    Steel buildings,,, good or bad experiences

    I'm in Ohio. Quite familiar with pole buildings. Right now, the price of a pole building is out of the question. I don't know if you have noticed, but lumber prices have gone crazy lately and a lot of the treated lumber isn't even available in some areas.

    Steel buildings,,, good or bad experiences

    I already have all the wind load, snow load numbers specified on the quote etc. If they live up the quote that is what concerns me.

    Steel buildings,,, good or bad experiences

    I'm getting close to buying a prefab steel building and hoping I'm not making a mistake. There seems to be 100's of companies selling buildings, but most I figure are only brokers. This is a first time purchase for me and not sure I trust any of these companies. The best prices I have so far are...

    Correct engine color for Cletrac engine

    I think they were the same color as the rest of the tractor. Maybe the gray engine was painted that way when it was replaced. I know all my newer Oliver crawlers (OC3, OC-4, OC-12) are yellow all over. You might post the question on Cletrac.org someone there may be more qualified to answer your...

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    Update on the Continental: It was driving me nuts, every basic thing I tried didn't help, so I ended up taking the head and manifold off. I found a broken valve spring on #2 exhaust valve. If the exhaust valve isn't sealing on intake, it wouldn't suck in the fuel/air mixture. Anyway, I'm going...

    Is it 4 cylinder or 6? The early ones (4 cylinder)were trouble with a capital "T" . Notorious for cracked heads and they are rather complex to work on and keep running with the gas starting cycle. But, if you have one that's good and you understand how to run it, they aren't bad machines...

    Vent Free Propane/NG Heaters

    I've been using them for years and quite happy with them. My house is old and has leaky windows, so I get plenty of outside air coming in. I have CO detectors and they have never gone off.

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    What's the point of warming the plug? I already started with a clean dry plug and after running a few minutes, it cam out slightly wet.

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    It's easier to take the manifold off than the head, so I might just take it off and replace the gasket. I'll try gas in the cylinder, but considering I get a wet plug when I run it?

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    Well, I played around with it some more today, and still no answer. First I brought #1 cylinder up on compression and had rotor heading towards the hole that is currently # 1 so basic timing seems correct. I didn't check the timing mark for TDC , but I'm sure it's correct. It's cold out and...

    D4 7u transmission noises

    You might try cracking the drain plug and see if you get any water, since you say it sat a long time. Sounds like bearings.

    Another thought is to take the tappet cover off and see if the valves on #2 cylinder are closing completely.

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    I sort of already did that and I think the plug was dry, but I'll do it again to be sure. If I had the compression gauge screwed in with the engine running that would prove that I have good compression with the engine running. I'll try it again tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks for the reply.

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    Really, the 130# compression is quite good on that old flat head engine. I've had ones with uneven compression with the highest cylinders being around 100# and the weakest maybe 40 or 50# and they still ran.

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    I already tried swapping spark plugs and same results. There are no vacuum lines, just a plug on the intake side of the manifold.

    Continental F series cylinder miss

    Well, that's all I have to go by, #1 at the fan end. Every Continental I've worked on was that way.
