Thanks, I got your IM. Measuring the remaining nut. And yes, I don't know what I was thinking losing my nut. Now I've lost my marbles AND half my nuts. Sad day.

What's the size and thread count for the engine where it's tapped for the oil filter canister bolt? Also, what kind of thread is it? I lost one of my Westfolk adapter nuts. I believe the filter side is 1"-12 but I'm not sure what the engine side is.

Yep, saw that, thanks. Cheap way might be the old standby: Used treadmill motor. They're usually in the 1.5 to 2.5 HP range, around 3400 rpm, and are 90VDC and reversible, which I guess would be handy if anything got clogged in the motor. It'd definitely have enough oomf to handle gear oil.

Wait, nevermind, he did give the speed. 2750 rpm. That means his pump was exerting about .76 ft-lbs

Ok, that motor on the one gimpy posted looked a little wimpy, but it seemed to do decent when both containers were roughly level with eachother. https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=10-2040&catname=electric Here's a single horse motor that turns at 3450 rpm. That's about 1.52 ft-lbs...

My one concern about that is, how rough would that be on the compressor? I know it's gear driven so it doesn't have an electric duty cycle... but still, I would think that kind of air would require it to run constantly. And I just don't know enough about deuce air compressors to know if that's...

What's an SBC oil pump? Junkyard engine oil pump? Eta: Ok, I think I get what you're saying. Basically just scavenge an old engine oil pump from a junkyard and couple it to an electric motor. This picture should tell you what I think of this idea: [thumbzup][thumbzup][thumbzup]

Sadly, it is not rotary. Back and forth operation, otherwise I would have tried that. Even so, this stuff is really sludgy.

I've got about 400 gallons of WMO another member gave me. Well today I finally got around to trying to transfer it to my holding tank with my hand diaphragm pump. That was rather optimistic. After about 5 or 10 minutes I had all the settled water pumped out and started on the oil... too...

Yep, or you could rig it up to charge a hellaciously deep battery bank. Give the motor something to do and give you plenty of run-time without the engine turning.

Running all that stuff, it won't be idling. It'd be way, way overkill, but it won't be idling. For all that little stuff, why not just get a portable propane genset?

mkcoen has a bunch of the complete reinforcement kits. Plate plus rivets.

That's it! Thanks man!

Actually, I think that was it. Thanks man. eta: Actually, no that's not it. hm...

I cannot for the life of me find it. Someone posted a thread that had a nice table with all the various filters that would work with Westfolk's spinon oil filter adapter. With specs and whether or not it was drainback. Got a link? I bought the kit a while back and am now looking for filters...

Um... that's kind of a meaningless statement considering there's a million different AK types out there made by a million different manufacturers... and ditto for the AR. A modern AR made by a reputable mfger? I'd absolutely test it against an old soviet-bloc AK for reliability. Heck, my...

I guess. Personally, I just don't drive my deuce if it's raining. Power steering and the nicer radial tires are the two big advantages to an A3 over the A2, imo. If you don't care about MF capability, then the more powerful (and probably more durable) Cat engine is also an obvious plus.

A2s have a higher top speed. A3s have greater available power. A2s CAN have electric wipers. Most have the original air-powered wipers. Which suck. A3s have power steering. A2s do not. Or maybe air-assist steering (upgrade). The A3s come with singled out radials. Usually Michelin XLs. The...

Yep. There's safety conscious and then there's being too afraid to walk across the street without a reflective vest. With a couple of safety chains, I don't see what the issue would be other than the angle. And even then, not much of a problem so long as they keep it on paved road. I'd post...

lol, I have the legs and the browning but no ring!
