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.- timsch

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...- timsch

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...- timsch

Roughly, not exactly. 4 flicks of the wrist. I've checked flow to/thru the carb and it's good.- timsch

Oscillating idle - 8N
Yes, Rodger, thanks for the heads-up. I was aware of that from looking into working on the governor from some other threads. When taking it apart I had it in mind and figured the shorter one would have been the one closer to the workings of the engine, and that turned out to be the case...- timsch

Oscillating idle - 8N
Much appreciation for the info, soaked. So, since the balls aren't supposed to be touching the wall if properly adjusted, I shouldn't bother smoothing out the groove. The gap was ~0.280; no ball shop shims under the washer at all. I assumed the internals would be worse since the gov output...- timsch

I got the governor apart and found that there was a groove, but so shallow in most places it looked more like a track with no real depth. There were sections of the track where material had slightly worn away, but was not uniform. Initially, I thought, "great, no groove, and all should be...- timsch

Exhaust pipe flange in bad shape
Like I said, I'm looking for good solutions. I don't cheap out on the important maintenance and repairs. This doesn't fall into that category. I also have in my mind the importance of being able to fix what you have. It's all training for the next great depression. Maybe the critics will...- timsch

Exhaust pipe flange in bad shape
I'm happy with the rest of the pipe and muffler that looks to be good quality. If I can get an easy effective fix from stuff i have around the shop, I'd call that good.- timsch
