New Tank Decals

Nancy bought me some new tank decals for Christmas, and I love the new look. I know that originally these would have had a factory emblem, but I am just not a fan of the look. I do like the later years, but since the factory mounts were cut off and at this time I am not feeling up to pulling the tanks and welding the mounts back on... I am going with a decal that I like. I think these are similar to the JD decals from the earlier 20's.

WLA Clutch Repair

I took the entire clutch apart, removed all the oil from everywhere, and then installed new seals, clutch disc, and new fingers. Everything seems to be adjusted enough to take it for a spin when it warms up outside, then I just need to put the primary cover back on when I am done.

WLA Clutch

The clutch was slipping a little again on the WLA the last time I took it for a ride, and it was still leaking from the transmission... a lot. I was pretty sure the culprit was the clutch push rod seal leaking into the primary case and covering the clutch with gear oil, and when I took it apart I found out I was right. I should buy a lottery ticket.
 I bought a new seal, the clutch hub socket and new clutch plates from Retrocycle. They were very nice, and gave me a tour of their shop when I wen to pick up the parts. Unfortunately I accidentally broke a hub finger, so they also had to get me one of those so that I can replace that and get my clutch back together. I need some warmer weather and motivation first.
