    Obsolete gaskets?

    Yes, I could do that. Unfortunately, this engine is not mine and the owner wishes it to be built with all new parts. If it was mine, I would probably use Permatex, but I'm a barnyard caveman, and I often cut corners to get things running for another season. This engine is a collector's item, and...

    Obsolete gaskets?

    I did, and thank you, but the gasket I need is round in shape with four holes. Either that listing is wrong, or the image is wrong. I already sent a message to that seller. Thank you for looking!

    Obsolete gaskets?

    I am in need of a Tecumseh gasket that seems to be specific to one engine block, the AH817MB, also the AV817, which was the vertical shaft lawnmower version. The gasket number was 510301. I can find the other gaskets but not this one. Do any of you know anybody who can make this gasket? I do not...

    Working on Rupp Roadster2

    Multigrade oils will make smoke. Try SAE 30 or 40.

    marvel mystery oil good or bs

    That is more oil than they recommend, but it keeps my carbs clean and I like the smell of it. No smoke and they do start right up.

    marvel mystery oil good or bs

    I pour 1/2 cup into a 5 gallon can of gas. I add one quart at oil change in my 89 Chevy pickup, which holds a total of 5 quarts.

    Anybody have a Cub Cadet lawn tractor? I have a stupid question ❓

    You'll probably get the two hinge/pivot bolts under the front of the seat. Please tell us what you get?

    ID my old minibike? (Working from memory here...)

    Have you looked in the Media section on this site? There are lots of pictures divided by the manufacturers. You may find your answer there. Good luck and Welcome!

    marvel mystery oil good or bs

    I love MMO. I use it in my gas cans all year long. DO NOT put it in air tools! It makes a dangerous fog in the air! In the engine oil, it seems to keep everything clean. @Minimichael , have you looked at Project Farm on You Tube? he is pretty thourough.

    Anybody have a Cub Cadet lawn tractor? I have a stupid question ❓

    The seat is held on by those grey sliders locked into the two slots in the pan that tilts forward to access the battery. That one bolt doesn't hold the seat on. I believe it holds the lever to allow you to adjust the seat forward and backward.

    Which welder to buy, for a beginner ?

    I keep several on hand. Still more convenient for me and my back, that a big iron tank. The aluminums I can throw right in the hatchback.

    It does look like that one bolt might hold the slide lock handle thing in place.

    Anybody have a Cub Cadet lawn tractor? I have a stupid question ❓

    I believe that is a "multifit" seat and those grey inserts are for a mower with a different type of seat mount. I think they are only used as sliders in your case.

    Which welder to buy, for a beginner ?

    I don't think there are aluminum tanks above 20 pounds. They are used in restaurants for carbonated fountain drinks. I get them at Airgas when I swap out my empties.

    How to measure, cut chains for Rupp Roadster

    I'll be watching the replies here. I have had the same problem with them. Also, one chain always seems too loose when the other it tight. I can't help you, though. Sorry!

    Which welder to buy, for a beginner ?

    I use 100% CO2 in a 20 pound tank. I always ask for an aluminum tank when I swap them out. Cast iron tanks are heavy. With my glasses, I need a big window in my auto darkening helmet. The little, narrow lens/window would leave me blind when the lights go out. Don't be surprised if you spend more...
