60Patrol

Thank you riverpatrol. I might try to pull my old seals and see if I can take it into the parts place and see if they can measure and cross something. They are pretty good at stuff like that. If they cant come up with something then yes I am interested in the seals you have. Thank you on the link to...

So after the alternator and taking the right rear brake apart and re adjusting it as good as I could with the messed up adjuster. We took it for another ride around town. Went around the park and as I would make left turns I heard a bad creak sound. I was hoping it was just the springs but as I turn...

To fix the alternator. I fixed it like I do with all my vehicles…I put a GM 1 wire on. Someday I would like to put new bearings in the original alternator so I decided to leave all the factory wires for it intact and not to cut up the factory mount. Luckily it was a very easy install. I simply cut a...

On 5/26/26 we took it on its first drive since who knows when. It was last tagged in 2000. Since I had adjusted my right rear brake too loose. It pushed the piston out of the wheel cylinder on the first time I tried to stop. We just rode slowly around the neighborhood then back into the garage it we...

Ok I didn’t know that. This thing fits so well it might be factory.

Next I wanted to have some gauges on it so I didn’t damage the engine. The factory temp sender was gone and I didn’t know if the factory oil pressure unit worked so I went ahead and put this cheap chicom set of gauges on that my friend gave me. I was pleasantly surprised the factory alternator was w...

Back to the brakes. My left rear adjuster nut was broke off and it was stuck. I took it off. Welded the nut on. Then filled it with Thrust penetrating oil. Pulled the cone cap off and worked it back and forth and back and forth till it was easy enough to spin with my finger. I was scared of what was...

Someone in the past installed a Rochester carburetor. It looks to fit as good as factory and runs great. It leaked from the gasket so I got a rebuild kit. I just pulled the top off and found my kit was not the right one so I couldn’t replace the accelerator pump. But the original still worked. I cle...

The original temp gauge got stuck in the housing. My friend working on it got it out but the original threads were damaged. He retapped it to 3/8 pipe but the housing cracked. IMG_4839.jpeg I got my other friend to tig weld it. It cracked a second time when I tried to tap it so the second time he we...

Now onto the cooling system. I added a fitting with a ballvalve for the heater. The previous owner had a mess of waterpipe and hoses all together that might have worked but looked like a mess.
