Wiring just ain't my thing, but I'll be searching the forum for a good walk through on what you've described here. I have a couple wiring projects (non critical) that I've been avoiding and this seems like a perfect opportunity to begin my education. I'll post again once I've gotten to the...

That's my plan, to pull out my starter and take it to them to bench test to get it replaced. I'm wondering if it's going to bench test okay because it always starts no problem from cold. If so, I'll buy this kit and do it that way. I'll make sure to do these recommended adjustments if it gets...

I appreciate this so much. It's an OReilly purchased starter that's still under warranty but I'm sure it will bench test okay for them because this failure is in conjuction with heat. Also, I'll learn more attempting the rebuild. Thanks!

Mark & Spikestrip thank you for the quick response. Okay, I'll head over to O'Reilly and see if they have what I need in stock, or I'll order. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Hey Spike Strip, I replaced my starter and solenoid when I began needing to hit my starter with a hammer to start sometimes. Seemed okay but now (about a year later) I'm having an intermittent issue with starting, similar to that described in this thread. Dash lights on, no sound from starter...

Hiya Georg, I was sorry to miss you. I put your steering pump conversion in my 60 about a year ago and wanted to say hello. Some other time. 😊 Diana

Thanks for this. I had this in my back pocket if I struggled with that HP hose but it went in a treat! I was worried about the wrong things seems like.

So, it wasn’t an easy job to do but I went in with no real practical experience. I did a lot of perusing this thread in preparation. I was only able to do a small test run… (2 laps around a 2 acre field) before I had to come home from AZ where the rig is but it’s performing great and there are...

I’ve ordered the modified high pressure hose along with the kit so maybe I’m in good shape. It’s likely that the theoretical approach isn’t serving me well and it will make more sense when I’ve got it right in front of me. Thanks

Hi All, I’ve been reading about this conversion for a year and finally ordered the kit, a gasket kit for the steering box and went into autozone to pick up the pump last week. I’m planning to do the job over Labor Day weekend. I am not finding the duralast pump anywhere so I bought the endurance...

That's something for me to keep in mind. I like being able to grab spare parts easily.

Borrego that's an amazing price! Thanks for the link. :)

60 Works and Seth - I appreciate the info. I forgot to mention that my tires are 33". I'm glad you added that note 60. I just talked to Valley Hybrids and realize I'll be into around $400 once I have the kit and that duralast pump. I have more time than money so I'll try to get the City Racer...

mtelk, please post about your experience....I'm super interested to know how it goes. I'd like to do the same job on the front (replace extended shackles with factory length and then OME springs with a 2" lift) that I just did on the back. I'd like to have some confidence with using heat and...
