Re: Hydro pump, pic heavy

Nice pics Vince :beer: We tear down those hydro gear pumps and wheel motors etc. at least once a week or once every two weeks sometimes more often. We've never had a failure at that hour level however. They are really neat for those that have never had one apart, I never thought to take pictures. Do...

Re: Delmont Apple Festival

I went today turn out for the pulling was good. I saw Howard and chatted a while. Pulled my 123 Hydro in the 1000lb single 16hp stock class against some much more potent tractors and managed to drag the sled 65ft or so until I broke traction. It was a good time can't wait to take the 126 next year.

Re: Mistery differential

8.25 chrysler was never a drop out axle. Only 8.75 chrysler was dropout, I think the 7.25 chrysler may have been drop out as well in a car application. Big Dodge Trucks had different types of dropout axles in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Re: Waukesha Engines

Waukesha engines also powered many fire trucks. A friend of mine just finished cutting up two junk trucks with spicer 5spd automatics and giant 1100 cubic inch Waukesha gas 6cyl's. One didn't run and the spicer was junk, I think the other truck was operational minus the pump and a junk rusty tank.

Re: Carb ??? hints tips ??

By changing the gap of the points your effectively changing the timing correct? I know when I got my 123 it was running extremely hot with a burnt valve as well. We richened the carb and correctly set the points and it runs wonderfully now after replacing the valve.

Any ideas of where to start with my charging ...

My 123 doesn't have an hour meter on it, however, I'm the third owner and according to the service manual the brushes in the starter generator should be checked every 500 hours and replaced when worn to half. Mine were worn to almost nothing, so I'm assuming my Kohler K301 has well over 1k hours on ...
