NO Guzzi bike pics are boring. Or a Cobra Daytona Coupe! The end of your street could be 30 min outside of Indianapolis from the look of it.

wow. Just looking at my spares I'd say if the splines haven't sheared off on the flexible coupling disc #11 below, (not likely) then I'd say the paddles on the flexible coupling disc have sheared off #11 below (same piece) I don't see where else it could spin like that. otherwise it has to be a shaft key. (I am not familiar with this broken apart) can you break it down a bit more to have a look?

Perfect! yeah that 3800psi was tough to handle. I used it on a block wall basement for about 40 min and at the end I knew I'd have to sell it. It could totally be used as a weapon. Good job you rented. Now you know what size to get for any future projects. I need mine once or twice a year but when I do, it's great to have. You may be happy with the wood once it dries out. At any rate, now it's really prepped for paint or stain. I'm envious of warm and dry climates cause I love the look and feel of ...rustic -
when I did mine 3 years ago I ordered 2 because they are easy to fup duck. I still have the other one 'I think' what I found in my stash looks like it, but in a baggie with no number. It looks just like the one in the (MGC) photo it measures 26.30 od and 13.90 id (precision questionable) also, this pretty much has to be it cause I don't know what else it could be..? if this looks like it, I'll send it your way. I don't think a couple years on the shelf would hurt do you?

RIP Dale Walksler. A passion for American made motorcycles for sure, but an undeniable and likely unequaled dedication to the preservation of the history of the marque. I've been to Wheels Through Time several times over the years. (An easy ride from the cabins at the annual Southern Spine Raid too) I don't know what Guzzi has for a museum but I would be thrilled to see a collection even Half the size of this one dedicated to Moto Guzzi. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It is with heavy hearts that we at Wheels Through Time let you know that our beloved founder, curator, and friend Dale Walksler passed away peacefully, with his wife by his side, at home on February 3, 2021, after a courageous four year battle with cancer. In 1967 at the age of 15, Dale built his first motorcycle, sparking a life-long love affair with American Motorcycles and their history. At 22, Dale established a Harley/Davidson Franchise in Mt. Vernon, Ill: Daleās Harley-Davidson. His signal success as a dealer grew to include the decades-long work that would define his life: the creation of the museum we now know as Wheels Through Time. As the museum collection grew, so too did Daleās vision for the museum, his reputation, his mechanical and curatorial skills, and a goal of always exceeding expectations of customers and guests. In 2002 Dale opened the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC. From humble beginnings in a small Illinois town, one of the worldās premier collections of rare and vintage American motorcycles, automobiles, and memorabilia emerged. Wheels Through Time became an Iconic American Institution and known internationally. Those who have visited Wheels Through Time know that Daleās passion was not just something to be observed but rather experienced. Whether it was listening to his vast knowledge and stories of transportation history or watching him start a motorcycle, his was a passion that was infectious. It inspired in many, that same desire to preserve and celebrate American motorcycle history. His genius rested on the latter portion of the Wheels Through Time logo, āThe Museum That Runs.ā Dale was a man of vision, zeal, intensity, imagination, and generosity. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the staff at Wheels Through Time, and as well as by the countless tens of thousands who have visited the museum. Daleās vision was not just one of preserving the past but was also focused on the future. In that regard, he made great strides to ensure that the museum and his legacy would carry on for generations to come. A celebration of Daleās life will be announced at a later date. At this time, we ask for privacy for the family as they mourn his passing. At Daleās request, in lieu of flowers, please send any donations and condolences to Wheels Through Time, PO Box 790, Maggie Valley, NC 28751. All donations will be dedicated to ensuring the continuance of the legacy that Dale created far into the future and to giving museum visitors historical insight into the vital role that transportation has played in American history. The thrill of hearing the cycles run coupled with thoughts of riding into the wind will continue to evoke thoughts of Daleās vibrant spirit --- and his dream."-Wheels Through Time. https://wheelsthroughtime.com/?mc_cid=1b8743def3&mc_eid=c0a8951fb2 I recommend it to all enthusiasts.

Reviving an Old Garage

I bought this one https://www.lowes.com/pd/Greenworks-Pro-Greenworks-Gen2-2300-Pressure-Washer/1003196492 last year and find it does everything I need. Not too big not too small. I've used the med-wide tip to wash the house, and narrow for concrete and old wood fencing. The really wide tip is kind of useless. Bear in mind for serious cutting it will be a narrow swath, an inch or so, so it will use a lot of water. I wish sometimes it was bigger but I don't want gas powered and don't want to pay more, so..... I Had a $1k gas powered John Deere 3800psi in the past and it was a hand full to operate and had a LOT of maintenance, so I sold it to the neighbor and he sold it after he used it. It was great but not worth the effort as a "homeowner" level tool. It's tough to decide your needs till you've used one. -
I 'made' a 'tool' for that job out of a bolt with a head the size of the hole. Your next 'uuhg' might be finding a filter wrench to fit whatever filter is in there and small enough to go inside to grip. It's a pita till you get it right. I would recommend to anyone, first time... Remove the pan and get a feel for it. I did find a filter wrench at auto zone cheap.

I was attached to the 82nd at Bragg and packed personnel and air delivery chutes for all users. '69 - '71 I jumped an interesting array of aircraft. Fun times! Great work shops! -
