Happy birthday Ron, a true legend, at least in my mind!! Many more!

Mine are at b&f napa in plymouth Michigan. Not close to you but if all else fails.

I have a 50 mercury overdrive with linkage and spare parts if you need one.

I think I got it this time? Here arethe heads, script sharp heads, no other identification. I was told when I spoke to thefolksat Wilcap its not uncommon to find early speed equipment without identification. Also is a picture of the intake and the generator mount. I was wondering if...

Seems I am havingsome issues uploading the photos - Ill try again later.

Here is a couple of Picts of the heads.

If you can rebuild an engine, you can rebuild a banjo. Just takes a little time. These rear ends were build many years ago, many of us have better tools and gauges for checking back lash etc. than they had back on the day. I personally would like to see a better axle, just to make me feel better.

First off let me thank everyone on this site for sharing their knowledge on the various questions that are asked! Here are questions for the flathead guys: 1. Is there a trick to getting the stuck oil pump out? And the idler gear? 2. Is stroking a stock mercury crank 1/8 acceptable? Thanks...

Seems I have a banjo rear end with mixed parts. The housing seems to be 37 or later as is has the big bearing races in the bells, and the pinion nose bearing is the later style. He is where I need help, the carrier seems to be the 32 to 36 style with the smaller bearings. 1. Can I use the later...

Looking for 8 good rods, 21a or 91a, thanksMzaejlr@att.net
