I retired in 2008 as a crop duster. I flew 150hp Pawnee to 1200hp Thrush and most everything in between. About half my 21,000 hours in AgCat.

taildrager, Are you a pilot? Your screen name indicates you might be.

I didn’t pay enough attention to your location. When I saw your location ended with…[Read more]

Yes interested if it looks like this. It doesn’t have to have the trip miles function. Mine is 3.25″ dia. measured from outside of chrome ring. How much including shipping to 76664? I don’t need to see photo.L.D.

Dumb me, I forgot all about the reservoir is several inches higher. Thanks

Ahhh thanks, Yesterday I decided to take a brake from electrical and start on complete brake job including lines and hoses. Won’t get back to electrical until I finish brakes which will be a few weeks. At that time I’ll get back on electrical. I have other gremlins there also. Sure would be nice to have a schematic. If anyone has or knows where I…[Read more]

I didn’t check voltage at alt. B+ to ground, only checked across + and – on battery posts and observed volt meter in dash, both read same.

Shouldn’t I be getting 14+/- volts at battery with engine running say 1500 rpm and above? Volt meter in dash and multimeter across battery neither show more volts than battery volts even with battery low enough to barely start engine. I have never driven this car except around back yard. I don’t see how it could possible charge the battery with my…[Read more]

Continuity between B+ and case. Case is the alt. it’s self, the outside of it which would be ground. I should have said between B+ and ground. I see how I confused you, sorry.

All alternators I have saw will put out more volts than battery voltage. I can turn lights on and everything electrical on and battery voltage will go down, it should not, alt should kick in to keep it up.

Thanks for RE: and offer.I just put a used peddle group in car. Old one was out when I got car so I don’t know their position in relation to the ?firewall? My peddles are leaning back quite a bit. On a stock VW they are approx. straight up and down. If I move these to streight up and down they are very close to the wall and wouldn’t be enough…[Read more]

Paul, I’m having trouble finding them. I only find 4. I decided to read old posts of them and maybe some of my questions would be answered. Tried and I get error message of can’t find. Could you help me read old posts by them. If I can’t do that then I’ll PM. Can I PM them all at once by putting all their names in the to field? You know kinda like…[Read more]

If they have a vin on body where is it? Looks like I can’t insert image because I haven’t been member long enough

I’ll get some photos later and post.Where is the vin? I have never fooled with vw’s but other old cars had vin or serial # somewhere on frame in addition to body. If there is one on frame from when it was built as a vw, would they have used that #? If not would it be ground off or just dismissed?Leo
