Good point, im not sure what material the rotor is. Ill have to check it with a magnet tonight. Also, maybe the knock off calipers brake pads are just junk?

Just put a new axle setup on the drift beater/ 60' simplex. I ordered a cheap hydraulic disk setup off jungle prime, and 2 days later the ship date was postponed over a month, and I already had the axle parts. So I had a brand new mechanical caliper sitting around, genuine knott / thomas unit...

Cool! Today a member generously donated me a very bubba'd baja. Your detailed pictures helps a ton in reverting back to it's former self, thanks. Not going to be a 100% factory restoration, but at least hopefully respectful to what is was.

I gave one to Flyinhillbilly , it's a MTD-troy built- cub cadet , ect head off a snowblower most likely Valve cover #95111220 Here's a breakdown of the 357cc engine. https://www.jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/manufacturer/mtd/mtd-ohv-engines/683-wu-engine/engine-assembly-683-wu...

All you need. Once you get the technique down, there not much point in having a changer for small tires.

Well honda does not use black flywheels fans, the markings on the bolt heads do not match anything honda makes, and the coil does not look like a genuine honda part. You have a chinese gx390 knockoff, so ut1 parts are more likely to fit

No need to slather, just a light amount of grease or antiseize where the wheel contacts the axle. If your concerned about the nut backing off , simply don't put the lube on the threads, easy enough. This might trigger some folk, but I lightly lube the lug nuts on my car, ect. Then use a...

Then it would not have any suspension. The shocks are very stiff. The original application is on the rear of the mower below. I think the arms are gonna be just fine. The only way to bend/ break them is to crash into something, or send it off a big jump, ect. It's going to be rode on...

Yeah just for cost and complexity , and years ago I seen these plans and always wanted to build something like it, but better https://www.gizmoplans.com/product/grasshopper-atv-building-plans/ Front wheels are 4.80x8 trailer tires, rear 16x7.50x8 turf savers. It's quite small. Bought a...

Tested the front suspension , works well. Need some pillow blocks to start on the rear.

That reminds me, did Mr_mcrib212 ever finish the budget wood kart?

Welcome! To start look on the blower housing for a sticker or model number stamped into the metal. It should say something like lh358sa-XXXXXX or hmsk100-XXXXXX Unfortunately the 6hp cranks stroke is too small, and just will not fit. Also Tecumseh went out of business years ago, so parts...

The ch440s , at least those on the stihl rb800 pressure washers, do have a quirk. Instead of the bowl vent for the carb being routed at the front of the carb, venting between the carb and block insulator like honda/ predators, it is instead ran over to the air filter side of the carb, and...

Possibly? Ran out of acetylene so the spindle brackets will have to wait

How could I forget about rocky! He was rescued from the belly mower of a yanmar compact tractor. Some lady ran the poor guy over! He also destroyed the gearbox of the 60in deck for her too.

Well im glad someone is following along :thumbsup: The front shocks are from ferris zero turns , the brake caliper is/ will be from a Mahindra side by side, and brake rotor sourced from a billy goat leaf blower impeller

Well the last few days it's been 15-20° , so every time I went to the garage, I just stood in front of the heater for several minutes then gave up. So I decided to work on the motor, in the warmth of the basement Wanted an american made power plant, so I pulled out this 305cc 8hp briggs I/C...

OMB warehouse is good, free shipping on most orders, just one example. Omb's 40 series torque converter kit costs $220, shipped free. GPS wants $370 for a comparable kit, then charges another $20 to ship it. I promise GPS kit is not $170 better than OMB's Just another tip, if a part is...

Was doing some thinking on how to make cheap front control arms bushings, this is what I came up with. Had some 5in x 7/8 x 5/8 steel sleeves lying around. Happens that PEX water pipe fits inside nice and snug. 5$ got a 5ft piece, that can rebuild the control arms for a lifetime. After...

Methanol burns faster that gasoline , so it requires less timing advance. the 32° is good for gasoline, but may be too much for methanol. I would try installing a 4° advance key backwards to retard the timing a bit.
