    Anyone know how to change the drive belt? I cant get the old belt to fit between the secondary pulley and the frame.

    I got a new gas cap for my Attex chief 400. It is a stock 1969 ford falcon gas cap and it works great.

    You will have to let me know how that works.

    If you are looking to seal between the outer axle bearing flanges and tub, you can use silicone. I'm sure cork gaskets are available somewhere....maybe a farm store/dealership, but the silicone is fast, cheap, and it works.

    Anybody know where I can order the outer axle gaskets from? they look like a standard flush mount bearing flange gasket but i can't find them anywhere.

I make a really thin goo and use it like fiberglass resin. soften up the base material by laying an acetone soaked rag on it, remove the rag and brush on some goo, then add layers of fiberglass cloth and more goo. goo will keep well in the can with a tight lid. if you need to thin it add acetone, if you need it thicker just leave the lid off and let some acetone evaporate off

    I seen that G/flex and was wondering if it was any good?
    The epoxy holds up very well, just remember to follow all mfgr recomendations on prep. Clean, scratch, alcohol clean and flame treat prior to application and it will adhere well. Every material has it's limits on flexing and something caused the cracks/holes to begin with so reinforce as needed. The beauty of epoxy is 2 dissimilar materials can be adhered together. You could use sheet aluminum or HDPE as patch material.
