The Red Clay Traveler has a way of capturing the frustration we all seem to encounter when wading into the world of online buying and selling. I've become resigned to the fact that a good 30-40 percent of online buyers or sellers are huffing large amounts of aluminum spray paint just prior to hopping online or texting. Keep the content rolling, its high entertainment!
I believe it's important before buying or selling anything that I inform myself a lot before engaging in the actual sales/purchase process. I think that's how I came across you, if I'm not mistaken, while I was researching a local truck. Knowing that I know what I need to in order to make an educated purchase/sale, I don't engage with the other parties too much to the point where it gets personal. The way I see it they have something I want, either to buy or I want their money, so I don't get into arguments with them about anything. If I'm trying to make a purchase and they're way high, well I know they aren't going to sell whatever it is, so I give them an honest assessment of what it's worth and tell them I hope they get what they want, but if they find they can't sell it it and they do some research, they might see I'm giving them a good offer. The two most important things I can suggest to someone looking to make a purchase is, aside from knowing what it is they're looking at and what things are worth, is to be ready to make the purchase immediately (you have the money and any permission you might need to buy it already) as once the process starts it moves fast. Second is to not want it more than the person selling it, you have to be able to walk away no harm done. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it at a price someone else is willing to part with it. Seems simple but when people get involved, nothing is simple.
Looks right. No keyway slot in middle hole with a small hole off to the side for the pin sticking out from cam. Not sure if mine has the bearing. Still in the box and not near it now. The cloyes doesnt come with bearing. At least the last one didnt. Interesting.
@@redclaytraveler1949 yeah all we have to do is figure it out 😆 the spacing between gear face and cam or gear to block face will enter into it. May have to make a call to australia to check. No joke. I will check the one I have but that doesn't say it is machined the same or if it even came with bearing. If you call please tell me what they say. My guess is to delete but then why put it in the box?
@@redclaytraveler1949 not the other AMC sixes they are the same. I would call them. I will see if I can come up with any facts but I doubt it. Cloyes probably can't help as it's not there unit.
I don’t know, I haven’t been around any other AMC sixes. I don’t know what the bearing situation is, my Dauntless didn’t have a bearing when I did its chain. As usual it would appear I am over my head. lol I did read that you sometimes have to clearance one sprocket for an oil passage or something like that. I’m not with the chain or I would check. The instructions seem straightforward and nothing strange, but I don’t know
I've been all over the southeast looking for a willys wagon, I've come across the same nonsense. Marketplace should make these take an IQ test. I saw pictures of a restoration
