    Natural gas conversion - where to feed the gas

    Pictures of the 1964 Cub Loboy converted to propane . You can see the homemade orifice I made from a piece of rubber hose and inserted into the vapor feed line, the full 3/8 red rubber line would not even try to start the engine, the next orifice I cut was to small and would only idle , then...

    Caues of uneven tire wear?

    When the seal that divides the two sides fails there is no up side and down side, they connect and become one with a little restriction . Bypassing around the seal. The seals went bad in the Power Steering cylinder on my Jinma and you had to slowly keep turning the steering wheel to keep it...

    Loader curl leak down

    I had that same problem with my loader, it would go down just as fast as it went up and it was the seals. In my case it was just O Rings and shims and wiper seals at the cost of $15 for three cylinders. I think mine had been rebuilt with the wrong O Rings and were not ment to be in oil , who...
