I do see some of the ones with a reinforcing piece on the back listed on ebay. Wonder what the quality of those is like and where they're made.

I haven't seen them for sale in a while either. Going to need something because even the NOS ends have 1990s rubber in them. Eventually we're probably going to have to start taking old ends, removing the old rubber, and filling them with liquid urethane. That's a method I've seen people use...

I picked up the national/timken 39801 PTFE rear main because I thought it would be a good upgrade. It came in and now I'm not sure if the metal ring inside is supposed to be a wear sleeve that installs over the crank or if its just an install tool. Based on how thick it is I'm thinking it has...

Did some measuring and the backing plate, spindle, and shield are about 0.66" thick. The only potential spots where I can see the studs hitting is at the two upper brake adjusters. There's about .875 of space between the bottom of the adjuster and the spindle/dust shield. So if we use the 2"...

So I've been thinking about this more. Would the extra .203" on the 3/8-24 side actually interfere with anything. The hub wont touch them and none of the brake parts should either. Am I missing something?

Awesome. Thats 50% less trimming :) Mine had star washers not regular lockwashers. Was going to use nordlocks when reinstalling.

Are you sure the 3/8-16 side needs to be trimmed? Looked at my knuckle and seems like the hole has at least 3/4 of thread depth before it comes out inside the knuckle.

Cool. Just ordered some new studs. Part number 5MTU2 seems to be almost an exact match to stock. Got them off grainger.

I need to replace a couple of the studs and was wondering if theres any downside to just swapping them all over to grade 8 bolts with lockwashers? I looked around and the folks using the 2.5 ton axles for custom builds do it fairly often, but wanted to check with the great minds here since I...

Awesome. I will leave it in my parts stash.

I got a really good deal on a reman long airpack that was stored in some rough conditions. Most of the parts actually turned out to be in good shape but the air can Im not sure about. The spot where the piston sat developed some corrosion. I ran a fine hone through a few times but can still feel...

Try calling eastern surplus. I know I've seen some individual air assist parts on their site.

The summitracing website is really good for tracking down weird adapter fittings like that. They should have something to go from 1/2 inverted to JIC.

Nice. Look at the brake hoses while you're in there. Old brake hoses are bad news if you have single circuit brakes.

I did some googling and that injection pump seems to be even harder to find parts for than our multifuel pump.

Awesome. Dont scrap that until I hear from eastern :) EDIT: No real updates yet. Eastern let me know they're in the middle of a warehouse move, but are still looking.

Yeah thats the problem. The taper isnt a standard size as far as Ive been able to figure out. So if they have to get a custom tool made the price will get crazy.

Well one thing that should swap over is the improved water pump. Looks like they're around $300 and still available.

Thanks for the offer! Let me see what eastern has to say next week first. Will get in touch with you if they don't have a properly machined replacement.

Well Im pretty sure Im SOL on the brake hone idea. The brake hone isnt precise enough to enlarge the tapered hole evenly while removing that much material. So the torque rod will either be loose if I take out too much material or it wont be able able to move freely because the hole is uneven...
