No, I don't have any info about the original Buda - sorry.

As for the fuel line... it's 5/16" ID which is larger than the 1/4" OD copper tubing it replaced. I'll see how things go, I don't think the HGs or OC3s have a fuel pump.

Hello all,

I just bought an A (originally a 1938 AD-2) with a 6 cylinder gas engine. It has a homemade(?), yet functional, hydraulic blade. It runs well but has a couple of small issues that I need to tidy up.

I've cleaned the gas tank and reworked the fuel lines, adding a new see-through fuel filter along the way. I don't see a mechanical fuel pump and was wondering if a small pump was advisable?
I'm using 5/16" hose but the brand new fuel sediment bowl / shutoff unit that I bought has a very small outlet (supply) hole.

I found this online: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191212148370   It says 3-6psi.
I don't mind if things are not strictly original so long as I'm not making irreversible changes.

What do you think?  Is there a need for it?  I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go along...

Thanks,
-Kim

Hello, I'm looking for a copy of back issue #22 of the Oliver Heritage magazine, I believe this is from DEC 2007.

I checked with the magazine itself but they have no more copies.

Thanks!

Yes - I'd be interested in the 3 point hitch...

Thanks, Kim

Is a couterweight truly the same weight as the entire vehicle? That doesn't seem to make sense with respect to the theory of counterweights (nor in practice given the size/location of the couterweights).
