    Trailer coupler broke

    If it's just the sort of repair that Eman85 & soupkid are pointing too, I'm confident that I'm not putting anyone at risk. Weather hasn't permitted it yet, but I'm planning on welding something in to be the stopper/guide shortly.

    Trailer coupler broke

    No, I don't usually grease the ball. I'll keep that in mind, but it's not worn away where it meets the ball.

    Trailer coupler broke

    The trailer coupler on my trailer failed. The tongue locking under the ball no longer holds in position. Pic below shows it dropped down. I can push it up and down in both locked and unlocked positions. Nothing obviously broken to me when looking at it, but something's wrong. Not sure what...

    Question about old-style locking mechanism - Knaack job box

    OK, that adds up. I'll need to get/make the flat notch piece. I suppose that the notched piece (NP) is mounted on those triangular brackets shown in my 1st pic. I'll need to get some dimensions for that. Getting closer now. Thanks Scott.

    Question about old-style locking mechanism - Knaack job box

    The pic with the lock looks very much like the cage in the 3rd pic of post #1. Your other pic with the arm on a pivot I can't place. So, I went out to look at my mechanisms again and noticed something that I should have noticed a LONG time ago (man, can I be dense....) This is the Watchman...

    Question about old-style locking mechanism - Knaack job box

    Yep. And I see treasures everywhere. It was given to me and I took it as a source for sheet metal for whatever might come up, but couldn't resist the urge to put it back to use. I've already replaced the rusted feet with treated 4x4's and patched some rust holes. This is the last thing that...

    Question about old-style locking mechanism - Knaack job box

    This thing's so rough, I can barely make out the Knaack. :p Thanks for the links. The wernerco site all had the modern versions. You can make an argument, and I'd probably lose, that this thing isn't worth the effort. We'll see how long it takes me to just consider it scrap, which is...

    Question about old-style locking mechanism - Knaack job box

    That makes sense. If I could find some pics, I could find or make some parts.

    Question about old-style locking mechanism - Knaack job box

    That would make sense, but the opening is too small for my lock. If it would fit in, it would be too deep for the key, so I'm not so sure.

    Question about old-style locking mechanism - Knaack job box

    I have an older Knaack job box with the piano lid. Newer models have a sliding pin that locks into place and is easy to understand. The older one I have that I'm trying to get back into serviceable condition has no sliding pin. Here's the tab on the lid that goes down into the box. Here's...

    How many shims needed for rear hub freeplay adjustment?

    Thanks, but I'm aware of the procedure. Just looking for the shims, hoping they're on the YT site since I'm about to put in an order.

    How many shims needed for rear hub freeplay adjustment?

    Yes, I know it can't be answered without more info. I'll be replacing my left rear wheel seal since I've got a leak now that's contaminated my brakes. One procedure I read stressed the need to get the right adjustment on the wheel hub, which needed shims. I resealed both sides maybe 8 years...

    Oscillating idle - 8N

    I'll keep that in mind, but I also keep in mind every time I open it that it is supposed to be 2-turns out, so I'm visualizing half a turn with each flick of the wrist. Should be pretty close. If it's being starved for fuel, I'd expect issues at higher throttle more than at idle, and that's...

    Oscillating idle - 8N

    carb was rebuilt recently and float level was checked, verified correct.
