    Hi Scott You gotta have room left for the piston and rod to move forward. It may be fully extended if the tracks, etc...are worn. You can look at the forward rails in front of the idler. On mine, I got about 2" of rail left that the idler can move forward. As far as removing the spring....it's...

    Hi Frank All I can tell you is that on mine, I had no cover....long since gone. One of the grease adjuster fittings was so rusted, it would not take grease due to the fitting being worn out and rusted out of shape. (I could hold the grease gun on hard and get some grease into it) I unscrewed...

    Hey Frank Those things can have lots of pressure on them. You should back it out about 1/2 turn and the pressure will release from the lower part of the special valve/fitting. If you break it off, it may fly out with great force. These grease fitting/valves can be ordered. I got mine from...

    Hi Frank I don't have all that stuff on my antique one. Why not just use a meter to find out ? Pretty well gotta be 24 V if that's what the available power is. Good luck Pete

    Hi WD I reckon you are talking about the plug in the middle of the guide plate (one per idler roller). I can't recall any bolts on top of the guide plates. Nope....never messed with the cutting edge...it's sharp. Me and the welder brother did cut a hunk out of the rod in the top center of...

    It has 4 bolts holding the plates on each side. (4 bolts each plate) The shims are behind the plates on each side. I tightened mine up by removing shims. I got to thinking about it and realized that the rail was worn some and I had tightened up the plates to a worn area of the rails. I had 'em...
