In speaking...

Re: 1975 JD300

So a while ago I was trying to figure out how many cans of oil came in a case to help me determine approximately how many miles might be on this sled, due to no tach or speedo. Snowmoer mentioned that the oil came in case lots of 4 or 6, so I figured maybe around 500 miles on the sled, but that didn...

Re: 1975 JD300

Update on trying to get this sled to run, finally some Great News! Had to tear down the carb a couple times to adjust that metering arm like cdnturboz and 400brian suggested, and after that, she started first pull and stayed running, idling perfect, I was kinda beside myself in disbelief lol! But, I...

Re: 1975 JD300

Thanks for the response Jason in regard to replacing engine seals without splitting the case, where can I find a copy of that SM2100 manual? I'll consider looking at doing that for sure. Also, good info on the case size of the oil Dan, thanks for that, I'll have to ask father-in-law if he remembers ...

Re: 1975 JD300

Thanks guys, appreciate the positive comments! My thoughts were to polish it up, get it running and hopefully sell it to someone who has the time to baby this thing, taking it to vintage sled meets, vintage rallies, etc. I will admit, the more I'm getting into this sled, the harder it is for me to l...

Been sitting in his quonset forever and have no idea the last time it ran. Plan on rebuilding the Walbro carb/fuel pump, clean out the fuel tank (s...
