Re: Need 1984 Bronco II Carburetor Nuts

oops, I was gonna check one of those nuts today but I forgot and now its dark out, I'll try to remember tomorrow, I should have a tap and die to match so that will tell me the stud size and thread pitch.

Re: Need 1984 Bronco II Carburetor Nuts

Most hardware stores may not carry 12 point nuts but..... Could you not just count the number of threads in 1" and go to a nut/bolt specialty supply store?

Re: Picked up #6 today

Yes it is the auto... and I wont know if its good until I get a motor in front of it, I do have one spare auto but again I dont know if its good or not. If I have to I can swap it to a manual but I would prefer not to go that route if I can avoid it. The hope is for this to be the last daily driver ...

Re: What did you do with your Bronco II today?

So hows everyones new year goin so far? Lot of cold and snow around here lately but its above freezing again this week. The snow has encouraged me to put a plow on the gray '85. I picked up a Snowbear 6' plow awhile back for $100 but it was a bit rough so I spent the weekend repairing and fitting it...

Re: Snow plow on a B2???

Did you get the winch Tek? Thats the way to go as we get older. I need to put one on my horse trailer for pulling in garden tractors. Did you check the crankcase for water in the oil? I brought one home once that had about a liter of water in it just from sitting outside, luckily I found it before s...

Re: Snow plow on a B2???

Well the blade is still in the shed, we never got enough snow for one this winter, I never even had the John Deere garden tractor out with its blade, never used a snowblower either, I was riding the bike until late november and had it out again last week. So I guess it will be next winter before the...

Re: Happy New Year

Hi Tek, Happy New Year, not much exciting here, got an Explorer on the road now for the wife to drive, Im still drivin a B2 but havent done much work on any of them. Not much snow here this year so not using the winter toys much, not having to plow the drive either tho so thats nice.
