    Rubber Isolators & CVT's

    My work on the Tri-Rod has stalled because, you know, life, but, in the meantime, I've acquired an Alsport UT-10 utility truck in need of an engine. On both machines I've been toying around with the idea of rubber isolators beneath the engine to help dampen the vibration. My question is will the...

    Manco Thunderbird

    Bought this for the wife because she wanted to learn (I'm cool with that). Does what it's supposed to do but is now powered by a Predator engine. I like to have IPL's and manuals for my toys and this one is no different. The only one I can find is for a 593-00, but this one looks a little...

    So...What Did I Buy (Get Myself Into)? - BGW TriRod

    Sold a used mower for $200 a couple weeks ago and, apparently, didn't see a reason to hang onto the money. :rolleyes: Anyway, saw this thing come up for sale and decided to add it to my collection of projects (three hovercraft, two 6x6). I bought it as the sun was fading (why?!?) and got a good...
