Sinking Creek 4WD Association

If you're looking to buy new also look at Hudson brand trailers http://www.hudsontrailers.com They are also built in NC and are a top quality, commercial grade trailer at a competitive price. The way you can tell if a trailer is well made is by jumping up and down on the front corner the trailer. I...

I appreciate the offer James. Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna put the belt on now to prevent future catastrophe. Maybe we can work somethin out though, if it wouldn't be too much a pain in the ass to swap the compressor. I'm sure we'd have to fuck with the freon, that could be fun. since its R134,...

Your 3.8L is the same block as the 4.3L. The later 3.8L are based on a Pontiac block, same as the 2.8L, 3.1L, 3.4L, and 4.1L. Terry, could you point me to this 4.1? I've never heard of a 60* 4.1. The only 4.1 i know of is the caddy motor (4.1/5/9), which i don't believe is in any way related to the...

I can't vouch for the 3.8s/ 2800s for oilless durability, but otherwise my series 1 has 223k on it and consumes no fluids to speak of, even after being overheated a few times (rad fans don't work). The 3800SC has quite a bit of low-end torque, and if more is needed, its a smaller pulley away. Of the...

Chuck, have you listed this on steel soldiers? the gas ones are semi desirable among that group because of their rarity.

any luck with this thing?

a test i've heard about is using starter fluid (or carb cleaner) to check for leaks. with the engine running, lightly spray any suspect lines. If the engine flares up at any point, there's a leak pulling in the spray.

vacuum leak? That would be my guess since engaging 4wd (and I assume the CAD vacuum) makes a difference.

in addition to the above: location?

that's a nice tractor. I'd like to replace our allis WD-45 with something like that.

Well, at least its a cheap fix.

any play in the shaft that the pitman arm connects to on the steering box? Is the mount to the body still solid? Any play in the column, especially at the joint just before entering the steering box. just throwing out guesses here...

88 model what?

Hey, I'll bring them and even bring back you SWR meter if you want it...

You can keep the SWR, I don't use it. Might not hurt to have it at the tech session though.

I'm certainly interested. I'll even show up for it! Oh and...bring links!
