  1. I've scrounged a 48" deck and a 19 hp cool old L head twin brigs to build a pull behind.
  2. I plan on it. You just have to not rub anything. Most things would be straight and easy, snatch blocks can hang 3 feet up or whatever you need. Change directions, gives so many options. Just down to where I can use the baby tractor to pull it on out. I am planning an easy change rear hitch. Just a 2" receiver. A hook, a ball really all I'll need. The splitter will come to the wood, the split will ride the trailer back to the fire shed. Getting excited, I want to put a battery in it bad. Hard to get out to the shop, but got the tank drained, and the petcock off so I can clean it out. Got a gallon or so of weed killer.
  3. Ginseng, Morrell mushrooms, ramps. Goodness everywhere
  4. What I cut has to be pulled off the mountain. So yeah a winch and a snatchblock.
  5. I will indeed. When I get to having a winch again. If dragging something I'd make sure to bight the log with a chain, won't hurt that sliding over rocks. I usually wrap a choker if it won't see rocks or gravel. The biggest thing to watch in my opinion is keeping the wrap tight. If it loose it pulls between the lays and can be a bi*** to get back out. Wow those are some serious tires.
  6. Thanks, it looked like it had been drug out of the woods when I got it. It ran but smoked worse than my wood stove with a load of coal. That was a trail toy and the winch was for getting unstuck, I was good at the getting stuck part. I don't remember it snagging much, but it didn't appreciate sliding over stuff, no wear strength like steel cable. Run ot through a snatch block and keep it off stuff and it wears well. Strong as the dickens. I don't remember the exact breaking point but it was in the tens of thousands. The body was a lucky score. Loved the Dynema! No recoil if it broke, light and flexible, it wouldn't bite your finger at the slightest chance.The main thing I found was you had to be careful reeling it in. If you didn't keep it tight and laying right it would burn it. Maybe not the right word but dick it up.
  7. A Porta Power does wonders too. There's one bent spot on this frame, one of the lower bolts for the front bumper things missing. So when somebody rammed a rock it bent. Its the bumper rather than the frame really, you can seenwhere it caves a little. Your buddy got lucky. Now the bolt centers are off. The lille bottle jack is sitting next to it to fix that. Works wonders indeed. Hydraulics ate great for moving stuff. I completely tore down my Bayou, sandblasted everything, primed and painted it. Rebuilt the top end so I didn't look like a fog machine. Put a fan on it from the junkyard. A horn just cause the motorcycle switch I got to control the fan had a horn button. I had access to a very nice selection of metric ss socket head hardware so swapped just about all the fasteners. Put a winch on it. Ran all that through individuale relays. Found a set of plastics on Ebay for $100.00 with free shipping. They screwed up their listing and didn't want to piss ebay off so they honored the deal. It was a 2wd but I surprised a lot of people with it. That was my first atv. Been thinking about moving the battery to where the storage box was. Some front weights a good idea. The hills here ain't molehills. You file the ends off for a bigger gap.
  8. I've no idea I've always had the silver stuff. I've worked with a lot of stainless fasteners over the years. A tip? Never ever use an impact on stainless hardware, instangall. But the goo makes break loose by hand.
  9. I was lead on a dentist office demo and refit. Got my pick of goodies. A nice set of Craftmade cabinets that I resold and an ultrasonic cleaner. It's big enough that I can fit an HD head in it, and it has 3 transducers. The thing rocks. I'll hose it with brake cleaner first though. Years ago I bought a Harbor Freight table top parts washer. Fill it up with diesel and it works pretty good. No amazingly enough it still had some gas in it. The tanks still half full.
  10. Kibble I'll have to get another pic of the plastics for you. They spent years rolling down a 1000' vertical drop mountainside. The youngsters working them thought it was funny. Yup Randy, one for work and one for play. I might even get three out of them. That'll leave one for parts. I got a nice surprise today. Just knew the enricher gizmo was going to fight. One good tug and it popped right out. Ready for the ultrasonic machine now, that thing is stanky.
  11. The first time I tried to change a set of atv tires would have made a good fail video. Breaking the bead kicked my butt. Beat on sprayed em, kicked em, cussed em, took em to work and tried to use the backhoe bucket. Gave up and took them to a shop and they broke em loose for me. I think they'd been on it since new. 10 or 15 years probably.
  12. Randy I'd have liked to see that train go by. Gman I'm not sure. It'll be used to tote firewood of the hills so maybe 4 wheel is the best idea. Make a wagon tounge, hunh. Good idea. It'll be a dumper either way. I've a engine hoist lift cylinder I think I can use.
  13. I tried to pull the tank to clean it out at first, nope, no way, no how. Take the motor out and it falls out. I've been kicking around the idea of a trail trailer for awhile. The front end might wind up chopped apart and transformed.
  14. Glad you found it. Since you know your way around check out the Sigma Six kit. I did a similar kit to a Mikuni on a Evo I had. Woke it right up. I also had stright shots on it so it breathed well. And an Andrew's EV-27 cam. This kit will be going on the one I'm building now, along with a 250S cam thanks to a trade with one of our cadre. Both cams are the same as to almost doubling the duration but same lift. I wantnto see it running first as is. https://www.6sigmajetkit.com/suzuki-lt-f-300-king-quad-jet-kit.html
  15. Seems to me that if that plunger is sticking it'd be running rich.
  16. Well the Quadrunner took longer to break down than I thought. It's in pieces and on the shelf. The King Quad is ready to go get a bath, pulled the front brake shoes so it rolls easy. I'm digging this old girl. No slop in the driveline. Pull and clean the carb and I'll see what happens.
  17. It's a cv type carb maybe check if the slide and its bore are smooth? Being vacuum operated it might be hanging up on the way back down. If the shifter uses a cable try and lube it?
  18. Here's a good read I just came across. https://www.webbikeworld.com/atv-carburetor-adjustment-cleaning-and-jetting/
  19. More than likely. Here's some good reading. https://www.webbikeworld.com/atv-carburetor-adjustment-cleaning-and-jetting/
