Maybe post a pic or two as you proceed. I'd be interested in where you bought the bearings and the number. I have not replaced mine yet.
lyon - one other thought/question. I presume you previously found the manuals online right? I downloaded them from one of the threads on this forum. If you don'thave them, let me know and I'll...
If anyone out there has looked for and found the rubber grommets around the headlamps for a KID, I would love to know the part number or where to find some.
I had the tracks on it when I brought it home. The problem is since it turns by running each side at different speed or by counter rotation, the is a lot of horizontal sliding. It tended to gouge...
Engine parts are easy to come by. The Wisconsin engines are now owned by Continental. Pittauto has everything you need. I had also bought some gaskets from a guy on ebay who was good. The ebay...
I took my tracks off so I could use the KID to plow the driveway without destroying the blacktop. I have about 300+ feet of 17% grade driveway here in NH. I've thought about adding rubber blocks to...
I've done some parts research for my KID, and have been trying to keep notes. What would be nice is to start to build a spreadsheet with everyone's information. Is there anything in particular you...
pengor penguin - Those of us who own Kids are kind of fond with their engineering/construction. Unlike many commercial machines, these mil spec units are quite beefy. I don't want to challenge your...
I agree with John - the KID looks awesome, a really nice job. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the part number on the steering cable. I'll check it out!
I'd be curious if any KID owner out there has changed the push-pull cables for the steering mechanism, and if so if you have any advise on where to go. I have a few leads from just googling around,...
I have not been on the site for the better part of a year and seem to have been missing out. The rebuild looks awesome! I've made little progress on the KID this year but am restarting to work the...
Master Mudder,
I bought a KID last fall and have replaced some parts, upgraded the ignition to be electrical, found all the filters, been replacing chains etc. What do you need to work on, I'll let...
Mark,
I was wondering if you could elaborate on what happened. How were you using the KID at the time? Were you lugging down the engine, flying down a straight away, or just driving it easy? Any...
s winkler,
One other thought. I learned from a mechanic friend that PB Blaster will absorb and hold moisture. I had used it on some parts when I first got the KID and was amazed that water beaded...
s winkler04,
Thanks for asking! We had about 2' of snow and the KID did well. I was able to clear the driveway without too much trouble, but had to watch to keep the RPMs above 2000 or it would...
Spent a number of hours replacing chain, greasing axels etc in prep for plowing tomorrow. We got slammed up here in NH, and this will be a big test for the KID. I have a 310 foot driveway with a...
Good info, now I am really sorry I didn't totally pull apart the jackstand when I had the one out. It was an absolute bear to remount it when the body halves were together. Now more than ever I...
Mark, Don't see the photos with your post. Am I missing something obvious?
OK Mark, I'll take a look, but probably won't do it for a bit - it is snow season and I want to keep it plow ready. I plowed today, then replaced the gas lines, filter and pump. Looking forward to...
