Crank

Postby rdunstan » Mon Jan 17, 2005 7:48 pm

Don't know about the life of a roll pin versus a dowell pin in this application, but you're probably right about the dowell pin being better for a 50-year life. I can say I've have had no problems in the year or so I have used mine. However even it it fails it is pretty easy to replace the pin and as an added bonus a roll pin will stay put whereas a dowell pin requires more prescision in the hole diameter and should be heat shrunk in or knurled and pressed for best retention.

There are several listed on e-bay right now. You can almost always get one for under $25 there.

I just mentioned the dowel pin cause the crank I made about 5 years ago has been used extensively with no negative signs. I just used a 3/16 reamer and pressed the pin in (dowel is ground o'size for press fit). It's case hardened for better wear. I agree a roll pin would be easy to replace.....................

I bought the cub rebuild video by a guy named Dan and his wife. It's ok, I learned some stuff. If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to loan it out...

Just curious - What do you guy's keep in your parts washers? I was going to get a small one and keep it in the carport to do late night tinkering and didn't want the little lady to get upset with the smell. Would mineral spirits work pretty good and not evaporate very fast?

I think kerosene is mostly used around these parts. Or, you can call Safe-T-Kleen and buy there parts washer fluid.

Solvent for parts washer

Postby rdunstan » Fri Jan 21, 2005 4:22 pm

I bought a parts washer from Harbor Freight for ~$30 that specifically said not to use any petroleum based solvent. The pump was plastic. They sell some water based stuff for about $5 per gallon that seemed to work reasonably well.

I thought some washer pumps may have problems with gas, etc. I suppose I should check the specs first. Thanks...

Carb question: I read the sever stuff - real good info!! If I go to the IH dealer, can I just ask for a cub 3/4 updraft IH/OEM rebuild kit?
