Had shitty luck with old gas motors and thought I'd try something different :D 10 horse China diesel (yanmar knock off). First was taking off the recoil assembly. Found out the threaded holes aren't exactly equidistant to each other. Won't be a problem, but made drawing them into the CAD...

Figured some of you might get a kick out of this. Up until now we've been using a standard issue hydro JD2 to bend all our tube. Well, in keeping with our plasma table and 60 ton CNC press, we decided to upgrade the ol' bender. Settled on the Baileigh Industrial RDB-250. Considering the...

With the new garden tractor almost up and running, I've been on full tilt figuring out useful things to fab. Wanted a log arch for a while and now have an excuse to build one. If you're not familiar, its an arch with a crank/winch to raise logs and tow them behind an ATV or tractor without the...

So, as stated in the Chatterbox, we recently picked up an older Allis Chalmers 912 Hydro. Since I can't leave well enough alone, and since the jeep is currently in a state of completion, here we go with a garden tractor build thread :redneck: While I'm waiting for my new piston, rings, rod...

Bye bye stupid old cage. I didn't like you from day one and now I say, "Get the **** outta my jeep!" More on that later. However, in the meantime... Apparently my friend Brian felt like cutting and my jeep happened to be in the way. Then Mike joined the assault Due to...

So stoked! Weif has been talking about biking since we moved, so we decided recently to bite the bullet and grab some bikes. I haven't ridden since I was 17 :haha: My XTR'd, Judy SL'd GT Zaskar was my last bike before selling to my dad for my little step bro years ago. Anywho, didn't want to...

Ran up to a recently new offroad park in mid northern Michigan this last Saturday. Wanted to check it out, and I must say it was much better than I expected. They luckily enough have natural rocks on site which they've been positioning withe dozers and loaders to build this park. Most **** I...

So I recently acquired a Warn A2500 ATV winch. Good buddy of mine got this thing years ago to put on his trailer but never got around to it, so it's just been taking up space. I got the winch, cable, and battery wiring included. Already have a spare hook and remote, and I'll be picking up an...

So I recently acquired for free a Warn A2500 that I'm planning on (multi) mounting to my trailer. It came with everything except the contactors (never heard that term until I looked up the parts list :eeek:) Contactor: Will the control box/solenoids from a Warn M8000 work to function the...

Apparently my webernetz searching skills suck tonight. Is there a difference between the main leaves in waggy front spring packs for the 5, 6, and 7 leaf versions? i.e. Does the HD 7 leaf have a military wrap whereas the 5 does not...? I got HD 7 leaves from JC Whitney years ago and was...

Alright, help me out here... The way I have my headlights now wired on the jeep is apparently causing problems. Previously, I had a standard 30a automotive relay from Autozone wired in to power the headlights. A powered switch in the dash triggered the coil and the lights did work for a bit...

Just spent a few days down at Windrock near Oliver Springs, TN to check out the Southeastern wheelin scene and had an absolute BLAST!! :011: Unfortunately I couldn't pull together the funds to finish the rig and pay for fuel going down this time around, so I spent one last trip riding bitch...

Tonight I finally got to the point of putting my clutch linkage back together for my T5. Visually everything looks better than it ever has but when I went to test the pedal, it felt as if there was no clutch (i.e. the only resistance was the light return springs). I can manually push the arm...

In the essence of cleanliness and order, it's time to wire in an accessory fuse panel. Thinking both immediate needs and down the road (keeping in mind I still want to rip out all factory wiring at some point), I can see needing fused switches for: -Headlights (aftermarket) -Rock lights...

Yes I know Dodge ball joints are hit and miss for ease of replacement. Well clearly mine have chosen the "miss" path... I won't even get into the aggravation of getting the hub assembly off but it's off now. I rented the C style ball joint tool from Autozone that people seem to have mixed...

Our garage is in dire need of lights. Currently there is only one bulb in there on a switch besides the bulbs in the garage door opener that go out after a minute. So I've been trying to come up with ways to get light in there cheap. By cheap, I mean I can't currently afford to by 6ish $40 a...

Getting ready to do some wiring and was looking through one of crash's latest builds because I like the clean setup. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: -Wire in new 1 wire alternator -Wire in taurus fan -Rewire winch -Add post block (junction?) for all pos+ wires I'd like to figure out...

So this last weekend as I was putting the rig back together, I got to wondering... What is the absolute LEAST amount of wiring I could have and still have a running vehicle...? (I in no way am touching my wiring now, but the thought crept in there as I was tieing wires out of the way that I...

-Needs to fit a 4.2L CJ7 -Serpentine belt style -Enoungh juice to run a taurus fan w/o struggling -No need to pay extra for bling -100amp+ Where are the best deals? I'd love to order today. :cool:

Thought about sticking this in tow rig but it isn't really tow rig specific... I've been chasing a brake issue for a while now with my '00 Dodge 3500. Brakes haven't been what they used to and really started to act up recently. I changed the front pads prolly a year and a half ago so I had...
