I'll take one!!

Most of the negitive comments about a Goat, that I have read, come from people that have no idea what they are talking about. They repeat things they hear from experts on Goats. Ever see one of those?? Like the guy that drove one in Viet Nam, but with little effort you'll find none went to SE...

That looks like a seat back cover to me..

They work well enough to supply the air needed and designed . The two stroke can't work with out something to supply air either a blower,(Gear driven) or a super charger, (exhaust gas driven.) The blowernever becomes parasitic, the faster the engine runs the more air it needs, the only place...

The DUKW tires are 12 ply and very heavy. Should make the Goat ride like a truck. LOL

Al, Here are a couple of pictures of the bearings on each end of the tractor rear diff. Don't mean to beat a dead horse but these were always overlooked when lube time came. If they stick at all the truck will list to one side or the other. If they are rusted stuck, like many are, They will not...

The TRACTOR rear diff or center diff Al. If it's prevented from rolling it will prevent the tractor from sitting level. Mine did the same thing, after replacing springs on the front and no change, I bought and consulted the manuals. Removed the diff cleaned and lubed, guess what it set level...

The tractor rear diff is designed to rotate in bearings on it's front and rear. Make sure it's free to do so. The bearings have a grease zerk for grease if it's not all rusted. jack it up and remove or disconnect both shocks. The whole diff and wheel assembly should rock. If it's solid then...

I wish it was supercharged. The Goat has a blower to supply air for ignition, thats all. Have talkked to guys that wanted to change the gearing for the blower to get a little more air for high altitude.

Check for dragging breaks. Unless they are adjusted by the book the least amount of drag will slow you down. You dont have much HP to start with. Shoes should not be touching the drum at all!!

Are you going to remove the "roll bar"?

Bridge plates were intended for and used mostly in Europe to protect from overloading bridges. Hence, the name....

Do the same for the air box drain.

Id add the Lucas if you've never done it before and always if you drain. The main thing is to insure it supplies the oil to those gears, and it's such a bear to get the dog house up just to check.

It depends on the condition of the pump. If it's new there is little clearence between the pump piston and the cylinder wall, if it is primed it will stay primed. If the pump has some run time on it and those clearences are a little larger you will lose the prime after a long sit, like winter...

If you add a pint of Lucas oil stabilizer to your transfer oil you'll never have to worry about loosing prime again. I did it on mine 20 years ago and it pumps every time. If and when you change oil just, add it again.

Where? Detroit doesn't know about them. (that's what they say anyway)

You may wish you had that cold start with the weather you get up there. I'm in Colorado and definitely need it in the cold winter.

I averaged 15mpg driving from Elizabeth, Colorado to Kansas City and back. 2000 National Convention..

It's only a dribble. The stock and diameter of the little piston can't pump much. The dribble drops down inside on the top of thr gear, this spreads as the gear turns.
