bit of time lapse here.
Kentuck/JimT- I could not find original type tyres here in Oz, & US suppliers would not ship with post 911 regs. They are Bridgestone 6-12 Farm Service LUG M.

Hey Guys. A question? Would I be able to put the PTO off a KT17 from a 782 on a 14 horse AQS (1450) engine?

 

[mgonitzke]

Scott N.-

I'm gonna say probably not. I believe the KT17 has a larger crankshaft diameter than the K321AQS. They physically look different, and the KT17 one will be for a 5/8 belt, whereas the K321's original clutch is meant for a 1/2" belt. Hypothetically, you could probably modify the mounting so it would fit and bush the crank up to the larger size, but I don't think that's real practical.

Ryan, I was looking at the 107 frame/tunnel that I have, it does have the access hole like Matt suggested however I forgot that the hydro release lever setup is also slightly different on a 1x7, so this tunnel won't work for you anyway.

Well, I tried searching. But found nothing... I could of swore that someone asked about putting an oil pump on a motor and a 12V electric pump might work.

I guess I dreamed it. oh well, back to the drawing board.

 

[bbrigham]

Nic there's no oil passages to pressurize on the single cylinders so it's a no go. Electric motors can go with no worning so I wouldn't think of tryin it on something as crutial as an lubrication system anyhow.

Charlie-
Don't forget the close-up of the windshield....

 

[jhooke]

Graeme, Nice job, looks super,
Charlie, What don't you have?

 

[jcrews]

Graeme
Nice job on the cub. I think you get extra points for the look of that engine. I really like the personalized decals,that's really cool.

 

[aschumacher]

Nic B. Were you thinking of a FUEL pump? I remember some time back there was a discussion about mechanical fuel pumps, but dont remember if it included changing over to electric.

I am looking for some guidance, please.
I have a 122. The seat cover and pad are shot. The pan is good.
I looked online and saw 2-piece covers (not sure if they include the pad). I went to a local upholstery shop and he said that the original cover was blow-molded and that there is no other way to get the compound curve so he would have to create a cover with a seam.
Are there NOS seat covers and pads or will I have to settle for a cover with a seam?
Since my pan is good, I don't want to have to buy a whole used seat (even if I can find one).
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Peter

(FYI - it's the white seat w the blue edging...not the black seats that I see on the parts lists)

Rather than reply to your email, I'll post it here so all can see it.
If anyone wants his email address or phone number, shoot me an email.
Here's some info on restoring your seat,

We're a small shop here in SE Michigan. We do specialty work for the Big 3. One of our guys is a GM retiree who formerly worked in their Show Car Prep section. Among his talents, custom upholstery. He did his first seat for an old Cub 125 of mine. When we have time and when we have seat carcasses on hand, he'll spend time on them.
As long as the fiberglass shell(s) are more-or-less intact, and the blue 'Trim Ring' is available, we can do a great job....!!! These components are exceedingly difficult to get.

Our production is very limited. Perhaps two seats in a month. I'm sending along a couple photos for you to view.
