Is anyone interested in my 125 before I list it on ebay? I was hoping to sell it to someone on here since I know you guys would appreciate it. If you are the pics are in the for sale area or email me and I can send them to you..

Thanks

I could be wrong but I think more than a few IH parts were poured (molded) ,that made them poruse and needed a sealer to be used on rear ends> so the red cover of the axel and rear end have a hight content colour sealer. Just sand them if you must to smothen them out or not.prime, wash,paint.

KenTUCK - I must have missed the part on connecting the Governor spring. 1st I saw Gary's post was when he was attempting to install the engine mount bolts in a "cocked" position. Guess you must have been over the cable stuff then. I'm leaning towards drive shaft install problem now - but for the life of me I still haven't figured out if his engine is running about 34-3600 rpms at full throttle or he's just getting slightly above idle - questions, questions, questions,

HH - It might not have been Gary ... there was one more member with a slow running engine around about the same time but you know how Charlie's CRS spreads !

Back on 06/06 I asked if anyone knew what this seat came off of.

I thought it was from a farm store but one of you said it looked like it was a Massey seat. Today I slapped paint remover on the seat, then pressure washed it to clean it up. It had been repainted and I didn't know it but look what I uncovered.

Who's the big winner???
No prize but you can bragg about being correct!
I like the "for your comfort and health"
It is a comfortable seat!

Bob - I'd put that on that BIG auction site ...

Would I have to use a bonding agent in the new primer if I didn't sand the old? Would it be ok to wipe it down with solvent to make the existing paint/primer tacky. I want to make sure the new paint has a good bond. If this is ok what solvent should I use?
