfect ! and so the "GREEN ADDICTION" starts ! take lots of pictures so we can check out the new toys !!! LOL

If you can get both for $4000 - $4500 , you are doing good . You could part them out for more than that . I would take him out on his offer especially if he gets them running , that way you could hear them run and drive . good luck.

The Kublo's are pretty good people . I am glad this fiasco is working out for you . Man this has been a lo-----oooooong road for you . But you are getting closer to the finish line. Just think how great that FIRST ride will be !!!!! :tank: Bob k

The price is good for both , even $5000 or $4500 would be better . All the pieces are there but you would probably NEED both MV's to make ONE good one . However , they are going to need some big time PM's to get them into shape . They are NOT ride and drive . If I wanted a Deuce that I wanted to...

It comes down to the KISS principle , look for the simple stuff first . I would pressure wash the entire carrier and then you will have a better picture of whats leaking and where . BTW , I Had the NEW Harley guy going nuts looking for a leak , then I had to tell him , he was LESS that amused ...

ALL MV's leak some , you have to decide what is excessive . As they say if it's not leaking it's out of something . We are talking gear lube , NOT brake fluid or anti freeze !!! those are a no no ! Pretty much like an old Harley ! LOL not to hijack the tread , but on leaking Harley' s How...
