I think Anthony is confused on the pipe issue. Google NAMBA and read the rule book.

I too just found out about this sad news. I was in the hospital from Dec. 24th thru the 28th. I never had the pleasure of meeting Bob in person but exchanged a lot of information and pictures of the full size unlimited thru e-mail. I think the paint codes he was looking for were for me Don. My...

I'd like to buy some header gaskets for the Jensen S.S. header made for the .67 greenhead. Thanks, Glenn

hyperformance.com bought out Prather and still has their mufflers.

I'm back home and feeling better. Joint pains were just a symptom of some internal problems. Lot's of changes in lifestyle coming up. I do not want to spend another Christmas in the hospital with Gene(the bible thumping wacko).

I Just got it running- had no intrest in driving the "BEAST". Sorry if I twisted the original thread beyond sanity.

John, The old cable driven systems had a large clutch pack on the front of the cat to raise/lower the blade. They had rusted up and could not be freed up- Till I talked to a REAL old timer. A two Liter bottle of Coke ate the rust right off .

John, Don't know if you worked on The full size D-8's but they were somewhat unique. A ex gf in CA had a older model D-8 with cables not hydraulics. Made around 1948(like me). Batteries not included. There was a small "Pony Motor" on the left side that was hand cranked. Once the "Pony Motor"...

Hope you have a wonderful day Dick!!!

I'd Like to thank everyone for the Birthday wishes, Including those that came in the form of PM 0r email. I spent about half the day with my Sister. (the only family I have left). Sis noticed me hobbling around on my bad knees and pretty much insisted on my having knee joint replacement ASAP...

I realize this has been hashed over before but I would like to try too see if there is anything new out there that works well. I have one AB Quiet pipe and I'm starting to think the Muck pipes are now history. I noticed on the AA website that their 80-90 pipes work well on the 1/8 boats, Can...

Tim, I could use a 1 Ft. Length of the 3/4X 3/16 wall tube and another Octura collet for CMB.67 1/4" round please.

Roger, Tried to order one of the pipes, and a new collet last night but I do not think the transaction went thru. Let me know if there is any problems. Glenn Gates

And I did not even get a invitation.

I got tired of trying to jump thru all the "Hoops" online and just repaired the cowl myself with epoxy and a couple thin layers of glass cloth on the inside. The crack was stop drilled and filled with the epoxy. Barely noticeable. Just irritating It was sent the most expensive way known to man...

Mark that is exactly what I used the 43" model on. Boring and repairing the end bells on the large stationary generators that all branches of the service used. Quality control got involved when the workload transferred to UT and bores were air gauged at plus or minus .0002" The old machine was...

Garson would be my suggestion also. He usually has all the fittings needed and has pulled some fittings off his own boats to get me going. Very nice person!!!!!!!!!!!!

Used a 43" model before. VERY rigid and accurate. And yes, enough HP to move material in a hurry.

Mark, What you are suggesting could be dangerous. If it is the fiber discs you are talking about. To much heat and they could explode. The slitting saw blades and arbors that have a key in them to keep them from spinning would be a much better choice. Keep the RPM and feed rate LOW and use a lot...

Thanks a bunch Robin, I'll send address in a PM. Glenn
