BTW.. a buddy of mine (who sadly passed away last year) used to have the same ATC110 i did. He was a year older than me & would lead all the rides back then, exploring new spots. This was a pic i snagged from his moms FB, she is on his ATC way back then.

You could be right about that, those 3 wheeler pics are great! Today we had the Fall Colours Ride so i was on a different bike altogether,😆

FOUND EM!!! These are from back in the day!! Had sooo much fun! These r great memories!!!

I dont see any pic forum, so figured i'd start this one in Gen Chat 😄 Yesterday just enjoying whats left of the summer 😆😢

I replaced the bushing, had to re grease the n xt weekend (not enough grease), done it that next weekend (weekend before last) and it done great, then last weekend it's hard steering, this weekend I got it apart to figure out why. Does grease get dry if open on a shelf? I used john deere grease for our loaders. Slathered the crap out of it. Here are photos. My question is there a better grease that will stay sticky but fluid when compressed by the cap? IDC how much it is for good grease. I'm confused as to why after a week it got hard to turn.

PROV, 1 month ago I have a New King No. 36 I found at an old logging camp. Wondering the age? Look what I found , I thought I was going to find out for you ^^^^ LOL

I found this old stove at a very old logging camp site. Found it disassembled laying in the grass. Missing legs, the top insert and the draft pan. Really cool looking. Took 6 years to have a good enough freeze without a ton of snow to get it out. Assembled it this summer. Besides the design the only marking on it is New King No. 36. Can't find anyone who knows anything about the company that made it.

A few photos of the chipper during an annual maintenance! I changed the oil, it has 2x sump bolts and 2x oil dip sticks for some reason, but it's very handy when checking the oil level when you are topping it up. I grease both bearings/both sides of the drum shaft every 4 hours of use with marine grease, so it should last a good while!

LSU's new quarterback didn't impress me much , but I am willing to give him another shot to get his bearings , quite a few of his passes were dropped that should have been caught ----- the game was not as close as the score reflected to me , Mississippi State ran and passed all over them -------- had a good time , ate well and there is always next week

Dealing with big bolts on equipment , I have seen the practice of lubricating threads go both ways when it comes to torquing , some charts will show torque valves with oil and without oil , not a big difference , but a different valve , most of the time , threads are to be lubed before torquing ----on my 4 wheelers I don't lube the threads or use a torque wrench , I do apply Lock-Tite to stud where the wheel spacers go , but not where the rims bolt up

I know it isn't capable of 4 inches, I have put 3 inch through it in the past but it struggled a bit and I don't like seeing a machine struggle. I'll be cleaning a load of my equipment later today so I'll get a few more snaps for you. It's one of the best machines I have.

@Goober I've used it on many applications .... if the nuts came off all the way hard, then yes a slight brush .. of anti seize wouldn't hurt, if they came easy after breaking loose ... i wouldn't worry about it.

Was it the grease used or the reassembly that caused the problem? seriously, i went to buy some good moly grease and a little disappointed that I couldn’t find it at the Honda shop—they used to sell it. Anyway I’ll do some more research and prolly end up at the John Deere shop. like Wilson i buy BelRay products cuz that’s what all the race guys used

Honestly don't know if this is good or bad but I always clean with a towel and some WD. My thought is to prevent corrosion and getting the nut to sufficient torque does the work of holding things together. Never had one fall off (or had a customer report their wheel coming loose) and WD can help with some light rust.

Does anyone put any lubrication or antiseize on the wheel studs? the service manual doesn’t say, but I’ve heard people say”don’t do it.” While I can see it might affect the applied torque.

lol .... i like that.... so now you know it will do 4 inches ... plus got the price dropped and a backup set ... NICE! score! ....with it doing that brush pile in an hour ... (i agree with flipping the blades every so often) you should real good service from those blades ... can you post pics of the drum / rotor, and blades ... i need some ideas before i pick one out...

