Hello my name is Jeff and I have a question for you. I just purchased a 1984 Hurst Olds, same color as the one in the video. Front and back wings are flawless. Body has virtually no rust. Has the lightning rods. Any general idea of the value of it. No body damage.

The short answer: "not much". I'd stay away (MYSELF PERSONALLY). I spent hundreds in just advertising alone, for what I thought was a 'Museum-Example' Car (the one you see here), that I worked on / in concert with the H.O.C.A. Result: In the end: I literally gave it away !. SO, [ in my OPINION ], these cars are not a "great" investment. THAT SAID: Some Lawyer (or Atty.) will, and MAY pay a nice price ... but: like ANYTHING ... "it's worth what you can get". I lost huge money on all my G Body cars, as (around HERE), they won't even garner passive interest. Lastly, even if you DID, get say: "10K" ... "that won't buy a junk-ass rotten Chevy Aveo" !. End run: 'INVESTMENT' / "no", enjoyment: "sure". But after that: "I'd stay away". Best

Always go for the fill plug first. If you pull the drain plug first and can't get the fill plug out you will be in for some trouble. I got my fill plug out with a serpantine belt wrench without removing the muffler or anything. I then used the old fashioned giant oil syringe for filling rear diffs. Autozone has them for less than 20 bucks.
@TommyZTrains Ай бұрын
Fill plug's (plural), as there are two. But as I preface here, It is impossible to reach ANY of it ... and, when you become determined (as your site example of here) and you DO get either the top OR the side plugs out (and you can), you cannot get an evacuation hose / tip, "or-end" of your evac. device (or anything else" 'IN' the sump, so that will garner no result. Even with them out (both plugs), any entry is impossible / as the pinion (call it the ring gear) are a literal "wall" + will stop you dead in your tracks amid no entry from siphoning or sucking out 'anything'. Lastly: the 2014's THEN incorporated a drain plug, (IOW: the complaints ran wild, and Ford saw the light), I myself would later drill a hole / + install a drain plug (I drilled a hole / & threaded same to install a pipe plug) on my pig bottom (on the flat part of the pigs bottom where the part number label is), & I found my resolve there. *I now have 237 K on this car, (and I've dropped that diff. oil 3 or 4 times now), + the car has STILL given me zero issues. *WHAT A GREAT CAR OTHERWISE ! / just saying.

Great vidoe, I'm an HRC216 owner myself, im not a mechanic and just do basic maintenance so I learned a lot this video. Is there a reason that the rpms arent as strong as before? It doesn't go as fast anymore, would greasing the ball bearings like you did help with that? Is it just grease that you put on them?
@TommyZTrains Ай бұрын
That won't help (in an RPM regard), and I wouldn't really worry about your "little personality change" amid the governed speed. It CAN be moved, but I'm quite sure that overall you are happy with the machines performance ? / and there is a governor spring, that perhaps has lost just a tiny bit of tinsel (strength) ... so, if your running the motor and look on the left side; you will see a network of links / and it is there that you'll find an "arm" that you carefully can bend to INCREASE spring "tinsel" strength. *I know this won't make a lot of sense, but I'm afraid that it's rather involved to do this procedure unless your well familiar with the machines "build". END RUN: you haven't any "real-issue" right ? / SO then; "just leave things alone" / but KNOW that under ANY load, the machine WILL compensate for ANY "load" that you can happen to throw at it / = "everything's ok". 🙃 Just keep the blades nice n' sharp, give it a bit of a lube, and you'll enjoy FOREVER performance. Take CARE.

I guess powered battery powered trimmers are great for homeowners who only “edge”the yard every two weeks! I’m serious. Homeowners who don’t use them commercially.

To landscapers, Honda's HRC 216 is like the AR-15 firearm, the best weapon in his arsenal: one pull, one start. I purchased one in the mid-eighties, a model HRC 216-AD, type HXA. The engine lasted for 40-years of residential use before it through a rod this week--right out the side of the case. Fortunately, I was able to procure a long block off eBay, what appears to be a Honda compatible. We shall see how long it last. For the record, I have zero interest in an electric mower. My 93-year-old mother has one of those "Playstation" mowers, a Black and Decker 36V, and it is already dead as a doornail.

Purchased one of these new in 2011 and have been using it every season without fail. Just tore it down and replaced a bunch of rusty parts. I would disagree though that these are dropping in value. In fact I believe that these will begin to appreciate as they become more scarce. A nice example in the shape of the one you worked on gets upwards of a grand in my area. Landscapers will pay all the money for the nice examples as they know they are a work horse.
