    Deuce tractor with bed on it

    Deuce brakes

    So, I have been having trouble with my airpack recently and since I have a new one in the parts bin, it was time to swap it out. In getting ready to swap it, I drained all the brake fluid I could. While doing that I noticed the master cyl was leaking ALOT of fluid from places it shouldn't. SO it...

    Doc attended the Ky Motor Speedway truck race and got recruited to display at the local Harley dealership for their end of summer event. Doc was nice enough to get me involved.

    1a08 8cuin motor

Once pressure gets up around 100 it wants to die. Some pieces are missing off the carb. I saw Stayrn has a carb for $40 ish bucks, but I...

    Power hacksaw

    There isn't a section for tools, so I posted here. I picked up a power hacksaw and need help setting up the feed portion. It is supposed to limit the down pressure on the blade on the cut stroke, and lift the blade on the forward stroke. It doesn't work quite right, right now. Anyone?

    oil mixed with water

    So while working on filtering fuel today, I got hit out of nowhere with a downpour. In the haste to put everything under cover, I missed a drain pan with some oil in it. Whats the best way to clean this crap up? If I heat it will the water boil off? I have no problem burning the oil in a fire...

    Pist!

    So while helping a buddy today, I shattered part of the housing of the rear winch on my wrecker. I was too pist to look at it tonight, but I think it might be the brake band housing. I hope that is seperate from the rest of the housing and I will not have to get a whole new one. Pics tomorrow. SUCK!

    antenna ID

    I was given this antenna by one of Shelley's best friend's father. Anyone know what it goes to? I believe there is 8 three foot sections. Would I be able to use it with a C.B.? Would that be a waste? Thanks for any info.
