    My first yellow GT, rough 147

    IF you have an original carb, with original float- AND you are using regular unleaded gas...... you need to set the float (closed) height 1/64" LOWER than original spec. This is because the new fuels are not as DENSE as the old fuels these carbs were designed for. You need MORE modern fuel...

    Things that Kill my Cub time.

    This little guy hit me in the helmet at 75MPH on the interstate (coming home from a VTX Tech-meet in Ohio) . After a few seconds... I saw these feathers floating up behind my fairing... so I looked down, and there was this gold finch. Unfortunately... he didn't make it.

    New tires for 4x4, 1500 truck

    Another vote for the Firestone Destinations.... I have used them on all my Explorers (4) since 1999... Usually get about 60K per set. I rotate them with every oil change (5K).

    Spray Guns

    Mix ratios depend on brand and type of paint... Google the paint manufacturer and type of paint.... and you should find the mix ratio.

    1440 plastic hood and sides

    I had a '96 1430 with the plastic hood. It was an outdoor tractor - so was badly faded. I taped off the decals, removed the numbers (peeling/bad)... and watersanded it with 600G (on a DA), then handsanded with 1000G then finished with 1500. This was then buffed with a 9" wool pad and 3M #85...

    Greetings from central Pennsylvania!

    I've had this machine since 1996... in 2020, I did a "rebuild"... and then put her to work... The headlight panel is simply a piece of 20ga sheet metal with a couple large holes so the headlight housings fit flush. A couple screws and J-nuts for sheet metal... hold the housings just fine...

    Greetings from central Pennsylvania!

    I made a new headlight panel- to replace the original behind the grille. That way, I wasn't ruining an original part. I then mounted (2) LED Motorcycle driving lights... To say they "light up the neighborhood" is somewhat of an understatement....

    Bring it on...

    I have a pair of these LED headlights made for a motorcycle light bar. They are very bright and are "projector" type bulbs- so they really reach out there. I made a new headlight panel (my tractor originally did not have headlights) from some scrap 1/8" aluminum sheet, and just replaced the...

    CC 108 "Snow Blade" spring install.

    I did plow with the blade angled and straight... seemed to "cut" closer when straight. You misunderstand "snow" in North Carolina... this will all be gone by Tuesday when the temps get back to the 50's (60's 70's ...lol). I had the blade on all last winter.. and we never got anything more than...

    CC Specialties

    In high school... I walked out after a Basketball game to get in my car (1974 AMC Hornet). The door was locked (which I never did) so, I unlocked it with my key. Got behind the wheel.. and started the car... only to realize... this wasn't my car at all. Mine was a 4-speed, and this was an...

    CC 108 "Snow Blade" spring install.

    Well, the BIG NC snowstorm arrived around 6am this morning. We have about 3" on the ground... and it is now swapping between light snow and freezing rain. I have had this snow/dozer blade for about 10 years, and this is the first time I have ever used it. I had it mounted all last year after the...
