I know this has all been discussed previously in this forum so I don't really want to re-open the whole Lexan versus safety glass thing but, perhaps it would...
... Dan, Former "A" is set at 4 degrees, former "B" is set at 27 degrees. This info is in the manual. I don't have the manual in front of me, but it is at the...
... I under stand about the location of the formers, I am referring to the distance the foam is carried beyond the former A and shape the very end of the body....
Don't know if anyone is interested in this, but this is the best price I've seen so far for the engine with a radiator. It says the power rating is at 3400...
Thanks for the information. Do you know if they have the specified high-speed model rated at 23 hp and 3600 rpm? I believe the unit that the Surplus Center has...
The engine is listed as "21.9 HP @ 3400 RPM (net intermittent)" which is different from what I've seen listed anywhere else. Normally they are either 3200rpm...
... Dan, I noticed the difference in the angle of former "A" also. It appears to be more anywhere between 4-10 degrees. I plan on settling for 5 degrees. As...
Paul (or anyone else that has fabbed this part), who did you get to machine/make this part? Did you have the cylinder machined, then welded onto the plate? I...
I am in the process using a 3"O.D. x 1.5" I.D. steel tube. I am planning on turning down for the bearing and bushing races. You only need the one for the...
Thanks for the input. either way, I'll fashion my own plate. It was just that cylinder that I was wondering about. Sounds like your plan makes more sense. ...
You make a valid point. There are generally governors on the tractor models. The savings would be great! I visited Kubota's website and found that there is...
I did similar setup, had some thick-wall steel tube machined to proper dimensions for bushing, then welded it onto flat plate to make the RA-TA-Holder. It...
Yea, I'll go with the thick wall pipe machined down. When I weld it down to the plate, I can bolt the plate to the other plate to help keep it flat. Currently,...
Doug, I do know it's the industrial engine, but I don't know if there's a difference between this industrial engine and the engine used in the Charade. I am...
Doug, the model number corresponding to the 34 hp engine (labeled 954DT in the performance curves) is 58A447 - 0205. There can be other dash numbers...
Browsing through youtube and found a "video brochure" of the xr3. At the end of the video it showed an "ending credits" page with Riley's name and a website....
I don't know about that, but Mr.Riley told me that the XR3 will be going up North (I think Ohio) to a university. It will be researched for mass production...
Hm, that sounds suspiciously like he's vying for the Automotive X Prize. More power to him, I hope he wins it ;-) ... -- Tom Stangl * http://www.vfaq.net/ *...
... I have never heard of it before. This is a first for me. http://www.xr3motors.com I had the same result of it showing a sign in square. -- * * * * * Tom...
I don't know if this is related or not, but it looks like there's a 'video brochure' video out on youtube. Not sure what the video really 'implies'.....open...
This means that things like the half-shafts, axles, glass windshield, etc. should become a little cheaper. Also, since many brackets (and bushing holders) will...