@Goober [auote]Well the tire that’s plugged is losing air and the tire that was flat has cuts in the sidewall. They all look pretty worn whattaya outlaws think?[/quote] with three holding air ... and they still look to have fair tread .... I'd ask the owner if he would like them as a spairs ... or maybe just shelf them.... i have a side wall cut on my 97 right rear carlisle tire ... and green slime solved that issue .. being its used on the farm .... you can never tell when you can slice a tire open... to a point it can't be patched ... unless you have a familiar trail you ride frequently Imo, good choice on the Mud Lites

Not exactly firewood related, but then again we need a tool to sort out the brash left over from cutting down trees! Here's a short snippet of me using my modified chipper, its powered by a Loncin 5.5hp 200cc petrol engine (a Honda replica) but it's a super little machine for what it is. It won't chip anything bigger than about 2 inches, but it cleans up a pile of brash like the one photo'd in about 1 hour. For this particular job, there was side access to the rear garden but it was blocked by a shed, so due to its width at 24 inches, I was able to wheel it through the house! The mods: I added a swivel front axle for ease of movement. New emergency stop button to replace the crappy bar that came with it (it really was a pain in the arse!) Replaced the adjustable outfeed chute with a fixed square chute for better results of chips exiting the machine. This machine is ideal for me as the majority of work I do with it is in built up areas, where access is tight or restricted. It cost me €1500 with a spare set of reversible blades that I have yet to use, and I've done about 60 hours of chipping with it so far. You can see in pic 2, the brash chipped is all the stuff from pic 5!

I also thought that the vibration was noticeable enough for me to want something for it. I used the slip-on foam grips. (Being that you ride in mud... you are probably really familiar lol) These are good but overpriced IMO... a good example of what I'm talking about https://www.amazon.com/Grip-Puppy-Comfort-Grips-Original/dp/B00CP9ADD8

Awesome! That is going to be a fun one for sure! Don't get all excited and forget to take pictures lol I wanna see the build Edit: That looks like the exact engine that I used BTW. Tons of power We did change the gearing a bit... didn't care about top speed and wanted to do hills and wheelies lol

i don't know if he even qualifies for that status ... haha! .more like a mental defective ... with the IQ of .. oh I'd say about 10.... what i don't get is where all the money he uses to purchase these trucks atvs etc .. mod them, then destroy them .. just for a video... ... I've seen some ultra idiotic things in my time... but that little boy takes the cake .... i bet his last name is Biden ..... lol!

Nice looking cabin ! I see why the stove now , all that snow , you'll must be above the Arctic Circle !!! LOL

there those caps are again... lol ... i can't count on my fingers and toes how many times this simple fix has been overly complecated ... lol!

F250, grease both the inside and the outside diameters of the bushing and lightly grease the steering shaft as shadetree recommended. Then tighten the two strap bolts a little bit at a time... alternating from one bolt to the other until both are equally and evenly drawn down tight. Turn the handlebar back and forth as you alternate from one bolt to the other to minimize bunching. Doing it this way helps to insure that the bushing does not bunch up under the strap on one side while you are tightening the bolts.

yes, with out the upper bushing, and your welcome. :-) your welcome, and that upper clamp is not suppose have spacers.... just get some bel-ray grease ... it's water proof.. i use on all open lube points open to weather ... that looks to be a nice 300... don't rig it, do it right. (by the book!) and torq those upper bolts to 24 foot lbs .... my gut is telling me it's the lower bearing ... of maybe even even the upper, and lower ball joints ... all of these can add to hard steering if dryed out some ...

@F250 guy I've never had grease dry completely out ... I've seen a some types sepperate but johndeere grease should be fine, i use bel-ray myself ... and mystic ... both are great. did the steering get easy after you took the bushing back out ? i would raise the front end off the ground . and re check it with the bushing... the bottom steering shaft bearing might also be an issue.

anyone ever tried to wheelie an old school trx 350 tank ?

Getting one of the grandkids broke in.
