General Discussion / Must be getting cold
« on: October 26, 2013, 09:43:28 am »
 I see some posts :D. Wish I had one more bay on my shop so I could set the R12 in there, love to play in the snow some this season. I need to take tracks off to grease all the bearings, replace tires and rebelt drive cogs. one bay has my mustang in it, the other I need for daily driver repair and such. Still might take the time to get it in the snow?

I'm taking my completely unrestored R12 to an antique show this weekend, was putting air in tires when I notice one wheel is rusted thru around rim. Looking for 1 or 2 used wheels.
BTW, looking to win most unusual in show this weekend ;D
Thanks
Jon

I have thread in the general discussion area, thought I'd start one in here. Got a 1952 R-12, came from New Brunswick, where my Mom in law has a camp on the Upsalquitch River. Great area BTW. Its been sitting a long time but was registered in 2004. Its been back yarded to keep it running, the guy who owned it had no money and lived 30 miles or so from the nearest parts store, so get it going the best you can. Anyway, I have it running but have some questions. I assumed there would be an access hole in the belly pan for changing the oil, don't see one, is it on the side?,  Do you vac the oil out? I doubt that.

Skis, took them off so I could put the tires on, looks like rotten wood under a flat plate and then the skag sits on the flat plate, anyone have a pic of what it looks like when correct. I have some red Oak I can use but what size is it?

I just ordered the windshield rubber as this one is held in by nothing at this point. Shavers is sending it to me UPS aong with a current price list of stuff they stock. I need to recover the front sprockets so I'm sure I'll be ordering some more stuff from Shavers.
