Looks like fluid is leaking from behind the hub. I've got the tear down instructions for the reat of the rear end, but wonder how far into this I need to go to correct the leak. Accordig to drawings, it doesn't look like there are seals in that area. Only seal bearings? Anyone done one of these?

Boy, that thing looks like all it needs is a good cleaning and it's ready. Nice find.

Buening, your correct. The trans safety switch was already bypassed. The PTO was behind the panel. I've got an outdoor sand blaster/hopper I was going to try. If that doesn't work, might have to go find a blast co. Bmacd95b, I am now looking for a round fender 100 or 110. That will be my...

Well, haven't posted progress in the last 2 weeks. Been tearing into the motor to get it running. Put on new starter, solenoid, points, condensor, coil, and ignition. Come to find out I think the safety switches were the issue. She starts right up. Last night, continued with tear down...

Well, I bypassed the solenoid and I believe the starter is bad. Nothing. I'm going to just replace the solenoid, starter, coil, etc. I think you guys are right. I'm probably not going to do a narrow front on this one. I am also not going to use the stock rear body. Gonna come up with...

I'm still up in the air about the narrow front. I agree that with the stock rear body, it wouldn't look good, but was thinking about not even using it and making some new custom rear fender covers. We will see. Buening, you say to remove the positive cable from the solenoid, leaving it...

Well, got a little work done over the last few nights. Got the seat, body, tank, Thinking about doing a narrow front conversion. I know it will make it less work friendly, but will never use it again for work. Put a battery in, but still nothing. Jumped the solenoid and still no power...

Thanks for the wonderful information. We worked on it for a few hours last night. Got the body off and gas tank off. The tank was full of bad gas/water. Took a lot of pictures so might try and post some tonight. I had been searching for a service manual but only found the expensive original...

I would use neither and go with something like Prevost for my air system.

Thanks for the recomendations. I'll start the pics tonight and post as I go. I was trying to figure out how to get in a small lift of some sort to bring it up to a good working height. Currently its in my detached 32x32 garage I just built. I also need a compressor. Use to sell them, wish I...

Well, my yong son is facinated with tractors so I pulled the 1976 John Deere 210 out of the woods the other night with the intention of trying to restore it/turn it into a mini tractor. To preface, I have never restored a thing in my life, have no rebuild experience, but have tinkered with...

Not to get off track but you said you were restoring a 58 Apache? Got any pics. Need motivation. I've got my Grandfathers 58 Apache sitting at my house needing restoration.

Looks very similar to the one I was looking at. Seems to be a good bit more sturdy than the Craftsman and I liked the layout better. Here is a link to the one at NT. The thing is roughly 6' tall. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HMS-RD04056082/?rtype=10

Was just looking at the Homak 56" Pro at Nothern Tool. Anyone have any experience with these? After just coming from Sears to look at the Craftsman version, the Homak looks good. Extremly sturdy compared to Craftsman and a lot less $. Anyone got a Pro model and have comments? Thanks

Been searching on here what most people do for new construction garages and have a few questions. I'm thinking about not doing sheetrock on the ceiling and going with some type of metal roofing material. Currently have standard roof truss system... What type of insulation would be...

Got a 72" work bench and open storage below. Went and looked at the Craftsman 54" tool box today. Not bad but wanted to see what else was out there.

After reviewing pages of tool box threads, I am in need of even more information concerning tool box storage. To give some background, my wife and I built out house a few years ago. When I say we built it we actually tried to do most of the work. With exception to the drywall, plumbing and...

Good info. Thanks. I should have said the HD-9XW. I think the width is 116". Any idea on inside to inside?

I think I've figured out which lift I would like which is the HD-9SWX. It's a little wider so I might be able to use it to store a car and park under it. My question is Bendpak says it has an 88" lift height. Is this the actual height clearance under the supports/lift? I'd like to park my...

Makes sense. Any more info on the company who made the doors? Did the door company also supply the track system? Have always wanted to do something similar in my garage. My issue is one of the walls I would like to track has a window. Wish I hadn't done that. Thanks again for the info.
