When checking valve clearance, make sure the tappets are NOT ramping up on the camshaft. This should be very easy to check since you have the engine out.

Is that missing the valve spring seat? ( to keep it off the cast iron block )ઠ

Hey guys, just a update I was told that the tappers have to be riding on the camshaft at all times. Is this true or not They are "tappets" and yes, they ride against the camshaft. They are only tight against when they are ramping up or down the lobe. At all other times, the correct valve lash gives...

Just added PTO pulley pullers

Thanks

Loren, There are plenty of causes for that knock. See if you can use a 1-2 micrometer to check the crank journal for out of round. A micrometer is a precision measuring instrument and requires a light touch for a correct reading ( meaning don't use it as a C clamp ). I just watched your video, you w...

The only stuff I wear that could get caught is shirt and watch Then remove the watch and make sure the shirt is tucked in and sleeves either rolled up or buttoned. Remember, a machine has no conscience or fellings. If you or any body parts...

Just gotta find a place to be able to shoot that far safely! :shock: What do you have for glass and do you reload? I do reload its a lot of fun too. Most of my rifles...

I was 14 once

It's good to see the younger generations having a strong interest in Cub Cadets and also for the mechanical aspect of it too.

I'm really liking the hydraulic lift Lew

The hydraulic lift makes lifting the snow thrower a breeze

I think I will get a 60 gallon with 5 hp but you need a 220 outlet :roll: I don't think I have one but Can I get one and make it work. Or do they have a big compressor with only 110 standard outlet If you have decent electric service out to the new building, 220VAC single phase will not be a proble...

I can make it an inch longer if you have the adjustment room.

Jeff the plate where the gearbox is mounted in tight and the castle nut with cotter pin is also there. it just seems that there is play on the adjuster t handle I have put a big cotter pin on that handle to prevent it from getting loose but it does not work the best. I just purchased LH all thread ...

Need an extra 1/2-13 LH nut?

I think you're supposed to loosen the bracket, make the adjustment and tighten everything down. Is corrosion keeping the bolts from getting the adjustment plate tight? Is the cotter pin on the bottom of the 1/2-13 LH castle nut in place?
