quote Richard A. White:

Tubs……That bench……dam that bench…lol

How can you work in such filth????

The top of my bench is covered with an offset
printing blanket. It can be best described as a heavy
canvas coated with rubber. Most solvents don’t bother
it. Really easy to keep clean, grips parts so they aren’t
sliding around, and a soft landing for anything that gets
dropped. Sometimes I do get behind in my cleaning and
as you can see, occasionally, I have allowed it to get into
this deplorable state.

A "Boat House Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

That is not what I meant and you know it..LOL

Looking great Tubs thanks for the links!

Out of curiousity, what are you going to do with your jugs and your crankcase? Are you painting them or??

[chris-p]

Also, the panels on top of tank, with starting instructions on them, do they easily come off with heat, or should I leave them on to polish the tank?

Looks like they are soldered on perhaps?

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

Those tanks were not polished but plated…yup more nickel plating, Well all the one that I felt were original….

You don’t like that bench? I would show you my bench – If I could find it. . . 🙄

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

Actually I am envious of that bench… I can get mine like that, ..as long as I do NO motor work….but once I start I usually have 3 in pieces at one time….

My power head seems to be in good condition so I have just cleaned it up and painted it.

I don’t have them on my motor (tank). My motor is a "C" and yours in a "J". and
I’m guessing that is why you have them and I don’t.

Correct, Model C S/O instructions were decals.

Thanks for responding.
I really didn’t know for sure.
