, but this is my 'challenge' project! (although I my need some core info depending on how that goes . . .)
The mouse should stay at zero gravity between the fans if turn them both on.
If you turn the heat on leave the defroster off it should cool down the cab nicely with the windshield air! Those close quarters generate plenty of body heat between the two occupants.

……… the ''yellow '' sticker also doesn't instruct you to flip the fan blade over 180 degrees , for ccw rotation..lol,... like a reversible radiator fan..... not that , that works on non-reversible fans... and,....

Hobbs Carb shop Pelham NH best hidden gem around for carbs. Can’t go wrong 100$ or so well worth the rebuild.
Will look and function like new.

…… great shop and quality work,... have had them do many ,...
A buddy of mine (who is doing the machining work on my tables) called a month ago to have them rebuild a 4bbl on a 440 in a ski boat. They are shutting down and no longer taking carbs in. The old man has solidly retired, his son is to the same point and the grandson had no interest in continuing the business.
Notes for future owners:
Clutch M/C is from a CHEVROLET 1960 -'62 C10. Centric #130.80003
Slave cylinder switches plumbing back to Dodge WM300. Number on cylinder was 29381-C (which if you try to search that item is being sold for $75-$110). Correct dished piston replacement is a Dorman CS33723. $22.79 from RockAuto.

Well, going off the info from Tucker Someday and TA's repair, and even though I knew better (since we are dealing with Tuckers), I dove right into the shallow end to try to get rid of my angle iron reinforced draglink. Sister-ship on the same mountain, a year apart, you would think would have similar set-ups. Looking at the ends above I was thinking that sure seems 'small', but the tube kit looked rugged enough and obviously fit on TS's machine. Mine showed up Wednesday and all I can say is I can't believe the ES2010's hold up to the forces of turning a Tucker. Mine is completely different and WAY beefier from a heavy duty truck application.
Original casting has 24-5000 on it (manufacturer unknown). Chasing sizes thru the parts book brings it to current day numbers: Meritor R230060(LH) and R230061(RH). Still searching the correct cross tube.

I was given the info from a parts store driver. He's up by Epping I think he said and also 3 weeks out. Not going to be good without a good rebuilder around.

bummer,.. another old time business fades out,... what a shame. having the same issues with my electrical /alt/starter, and machine shop guys. my engine machine shop, jerry, is 74,... and he says hes going to keep going till he can't any longer. hope he lives to 125,... but im sure he doesn't. the ''trades'' are , & have been in jeopardy for quite some time,... and when we're all done with the sno cat hobbies,...so will they...unfortunately,... be strong....

It is sad when the craftsmen fade away.
We used to have 3 automotive machine shops locally, now all of them are gone.
Luckily there are a couple startups with young folks running them.
The bad part is the old farts had many many decades of experience and new all the tricks.
I am happy to have my own mill and lathe right here to make or repair stuff.
Having been in the trades for many years helps..... I just wish I could have learned more from my father before he passed.
So many crafts are being lost....as the equipment has evolved into a more high tech arena the shops that were really handy with making carburetors work well have faded away.
Now ya need a doctorate in computer science and a mega $$$$$$$$$$$ scanner tool just to figure out why things don't work....
Even heavy equipment ...including snow cats are stuffed full of computers.
All great...until they quit

I believe you are looking at a standard 400 series with 3/4 inch roller/tie rod end and the bigger one is from a 400A series with 1 inch roller
Except on the 68 442A. That one has the smaller tie rods and ends.
Let me know your tube solution. Have two to build this fall!

and do you know they weren't replaced at some time? besides it is a tucker
They would have had to magically reduce the taper on the tables and center pivots tie rods. Plus there is no room to have the bigger rod without hitting the transfer case on that machine.
maybe so, I have seen so many changes/repairs done to machine once they left the factory
but, we all forgot to read what is written the shop floor in chalk at the factory
BUILD NO TWO TUCKERS THE SAME
End Number notes: Meritor R230068(LH) and Meritor R230069(RH) ends are the same as the numbers above, but have 1/2" more thread length, are much more common and much less expensive. For dimension reference: https://mpparts.com/part/meritor-r2...Ntc9XRXB-ytv1_bWciH_vVr4qDZnnpOUaAmugEALw_wcB
I needed to order them in to verify it would work since a lot of the time stock photos are used. All sizes are correct, but the actual ends have a very slight offset which leaves the rod proud (see arrow). I don't believe it will be enough to create an issue given the drop of the rod, but will need to test at full table deflection to verify.
