    Thanks again, Bruce. Since it's brand new oil in there, I may fish it out next week.

    Hydraulic Dipstick--Unbelievable!

    This could only happen to me. I just pulled the 8N out of the garage to do a little bush hogging. The hydro dipstick was gone! I found ONLY the external part on the garage floor. I have to assume that the rest is in the bottom of the case. How big of a problem is that? I'm going to have the...

    Manifold Replacement

    Hey Dave, NAPA was my first stop with the part numbers I got from Bruce in my hand--don't have 'em, can't get 'em. Same story at Fastenal and two local hardware stores. These thing are not so available. It just don't see a problem with a stud threated with #14 on either end. I don't need a...

    Manifold Replacement

    That's the reason I asked the question. I can't get the studs or the brass nuts locally--and that includes, NAPA, Fastenal, and two local hardware stores. If the only reasons to use brass are prevent sticking and stripping, In not going to use them. A Snap-on torque wrench and some never sieze...

    Gear Lube-NAPA vs. TSC

    According to what I've read here on the forum, 134D = NAPA 65-205 90w mineral oil. If I'm wrong, somebody please yell "stupid" at me before I go buy it!

    Gear Lube-NAPA vs. TSC

    Yeah....I'm shocked. Why would anybody pay nearly twice as much for 80-90? The only reason I even went there was I saw it posted here that it was clearanced at $29.99 @ TSC--I'd pay that for it. Yeah--I thought it was shamefull.

    The Ultimate Tool

    They are a fire service invention. They are meant to be paired with a flathead axe for forcible entry. Put the flat edge in the doorjam, pop it a time or two with the flathead, crunch...you're in. One of the FFs I worked with had developed a class for all the different ways he's figured out to...

    manifold studs

    Replace all four studs? Use lock washers on all four?

    manifold studs

    Thanks. Yeah, it was a surprise! The old nuts are not brass, but the new ones are. There is also a lock washer on two of the four. Is that needed? Another shock for my marine mechanic self--the carb is made of IRON?

    manifold studs

    I am doing some work on the old girl, '49 8N, later this week including new mainifold, new exhaust/muffler, carb rebuild, fuel system service, ect. Today I took the manifold off. The rear-most (closest to the exhaust pipe) stud came out with the nut, and behind it came a steady stream of...

    Zane--hydraulic referal--HELP!

    Didn't mean to totally single you out, Zane, but a trusted source told me to find you for this. I don't think he (or I) meant to rule out others. Our new home is 10 acres near West Blocton, AL, and I don't think you're far from there. Anyway. I have a 1949 8N (S/N 212025). I just got it a week...

    Zane--hydraulic referal--HELP!

    Zane, I got you on the forum as the 8N hydraulics guy (The Man). Please let me know if you want me to post my issue here or by e-mail. Anyone with 8N hydraulics/pump knowledge--please. In short, can I rebuild that pump myself and do I even need to? Thanks

    horsepower requirement on the push boat for a home made barg

    A few additional thoughts: Modern, properly maintained outboards WILL NOT overheat at midrange rpm. They will pump out gobs of tourque and hp and stay right in temp range (especially 2-strokes). They need to both have water psi gauges--they are the best indication of cooling. Everybody needs...
