What the heck is this part? I skimmed some dealer manuals real quick and couldn't find it. Thanks for any help.

I have a good 4 horse Briggs that came off a tiller. I am going to put it on my CAT 250X that I am piecing together. I plan to paint and detail it and add the 3HP stickers so that it looks "correct". It has the correct diameter shaft but it is a little short. I don't remember how much... I will...

Ok I'm doing a restoration on a bike and I am trying to refinish all the parts. I'm stuck on my brake plates and hubs. They look about identical to rupp but they are only 20 spoke hubs so I can't just buy those shiny new ones I find online. I'm down to refinishing them but not sure how to...

Anyone good with correcting photos on here that could maybe take a crack at trying to make an image I have a little better?? It is a Vintage mini bike photo/image BUT its a scan of a centerfold from an early 70's "mens" magazine (its nothing raunchy other than a naked lady posing with the bike)...

My Dad just purchased a wood furnace set up for forced air. The blower is there, but none of the wiring is there. Everything is hooked up now, and we can manually turn the blower on and all functions as it should. But now, how the heck do I set up a thermostat. I'm not totally stupid...

I know what it is, I was wondering if the experts here can decipher it. For the members I've already talked to about this and know what it is, please let the others have a crack at it first. :laugh:

Picked up a Moto Ski Ltee frame over the weekend and it's got a hell of a crack through about 75% of the frame tube. It's right where the engine plate was welded and I didn't notice it till I got home. My first thought was to get something inside the tube to support it then weld it back...

I have a '50s Valmobile suitcase scooter I am hesitantly thinking about parting with. These were designed in France and built in Japan as and affordable way to travel with transportation - no pun intended. This particular one spent most of it's life aboard a commercial aircraft and as such still...

Bought this the other day. My guess is a 60's Bird. Like I say leave it to the experts.Thanks for any input.

I picked up an original BikeBug ( bike engine ) that rides on the front wheel of a bicycle. It is in very good condition but has sat for a very long time. I took the carb apart and cleaned it as well as the three fuel lines,tank,etc. It seems a little low to me, but I'm not an expert on these...

I have an older MTD. I was looking closely at the front wheel and noticed that is sitting at a slight angle. When you take the wheel off, and look at the two spring arms, one is slightly lower than the other. How do you adjust the length or disassemble the fork to make the repair? There ate two...
