    Time to play the game. What did I buy.

    I know it's an h35 and I mainly bought it for the throttle. What year is it and I'm guessing g you had to wrap your own string on it.

    Another Manco Thunderbird and a question.

    I picked this up for $175. It's complete and runs great with the original 3.5 tecumseh. There is about 1/8 inch of side to side play in each side of the rear axle. Is that normal or should I tighten the axle bolt to close the gap? Not sure if my picture worked. Thanks.

    Sprocket help

    Hey I have this Ratech clutch on a Jacobsen 321 and I want to get a sprocket for the rear wheel that matches. Am I just measuring the pitch (tip to tip) and number or teeth to find out what would match? Does width come in to play?

    Tab Benoit clip from Callahan's: http://youtu.be/5qVy1tZA2a4 This is only a small clip to show how close I was sitting. First row and I was using the stage as my drink table. This guy can really play the guitar and he sang his butt off. Quite the comedian also! I would highly recommend seeing...

    Got a chance to buy this mini. Would like an I.D. on the frame. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Current owner got it from the original owner and seems to think it's from 1979. I'm thinking older?

    Side to side play in chain

    I've got some side to side slop in my chain. So much so that it occasionally hits the rear fender and makes a quasi rattle. Is this indicative of a chain that is too loose?

    power sport 6.5 crank end play

    I have a pack mule with a tecumseh power sport 6.5 and I've notice it has quite a bit of crankshaft end-play. I didn't measure, but estimate 1/16" or so. There is no wobble. How is the end-play adjusted on these?:shrug: Is it just by using a thinner gasket? Thanks!
