That'd be interesting to off road!

Is that one new enough to have that 4-link setup in the rear mighty? Or does it actually have leaves?

You know, I have been meaning to look.  I am not sure.     When I was going over it, I failed to focus on that.  I am thinking the 4 link style.

Yeah the newer ones (I'm not sure how new) have a parallel 4-link with coils and shock. Rides nice I bet, but apparently not much for hauling weight.

I think it is rated at 8000lbs

With the 4-link?

Hey allis, what kind of suspension would work best for my snapper front end?

I'm thinking a wishbone IFS like a quad would work good. Then you could do direct steering and stuff as well.

Direct steering was probably one of the worst things I ever did on an offroader. I hated it.

Yeah I can imagine the bumpsteer would be horrible, but for as long as you didn't do too much rocky stuff maybe it wouldn't be too bad?

Mostly mud planned for this build. So hopefully shouldn't be hitting any rocks lol

Rattlers ain't cool guys!

Never seen one over here, still aint a fan of any snake.

Anybody know if I can re glue magnets inside of a fly wheel? Around time I have had the mags come off on two engines that are the same make , and now on this 0ne I don't have a spare flywheel . Can I run it without any mags or will it be off balance?
Also removed the governor and cleaned put tons of wasp nests. I was planning on using this on the lawn boy for a racer but I might just use a 12 horse flatty

What does they taste like????

Wow all interesting stuff. I really don’t like snakes either but some are beneficial and there’s no reason for humans to fear them. That’s not the case with the rattler though.

@biggasmowers Maybe you could clean up that flywheel and epoxy so magnets back in the right place so you don’t have to worry about balancing. If I were in your shoes I would save that motor if it’s any good and just keep an eye out for a good flywheel.

We usually see some big black rat snakes around here. I almost caught one it was well over 6ft.
I have some sheds that are over 6ft long, I want to build a display case for them.


And on another note...


This garbage came home with me.

Cool grill.

Pretty rough shape though.

The underside of this thing is COVERED in flaky rust. Im not sure how good the frame really is.
But the grill, hood, and dash look serviceable.

Engine is locked up with no carb.


...more junk to the collection.... hehehehe....

My dog got bit by a rattler once, got him to the vet and he's alright! Vet said if we hadn't given him a rattlesnake vaccine (shot) he wouldn't have. Very vital out here#

Nice Beal! Looks just like Stretch's Silver Bullet. What are that plans for it exactly?

@AllisKidD21 He doesn't have plans for it lol. Nice junk find though. Looks like there's a good part on it here and there.

1. Can you glue them back in, Yes.  Each magnet has a different polarity so they have to alternate.  If you have not removed them from the stator, mark them in order.  I bet they are still in the correct order.  Clean the magnet and the flywheel.  You can JBWeld them back in.  Let sit overnight and you will be good.  I've done this 2 times now on my Briggs.



2.  Can you run without them?  Yeah, but your battery will go dead as this is the alternator.

Crap.... one of my magnets is broken ........ I might just run it without until I get a new one from a parts engine. Would running 4 instead of 6 mags work? It would make less voltage but could still charge the battery

On another note ........ all it needs is complete date and it's ready yo enter( still want to clean more rust off .

Nice Beal. Sponsored by bud light adds 10 extra HP

Made a rear rack for the new lt 4000, that hasn't been noticed in the build off entry thread..... it's strong enough for me to stand on at least since it doesn't look the greatest
