What have you done to your square lately??

[smurph20]

Looked at mine just sitting there unable to drive it till i get the rebuild kit for the carb and get the tanks replaced and the fuel lines reran.

What are you looking at getting? I've been eyeballing the compressors at Tractor Supply, I saw today they have an Ingersol Rand 80 gallon, 5 horse, two stage compressor for 1K.

I was looking at the IRs, but have heard some not so great things lately (motors burning up, cheap Chinese pumps now, supposedly).

I've been eyeing a 60 gallon Quincy 2-stage. It's pricey, but has good CFM, a great warranty (5 years if you use a start-up kit), and Quincy has great support, and it's 100% USA built. It's rated for 50,000 hours on the pump, and will probably last longer than I do.

Here's the model in question. It goes on sale for $1299 pretty frequently.

I wondered about that. Last I heard the IR was a quality unit, but the one in the store had a motor from Mexico and a pump from India.

Got my square inspected and the oil changed today. It passed with no problems! Such a good feeling. I was feeling the love so I gave the insides a good vacuuming as well as cleaning the windows and dressing up the tires. I also found myself in a perfect spot to aim the headlights that were so crooked. It is amazing how a little bit of time put into the truck can make it that more enjoyable. : )

Do yourself a favor and try to find a rebuild kit that is Ethanol safe. Never know when we may not have a choice anymore.

I hate wind noise in the cab, so I bought some generic weatherstripping from the parts store the other day. Installed it on the door front where the door meets the cab, its like a 2nd seal.

The difference is amazing, I recommend this to anyone. Much quieter now.

The stick-on foam tape stuff?

 

[Mattchu60]

Its not the stick on foam, but its pretty similar. Its a stick on rubber, on the shelf right next to the foam.

I almost used the stick on foam, but spent extra for the rubber. i was a little worried the foam wouldnt last and that air may blow right through it.
