    clutch pedal adjustment - too much vs. not enough free play

    I don't recall reading anything about that. I'm not sure how something that evaporates as quickly as this stuff does would swell the disks. Hopefully someone can verify that if so. Regardless, If I didn't spray, I'd have to be splitting the tractor, so not much risk in doing so.

    clutch pedal adjustment - too much vs. not enough free play

    Using it to shread now rather than my Kubota has essentially brought it back into service, so it will be used more now, (at least half the year). I don't need to go overboard with removing stuff. I'll just give the threaded adjuster another half-turn and hope for the best. At some point, I'll...

    3-pt lift lever accuracy

    I have a Brush Hog on my '48 8N. When shredding, I'd like to set the height and forget it. Unfortunately, I'm continually having to mess with the lift lever to get the height I want. It does finally settle in, but early on, it's a pain. I'll push the lever up/down slightly and the height...

    clutch pedal adjustment - too much vs. not enough free play

    Thanks everyone for the info. The specs I saw showed 3/4 - 1". I'll adjust mine back down to the slightly less than 3/4" and call it good. The whole reason behind this is to make sure I have as much gap as feasible when blocking the clutch pedal when it sits. I had issues recently with the...

    clutch pedal adjustment - too much vs. not enough free play

    The clutch pedal adjustment at the linkage will give me a bit more that 1" of free play at one setting and a bit less that 3/4" at another half turn. I'd prefer to leave it with less free play, but don't want to cause any issues. I'd think that any significant free play would good, but what do...

    Trying to identify carb to get rebuild kit

    I have an old Honda lawn tractor with a Keihin carb. Here are the markings I found on the carb. I read the bottom as 19BA WD10. I can't find any info for those numbers, or anything like them online. I'm hoping someone here will be able to tell me whether I need to look somewhere else on the...

    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...
