Re: (ET) Publications request



Some years back, I think I recall someone modified their steel tube front axle to use golf cart front spindles.  Does anyone remember or have a link?

Pieter,
 
Thanks so much for digging into your pubs for me.  Your spindle story in amazing.  So far I am still on my first set, heaviest jobs I use mine for so far are to load/unload manure and top soil for the garden, orchard and berry patch. Harold Z. told me he has never had a pair break on his- except a heavy-duty set! Any other experiences out there?

George (et al):

 

I looked to see if I could contribute to your library, but you already have the instructions for a AL-40 loader.  I too think it's a great toy - mine is on an E-15, and is used to load materials into ATV carts for trail work or for yard work around the house.

 

I note a couple of differences in the directions.  First, I have no mounting instructions (brackets to running boards.  In addition, the set you have has a warning (bottom of last page) that the user might consider reinforced spindles.  Good idea - I'm on the third set of originals.  The spindles were never meant for that kind of load, and I'd be surprised if snow blower owners didn't experience spindle problems from time-to-time.

 

In any case, my directions are at:   http://www.plitch.com/loader1.htm

 

By the way, I do travel in Iowa, and have snooped around Eagle Grove a few years ago (10?)to see if I could find any trace of the maker.  No luck.

Just got the first donation of publications I did not have for my web site! A fellow is sending me scans of three publications he had that I don't have either originals of nor scanned copies of- I've never seen them before, can't wait to see them and post them on the site! I was hoping fellow members could help fill in the blanks on the list.

Please take some time and compare your publications to the listing I have.  Now that there is a pretty near complete library on-line this should be good motivation for everyone to band together and try to finish off the list so we have a complete reference library for everyone to use. If you know someone who has a lot of publications please also contact them and see if they will check their stash as well.

If you find you have some but don't have a scanner let me know, I will work it out with you.

Thanks everyone!!!
