I am up for a challenge...But it may be this winter before I start. What part of the City are you in?

[gwgdog66 23]

North Del City off of Reno between Sooner and Sunny Lane.

[Prater 75]

My father is pretty close to you. He is a cement plant manager. Off of Vicki and NE 4th. Buzzi Unicem USA

I had an issue with the motor today, no spark. I worked this afternoon on it ad just about gave up when I decided to clean the points one more time. Not expecting it to fire I just reached around and hit the ignition. It fired just fine and I cannout hear a thing since the exhaust was in my ear...I killed it quick. Hope I did not disturb the neighbors...LOL

[gwgdog66 23]

I hate it when that happens! Yea I know where that plant is at, not too far at all.

[Prater 75]

Dads fixin up that Work Horse he got. It will most likely be brand new when he finishes...

[Prater 75]

Lets see if the video works...This is at idle from about 10 feet away.

[gwgdog66 23]

Sounds good! That is the open header right?

[Prater 75]

Yes, thats the open header. I am looking for info on building a baffle for it. I am trying to find where the sweet spot may be on a single cylinder 4 stroke motor...

[Prater 75]

I am now ready to work, mother nature on the other hand is not ready for me yet...

[gwgdog66 23]

Cool Deal. I hear that, grass will be knee high before it dry's out.

Did you get that front wheel toe-in worked out? They make / or made a HD spindle kit for it. If I remember right it came with wheels, tires, and maybe new tie rods. Mike C-Series 14 put a set on one of his a few years ago. He could tell you for sure Part number and what all came with the kit.

[Prater 75]

I am just starting to work on that issue. I am thinking of a 520 front end...I wonder if the 520 spindles will work in the 416 axle...I can then look at the bearing sizes in the front wheels.

[gwgdog66 23]

I believe they will. That HD Spindle kit if I remember right was for a 520 series, but fits all the Long frame tractors. I'll shoot Mike a PM and see for sure though.

[Prater 75]

Just sent him an email.

Did you recieve the email I sent you?

IF you do build an Ark, I'm dying to see what you would select as an appropriate "pair" of Horses to bring aboard for posterity!

On the bright side, at least you could start gardening on Mt. Ararat as soon as you landed!

[Prater 75]

I just painted the 12x7 wheels and had the Duro 23x10.5-12 tires mounted.

Then I did some yardwork...I really need some differnt front tires though. The turf tread would not bite good in the dirt and the tractor would slip instead of turn.

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040]

The 3 rib front I hear turn well. -looking good !!

[Prater 75]

Did a bit more yard work yesterday. Trying to get some seed started to help keep my dirt in the yard...Looks like more rain this weekend

[Duff 206]

Steven, what's that interesting looking wooden structure in the background?

Duff :drool:

[Prater 75]

I drink a lot of Whiskey...

[Prater 75]

Its actually a Sauna that my wifes parents gave us. I have not hooked it up yet and probably wont until I have a patio built for it and a hot tub.

[Vinylguy 4,666]

Sorry about this Steve, But I had to do it. again but your vessel Rocks

Looks Like your boat brings out the demon in ya.

[Prater 75]

Thats awesome, I will actually use that a few places if you dont mind...

I was looking through my paints and discovered some Ceramic Red 1200 degree paint that I used on my Corvette brakes. I never had an issue with the paint flaking off the brake calipers and I know they got glowing hot several times. I have 5 coats on the header and letting it dry. I will cure it in the oven at 300 degrees for 2 hours.(Just dont let my wife find out)

I hope you never had your calipers glowing! Your rotors should be taking all of the heat and glowing but the calipers would NEVER get that hot.
