Practiced a rite of passage ... 

I have a  Koozie I should give to @wallfish for the next time he has a water bottle with gas in it!

While reading through the string on 520-8's, I had an interesting (Dangerous? Dumb?) thought - we've got a lever steer registry.  Would there be any value of building a registry for 520-8's and another for C-195's?  Both of these are low volume models.

Comments?

 

 

I’d be up for that being a limited production machine. Unfortunatly I bet many of the stickers with the serial numbers have faded or gotten ruined somehow.

  My decal is holding in there still…

Production numbers are something I really wish the Pond Family and later ownership companies would have released. 

It would be neat for us minutiae lovers and also settle some long standing questions.

Thanks, Kevin for the opportunity for the rest of us to gain some wisdom.

have you ever loaded a tractor on a trailer not attached to a truck…  Two jack stands under the rear end of the trailer and chocked wheels make it workable.

Only if you consider "failure" like Thomas Edison did... a positive thing... Will I agree with your statement... 

 

Every failure adds knowledge and improves future outcomes...

What’s the old saying? “A man who has never made a mistake, has never made anything!”.

It is with deep gratitude that I and all Red Square members bestow upon Kevin this certificate for sharing the wisdom you have contributed to the rest of the group.

You think that would work for driving out the pin of  balance gears ⚙️   ?

 

 

I just used a punch and hammer to drive them out

That's what I did before but I'll be damned if I could find my correct sized punch. I've ordered a couple types of steel rods for which I'll cut some pieces off and use that as a punch.

Why would you want to pull out those pins EB? We already know they can be pulled without removing the pins.

Not on a K341 unless you remove the other parts or break the gears.  

I don't want to do either of those things.  

 

IMHO the safest and easiest way is to drive the pins through unto the crankcase.
