Difficult the believe everyone came up with the same idea and available on market at same time, one supplier most like is…[Read more]

Hello,
Does anyone out there know if the Autolite distributors or housings were used in any other applications such as generators or 2 cylinder tractors? I’ve seen the caps on some old Onan generators and am wondering if the housings are interchangeable. Also, what is the Autolite number for the correct distributor? Thanks

I bought a frame a while back to give to my son to learn to rebuild. I was not sure what the frame was (and neither was th guy I bought it off of) but the more I look it over, the more I think it is a 40-53 Indian (I was told this because of the rear shocks). Can anyone help me out with further ID of the frame? It does have several numbers…[Read more]

With my Chief I decided to put in a King Clutch which is really pretty sweet. Though I must say just grooving your regular disks is almost as good.
My 741 which I’ve had since the 70’s I pretty much just got used to getting the revs just right and letting it slide into gear without grinding with just a click. This can also be helped by using…[Read more]

apart, take the bottom off. Buy new gears for

gaskets with two different thicknesses.…[Read more] - Load More
