    muffler clamp tricks??

    huh. muffler has a 1.5" OD exhaust pipe, and the flapper caps this site offers are for 2.5" pipes? thats not much use. ok, i see $7 1.5" flappers on fleabay. close enough.

    muffler clamp tricks??

    yeah, thats what I'm thinking. but the 90 can't stick out too much or it will interfere with the loader when its 'high' I was thinking of about a 12" rise, with a sharp 100-ish degree bend on the top, and cut off at a bias, so its like a hood. this tractor lives outdoors, I don't have a...

    muffler clamp tricks??

    and, I got a replacement clamp from the vendor, I'm trial fitting it on the new manifold before even putting the new exhaust pipe on, its a bit snug, I put maybe 5-10 ft-lbs on the nuts using a short handle ratchet, and SNAP. break *another* clamp. where it cracked, it was corroded halfway...

    muffler clamp tricks??

    I'm installing a "U" pipe for a vertical muffler per my kid's request, having broken off two horizontal mufflers while clearing brush with the front loader... so Im not quite sure how that jack trick will work for me... but when I get another clamp, I'll try again. I managed to break the one I...

    muffler clamp tricks??

    I'm trying to clamp the new muffler pipe to the new exhaust header with a new clamp, and its not even close to working. (all parts bought from this site). the clamp arrived with one half backwards, so I flipped it around so the large side was on top of both halves and the smaller side was...

    8N exhaust manifold

    3 of mine look to have brass nuts. the 4th (in the 3rd position from the front) appears to be a hex bolt and not a nut, ugh. I will hit it with aerokroil a few dozen times before I even think of taking them off. I've ordered new brass nuts, and I guess I'll deal with whatever the bolt is...

    8N exhaust manifold

    oh, and since i have to take it off to do this, should I plan on some carb service, like cleaning, new gaskets ? unless, I dunno, is there some way I can attach a muffler to a manfold thats broken off right above the flange? maybe muffler tape and steel can wrap with clamps ?

    8n front distributor timing

    I replaced the whole distributor as the old one was very beat up and ancient and falling apart. I don't any sort of bench press to do a bushing install.

    8n front distributor timing

    new 8N front distributor (old one had badly worn shaft), new points, new 12V coil... if I static time it per the various instructions, using a ruler relative to the screw holes, it ends up all the way at one extreme, and the coil center spring contact doesn't reach the big brass screw very...
