Oil Filters From Terry Reamer

[bob in CT]

Speaking of oil filters is anyone stocking up on motor oil? I'm sure were going to take a hit on motor oil prices soon too. I been buying the mobil delvac 15/40 for my cubs by the gallon. If the oil prices get that bad it may pay off to buy 55 gallon drums of motor oil.

You better get a tougher rotweiler than that creampuff you have if you are going to have something as valuable as a 55 gallon drum of motor oil stored at the BB Manor.

Pete, About your fire. The clips on the bottom of the tank can be covered with a product from Rustoleum. It is rubbery and made to dip tool handles and coat them. You can get it at the hardware store. It comes in a spray or a can you can take the cover off and dip stuff right into. When I had my tank off I put it across a couple saw horses. Instead of using the tall can I filled a cup and raised it up over the hook. I cleaned the hook to bare metal first. I let it dry good and did several coats. I think it worked good. I havn't use the tractor much so I don't really know how it will hold up in this applicatin. I would say it's worth a shot. It comes in different colors to.

I used something similar to dip some parts for my Tiger when I restored it in the 80's. It worked well and it is still going strong. I plan to find some red material for exactly the same clips that were soda-blasted along with the tank on my 77.

Bob, I am pretty sure the Rustoleum stuff comes in Red, Black and maybe a Green. I am almost positive I used the Black.

This is what I used years ago and it is available in different colors. I imagine the difference between the 2 materials is the marketing program... here is the where to buy link:

I'm glad you reminded me as I need to pick some up. Probably better to buy locally as it looks like it is a hazardous shipment that they may charge a premium for.

Thanks guys for the tips on the coating. I will get some, very pronto. For the time being, the cub is all rewired from back to front with the only old wire left being the 2/0 battery cable which wasn't hurt. All the wires now are enclosed in the wire conduit, the flexible ribbed one, split so you can get your wires in. It really made a neat job, with hardly any wires showing. I will find and get the coatings, rest assured. Also looked today for battery quick disconnects, but did not find anything that I thought was suitable. What do you guys use, that will be the next safety feature to be installed. Pete

When I get a new Cub in the shop , I assume that it is not going to charge anytime soon and with all of the other stuff to do with them, the first thing I install is my temporary ground cable with a cut-off.


Tip: Make a ground cable with a cutoff to keep for testing purposes. I leave mine on until I'm sure things are good. After that it is back to the original set-up for my Cubs.

THe one I bought is from Walmart and looks like the one here.

Dan, my battery cables have the soldered on ends already. I saw these at Wal-mart but couldn't figure how I could use it in a permanent set-up. Maybe you can explain for me???????????? Pete

Check here.

Is this one the right one on that site
Part Number: 1153
The newbee just wants to do it right the first time.

[pete1941]

Grunt, and all others that are interested in the filter numbers, 1153 is the correct number for our filters for the Cubs.

You can't beat the service from Terry Reamer, ordered 6 filters Friday around lunch time, and yesterday, Monday, the postal lady drove up the driveway with the filters. Now that is what I call service with a capital S. Thanks Terry for your prompt service, unbelieveable. Pete

Alright, here's my testimonial.

But it comes at great expense. If Terry wasn't a great guy I would never tell this one on myself.

After reading this post, I decided to order a dozen filters for the Cubs. Today, I got a small package, and my first thought was that it seemed too small for a dozen filters, so I carefully opened the outer box, and found 5 short white boxes inside.

Not large enough for an 1153, I said. So knowing I was going to need to return them, I carefully just opened one end of one small box, and sure enough, it looked like the top of a spin-on filter.

So I got on e-mail and sent Terry a note, figuring he would check into it tomorrow. Within 10 minutes I had a reply asking for some more info. So I responded, and Terry was back within 10 more minutes saying that my order would ship tomorrow, and he didin't know what this box was...

So to help Terry out, I opened it all up a bit further.

Great looking Gas Caps they're sending out now, aren't they????

Ordered them back in February, forgot all about them.

Told Terry to call off the dogs; man he was really on top of it though, much better than I was.....

Y'all give Terry a call sometime when you need filters, okay?
