    Fork tube sleeve replacement ideas

    Look for Nylatron. That is the name brand for a special plastic that can be easily machined but wears really well. It can even wear steel down. Comes in lots of different shapes solids, rounds, and sheets. Used for bushings, washers and places that ordinarily plastic would fail. McMaster Carr...

    Just accidentally grinded my welds and tube, it looks like crap. What do i do now?

    Use a regular cold chisel for metal and a small hammer if needed to knock off the splatter. Then use a fine cut flat file to finish cleaning up the surface. Just make sure that you are rolling the file with the contour of the frame tube as you are filing. You don’t want to hold the file still...

    tecumseh part numbers

    It may mean a change to the part that is an improvement over the previous version. But it will also fit the previous application but it may look slightly different. Like maybe a gas tank with a different fill, different outlet or location of it. Possibly the first version wasn’t ideal or working...

    best way to cut off unwanted welded on brackets and added steal to frames

    After using a cutoff wheel I would use a small right angle grinder to get close. But for the final step I would be using a flat smooth cut hand file. It’s easier to maintain the round tubing shape. You won’t get as many flat spots because you can keep the file moving to follow contours when...

    H50 Snow blower motor

    Excellent information, thank you so much. The responses I received were exactly what I wanted to know about the H50 line of Tecumseh engines. I don’t often post on here because I am limited in my knowledge of the mini bikes. But I do visit the group site nearly every day. Antique and vintage...

    H50 Snow blower motor

    I have found a old snow blower with a H50 motor on it in running condition and in descent looking shape. Would this be a good candidate to use on a earlier 70 mini bike. The model # is H50 65472P and the serial # is 31450. I can probably purchase it for around $50 or less. Thanks for any advice...
