Binders Books - GREAT WORK.
Look what arrived in the mail today, glad we stopped by at home for couple of days enroute, now I've got some reading if the weather turns sour (& the wife does not want to go sightseeing).

Graeme, good to see the forum sponsors come through! A big

to Binder Books. Just curious, how long did it take to arrive after you ordered it?

 

[gtatchell]

Kraig - about a week or so.

Wow, that's quick service.

Just before we get caught up with G'kids for a week or so,

Back end has been out & now back in. Drained (by tipping upside down) Hydro (oil was filthy black, as you thought p'raps Kentuck) & refilled 6 times before I was satisfied with clarity, each time turned it over with speed wrench on input shaft for several minutes (thought after could have used battery drill with socket attach). Fitted new Reservoir & Fan, & threw some shiny black paint on it. Also fitted new idler pulleys to drive.
Felt much sharper than before nudging back & forth in my garage, then today in my back yard with GPS (for speed, not location !!) measured 4.4 mph up slope, which I think compares OK with spec 5, since I did not have tacho on engine.

Looking good Graeme!
