Bash Projects

[Barnyard]

Let us know what you need to get done at the Bash this year so we can make sure special tools are available if needed.

Speaking of tools, This is the fifth year for the Bash in the new shop. Every year I have said I was going to get my tools out of the mess in the tool box and it never happens. So this year I am finally closer to getting it done.

I'll be there this year, Barnyard. I have a rear main seal to do, and maybe some other "while we're at it" type stuff.

Really looking forward to it!

Clint, I'm glad you can make it this year. Someone on here asked if a rear seal how to could be made. This might be the time to do it.

See you soon.

Doing a TO bearing replacement & a 12V conversion. I think i have everything.

I need to replace a rear seal on my 184. I may just bring it along. I may also bring along the carburetor from my super MTA for a rebuild.

[Dale Finch]

Depending on what items I am Expressing, I may bring one of my '55 Cubs to get help with a grinding shifting situation. The reason might be a bad clutch, which could involve a split...a much easier job with help from you guys!

I am planning on being at the bash. I will help with the rear main fix, mine needs one too. See you at the end of the month.

[Dale Finch]

Sounds like a rear main seal assembly line will need to be set up!!!

One of my projects i would like to complete will require a 3/16" bushing driver. Does anyone have a set of bushing drivers they could bring to the bash? Thanks, Brian

[Bob McCarty]

Brian, is 3/16" the od of the bushing? I have some brass and steel rod that size (or 5/32), but not a specific driver that size.
Edit: By chance did you mean 1 3/16"?

[cubbrian]

3/16" is the OD. I know there is a tool that is machined at the end to fit inside a bushing and the shoulder is what drives the bushing in place. Haven't been able to find a set locally yet.

[Dale Finch]

I am bringing my cub with clutch issues. I have a used spare clutch if something is broken on the one on the tractor now, and if the grinding problem is due to the pilot bushing binding or bad, I have a new bushing as well. My question is, will anyone have a reamer for the pilot bushing that I can use?

[Bill Hudson]

I haven't put in a lot of those bushing, however, I have not had any binding problems using an old, short piece of a transmission input shaft. It works equally well as a clutch alignment tool.

Brian, I have a set of roll pin drivers that I'll bring along.

[cubbrian]

Great. Thanks Bob.
