The Allen head bolt in purple is the one you want lubricated well . When I did my rigging , I got a l.h. threaded rod end and a stud that had l.h. and r.h. threads so I could adjust the shift lever height. A great improvement. I think I got this stuff from Midwest Controls ?

The bolt that acts as a pivot might be rusted in the bore of the shifter. The nut on the end is a locknut and the frame is threaded holding the shifter in place . Back off the nut a couple of turns and back off the bolt one revolution . If the shifter tries to move with the bolt it is rusted in place . Remove the bolt and lubricate everything and reinstall . Test it and see if it is better.

Develop a test procedure for everything . You will understand why after payiing for not needed parts . AKA , the education is nice but the tuition is killing me !

The Rolling stones ; GREAT , the thing tat made them so good was , their lousy playing and almost out of tune music . Mick's voice was pathetic. You think they were a garage band playing in front of their neighbors for the first time . Yes they got a little wholesome for a while but I thank the Rock n Roll gods they got back to where they should be . Get Yer Yaya's Out. MMMMMM. As it should be , loud and lousy ! On second thought , yeah I would pay $500 maybe $600 if they would come over but they would have to start playing about 3 in (I take tea at three) the afternoon !

I hate to sound OLD . I love the Stones but the price of tickets , I wouldn't pay that much to have them in my backyard and they better finish by 7 o'clock because I'm goin' to bed or until they sing Monkey Man !

Hmmm. Klaatu !

Please tell me how much (including shipping) to make the check , money order , etc. and who to pay and I will pay toll to the troll !

you're welcome

Whew , it was a long time ago . Joe Eish stopped me from buying a head gasket for my SE and sold me o-rings instead . 25 or so years ago.

Order plenty , they are not expensive. Is it #16 or #21 ? Whatever it is , they are difficult to dig out .My vision is blurry right now Thank you Docc for the technical support .

Well , the facts are the facts. Today's gasoline has the shelf life of a gallon of milk. You need to go and see why 6 emergency generators throughout the county would not start/run . Problem #1 a vendor put bio-diesel in all of them. Not his fault , it was during a "go green" phase of life. Problem #2 and the people "in charge" didn't think it was important to program them to start/run on a weekly basis to verify operation. I spent 40 man hours to find all this out . Lessons learned . Never use bio-diesel unless you are burning a dozer pile. People will tell you just enough to mislead/ make that just enough for you to make poor decisions . I am leaving out the bad part of the story because it smokes me too much to tell .

You run straight gasoline and Sta-Bil for alcohol free gasoline.

There are o-rings between the rocker arm assy. and the cylinder head that are hard , brittle and no longer doing what they are supposed to do . Look at a parts catalog and you will find them . Replace them and perform a valve adjustment while you are into it.

I can't get to the order page but I will take 6 of them !

The only fastener you are going to replace this with is another jam nut from M/G OR if you are a machinist and want to make one , you can go that route.

If it matters , what is the reason you are wanting to know about the different size pivot pins ?

Do you have a part #, @cash1000 ?

Remove the jam nut and measure the O.D. of the pivot and see what you get.

I got these #s with an old vernier caliper and a metric thread file . I hope I am good at this conversion stuff

These pivots in the red frame are smaller than the black frame pivots . 20mm x 1.0mm thread pitch I have a pivot for the red frame in stock and that is what I measured . 1.0mm thread pitch .

Go to a tool store or auto parts store and purchase a metric thread gauge . Measure your pivot and you will have it. You can remove the jam nut so you can get access to the threads.

Our hometown (Barlow) had a solar eclipse in 2017 and 2024 . It was in a pathway for both eclipses . This year's eclipse was spectacular v the one in 2017. I did remember where my Pink Floyd CD was and went back home , retrieved it and put in to play when the big show was taking place . Incredible as it seems , it was the first time hearing it w/o the influence of illegal substances .... hmmmm . The sky was DARK whereas the earlier eclipse turned everything hazy like someone was burning wheat fields . There were people ALL over the place around here from Oregon , Canada , etc. I thought The Beatles had reunited !

The aluminum flywheels cracking are not dissimilar to the stamped steel A.T. flywheels in vehicles. These are prone to cracking and bust the centers out.

What is the date again ?

Do use an eraser to clean the contacts of the bulb/lamp and the holder . Put a contact grease in the socket to keep this from happening again . My bike did the same thing !
