He would boil brake fluid and pour it into the cylinders. 5 minutes or so would pass and he would hear the rings releasing. Do we want to do any mad scientist chemistry demonstration? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current ones hold air but one is a 9.50 the other is a 8.50. It needs a PTO clutch, pulley and hoop. Maybe some shine juice?? John might want to start a separate thread to keep track of this thing? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evanloock 254 #265 Posted 47 minutes ago I am considering selling the following: an HD-42 blade for a Suburban 400/550, 401 or 551, the bracket used to attach an HD-42 blade to an RJ, a 701 hood, a cultivator frame for the cultivator used on the RJ-35 or Walk-Aways with the long hitch bar, and a complete WT-30 tiller complete with the speed reduction assembly. Will be posting this weekend with photos of what I decide to see/bring to the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
