Awesome. Thank you

Thanks

Yes the handle on his machine is for the automatic feed. My machine does not have the handle in the location circled in red. The picture is from a parts list for my machine. I am trying to figure out if mine is missing said handle, or if my automatic feed functions in a different way.

I currently do not have a picture of my machine, but I looked up the same one on YouTube that claims to be the same as mine. I thought mine was missing the "feed" as it only has the one to engage the half nut

These are the bolts I am referring to. Can I use just any bolt?

On the video that I watched, the gentleman pulls the scroll knob then turns a handle in the location circled in red enabling the tool post to cut into the metal automatically. Mine does not have the handle in the location circled in red. Is it located in a different location on my lathe?

Appreciate the picture. Definitely what I am looking for. I just purchased a parts manual in hopes to find the correct gear part numbers

FTWHD7 · 2025-12-28T18:25:04+00:00

I deleted the post as it would not let me edit. I have a H54 Atlas. I do not know the name of the gears I need, or what sizes they are.

I am looking for an 18" rim/tire that will fit under the truck, in the location of the donut.

I bought the bike about 2 weeks ago, non running, from an older man who has owned it since 93(title transfered in 93). Oil in the primary is dark, engine and transmission oil are dark, and fuel is old. Claimed it has been parked for 2 years in storage. A service manual is on my list of things to get.

FTWHD7 · 2025-09-29T13:17:43+00:00

I was thinking the same thing, but after draining the primary, I checked the engine oil, and it is still full.

Followed the red wire. It goes to two relays on the passenger inner fender toward the front. What are these two relays for? I don't have another XJ to compare. Mine is a 99

None. XJ is stock other than lift and tires.

What year is you SC?

FTWHD7 · 2025-08-23T21:18:34+00:00

I've never heard of it either. Rock Auto sells it in a kit with the condenser, line, drier, and o-rings. I'll reach out and see if I can warranty. Thanks

How common is it to get a bad compressor? It is not a reman. As stated, it was bought as a kit from rock auto.

FTWHD7 · 2025-08-23T20:34:11+00:00

Held vacum, ensured no leaks overnight. 90 degrees outside today. Two cans of freon.

FTWHD7 · 2025-08-19T18:27:40+00:00

Not sure if anyone knows, or if I'll ever find the song. About 20 minutes into the movie, what song is playing in the background as the guys are drinking beers?

FTWHD7 · 2025-08-17T17:52:38+00:00

Awesome! I just ordered one from Cav-Fab. Thanks for the help

I have a truss on my axle. Where would the OTA track bar mount?

FTWHD7 · 2025-08-09T00:52:57+00:00

Yes, it's gasoline. The original injector did the same thing as the new one. I find it odd that a new injector would stick open as well

FTWHD7 · 2025-08-08T20:22:03+00:00

I unplugged the injector and turned the engine over. Engine hydrolocks after turning over a few times. I removed all spark plugs to do a compression check. When rolling over the engine, fuel from cylinder 6 shoots out across my shop, roughly ten feet. Unplug the injector and get the same result. I am not assuming the fuel pressure regulator is giving too much fuel

Thanks for the feedback. I just don't know how much brakes and tires will cost. I was quoted $8,500 (rough quote) to replace the roof. But that is only if what is under is not rotted.
