    Hubcaps going AWOL

    Yes, those hubcaps were known for popping off. Years ago i lost a few caps and finally I brazed a threaded rod to the dust cover on the wheels and drilled a 1/4 inch hole through the center of the hubcaps. A small 1/4” acorn nut held the hubcap in place. Emery Stora > >  > Hi all, > > On...

    Speedometer Gear Reducer Adapter

    You are correct. Set things by the odometer. I used my gps rather than a mile marker. I have found that mile marked often are off by .2 miles. After setting it I checked it by mile markers 100 miles apart. It was within 0.1 miles. Once you have the gps for ten miles record the odometer reading...

    My "Buzz Box" is buzzing, no power reaching the house battery

    Jared Turn the breaker off and then on to reset it. Then, with the Onan running, Check the voltage from each side of the breaker to ground. If you have Voltage on only one side then replace the breaker. If you have no voltage then the problem is in the Onan. Probably the bridge rectifier. Fairly...
