D4 7u for sale

Hi Barry, nice looking machine. Do you still have the two magnetos? You can slather some grease on those rams to stop them further deteriorating

Only 1 magneto, the original; first time I was able to have it rebuilt. 2nd time I have the magneto, it is off the pony and has 3 broken teeth. Picture of the blade cylinder was "before" now it has grease to protect it.

Any bites yet Barry?

Thanks for asking Neil. You were the only one to ask from ACMOC. I put it on marketplace and someone came next day; then today while we were loading the D4, there was a call from someone from ACMOC. I don't know how to remove the listing or mark it SOLD.

Thanks Neil, "easy for you to say" 😊. When I click on "action" my choices are "reply, unsubscribe, or favorite". I don't see the edit button. You can see I am not very good at this; if you see it, please click "sold". Thanks

Oh, my apologies Barry, I assumed that edit was an available option. I will update it for you. Was the buyer local and what plans did he have for it? It's a nice looking unit and good undercarriage is a big deal

Thanks Neil. The buyer was in state, about 1 1/2 hours away, plans to fix it and has the perfect connection to a friend in a machine shop that can make a new bushing for the pony crankshaft. I couldn't do that, and it helped him that the pony was off and could go right to the shop.

Nice one Barry, I used a technique for the bearings that your buyer might be interested in if he wants to contact me. Basically, following someone else's recommendation, I machined the crankcase and crank to accept thrust washers, so that the original bearings no longer had to carry the axial load
