@Gyrkin59 I also have an ancient set of K2's sitting in the corner of my shed, and remounted a my Fathers Rossignol Quantum 2 205cm straight skis, with Salomon C509 Rental bindings 2 years ago. Used skis ( he bought new but 1st remount ) and used rental bindings I got cheap, but being indemnefied...

Dodge slant engines allowed a lower hood line and a better intake manifold. They were also shorter than others because they were designed with shorter accessories. water pump is actually mounted on the side.. they were designed like that. realisticly a better design than any other American inline...

@JohnnyDesaint Ford 300 I6 out of a mid 90's Ford truck will give you a solid EFI setup if you want it ( carb manifolds bolt up also ), and there are tons out there. std SBF bellhousing pattern and all. late 60's .early 70's, they used the 240 I6 in the big cars which is the same block as the 300...

@MrRoadkill48 Inline engines are naturally buzzy sounding when there wound up, due to the firing cycle.. some love it, some hate it.. Auto's kill it, because they have an awesome rap when shifting and decelerating.

@spazmoso not really a comparison. Honda's are really nice engines these were cloned after. With the predators, your paying for what your getting, which is a cheaper built engine. plastic camshaft gear, 2 peice flywheel with plastic fins. As most clones do, they run decent, and would be a good re...

Craftsmen compressors are made by Devilbiss, as is some Husky, Porter Cable, and Delta compressors..

I'v seen people do that, but it's much safer when there is a trailer jack in place

you really can't seat the rings at idle. If the rings are not seated by the time they loose there edge, they will never seat. Winding the motor up seats the rings quicker.. If I were breaking it in, I would idle it for 10-15 seconds and then vary the throttle for 20-30 mins

There technically illegal in all of NY. As of right now, any custom built motorized bicycle is forbidden to ride on the street, and custom building mopeds has no provision in the custom built motorcycle laws ( class C/ below 20MPH ) and with the primitive brakes and small wheels,...

@weedissafer not really. engines are smoother, they do make more power, but frame construction is not as heavy. They use smaller boxed frames nowdays. Power wagon's also have no real comparison in todays market. They are heavier duty, and were heavier duty than comparable trucks when they were ne...

Mud flaps are a good idea... Nice truck, glad you kept it original.. Lots of column shift cars are floor shift converted because the owners can't figure it out or they don't shift right from age.

6cyl fastback is a rarity, but they do exist.. '69 250 CI is a stronger runner than you would think. And they do start that easy

Truck is pretty solid, but there isn't much left of the cars. What parts are there that are usable arn't worth much, unless they had a rare option or 2, which is probably destroyed from the elements.. Truck was probably the last parked of the 3.. Cabs probably worth $300+

2000's were lemons. See many of them in the junkyards because repair costs are greater than the cost of the car

With 'Modern' houses having large open spaces, rather than small rooms, it's often cheaper to demolish and rebuild rather than remodel. It's hard to find a plot of land outside of an HOA in many areas, so buying somthing older and demolishing it for the land that it sits on, is sadly very common....

@MsPowerade123 Just get the right flywheel. 3.5hp horizontal shaft briggs flywheel will replace the lighter vertical shaft mower flywheel and it'll run.. Some top covers may need clearencing

IF your going to DIY a recharge like this, it should only be done with a system that has some preassure, compressor at that point should at least cycle on and off. Check the preassure on the low side, or HF has cheap manifold gauges, along with an A/C vac pump that is cheap.. Then, with an ambien...

@freddytk421 It's not worth purchasing. Save your money if you can't afford better. It is not servicible and just doesn't work well. I now use a Neiko tools Mig 135 which is the same as the Eastwood Mig 135.. less than $300 shipped and I bought a bottle for it.. The HF welder, which I did use fo...

@ikaikaboy88 Yea. 1of my Rangers, was a '98 Ex cab 4L 4x4. little beat, but it was loaded with the rareish bucket seats and center console.. rear sway bar ect... and it was just solid handeling.. ended up getting sun glare on the dirty windshield 1 morning and hit a pole around a bend... I was p...

The Impeller isn't too small. it is just worn. I have 3 Gilson snowblowers, all Unitrol 3spd's and they are 8/26's but there older models and Montgomery Ward branded. from the early 70's. 1 doesn't currently run, but the other 2 are in service.. All 3 have the smaller impeller that Gilson used (...
