    I bought a John Hann seat and arm rests ,from those guys a few years back for a D4 7U and they sent me a D2 seat which is a bit narrower and doesnt really fit properly ,as it keeps sliding forward under your legs , then its hard to change gears etc and then is weird to sit on to operate the machine . Its a nice seat ,pitty as I cannot send it back for exchange as Im in Australia , and it cost me and arm and a leg to buy etc . Should have had one made here locally maybe !!! Love your work guys and the videos !!! Cheers from Aus

    As always, great content, great presentation. I'm working on 7U10608 and need to ship the head for restoration (thanks for the reference to Antique Crawler Parts). Can you estimate the weight of the stripped-down head? Many thanks in advance.

    • @lifeafterourloss
      @lifeafterourloss วันที่ผ่านมา

      We are in the middle of head problems ourselves. A stripped down D4400 head is probably around 150-200lbs. (that's just my wild guess) A D315 head like in your 7U probably weighs another 25-50lb more. The D315 is a 4 1/2" inch bore as opposed to the 4 and 1/4" bore on a D4400. I hope that's close enough for you I've never actually weighed or shipped one.

    Good morning Aaron, first I wish to say that I hope you and all your family had a good Christmas. You have done an amazing job with those seats and my mum would of been very pleased with your wife's sowing. (My mum was a seamstress but sadly no longer with us) Can I please give you a bit of advice when folding the fabric onto the rear. Fold over the edge so you then staple through two thicknesses of material. This not only also stops it fraying but gives the staple more fixing strength. Start in the middle along one edge and working to each corner alternately from that centre staple. Then pull your fabric tight and start on the opposite edge. Repeat this on the final two ends and your cover will fit snug on the foam showing off your wife's amazing sowing. My mum taught me alot! Hope that you don't mine me giving you this tip. Take care to all and wishing you all the very best for the new year and keep up the brilliant work 👍 Anthony

    Ha there guys and the seamstress (Joelene) great job on the seats, look great, good enough for you big boys' bums LOL. Buster needs his pony. When I cut foam, I use a 12v battery and a wire in an adjustable jig, I just use some L brackets, timber and a screw to hold the wire, adjust your angle, connect the battery to opposing ends, the wire gets hot and push it through. Cheers Guys. Peter from Aus

    fantastic vid! my pony just locked up today - i thought it could be a stuck valve but wouldnt u know it the geniuses have the valves inline with the piston which eliminates that. Not quite sure but judging from yours be good to pop my heads off too - i think some copper spray would be ok and leave the shim head gasket on there- the head doesnt really do much than seal combustion pressures, flow coolant and holt the spark plug. Glad u have such good detailed videos up so I dont have to lol
