As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
This one is about 40mm between centers , just trying to get one close to try . I've seen some pictures of husky's that have a similar master and would like to get an idea of what may match or be close .
Thanks bora117 , that's what I've been trying to verify . On this master there is a number 4888 cast into the body , do you know if that is a model is part number ? Or maybe the numbers that have been stamped on it ? I started this engine last Friday to make sure it runs and purge the cooling system of air , took it for a quick ride in my yard , put it in gear and was just off idle , let the clutch out easy and proceeded to leave a trench in my yard . Just a short ride , not much room but WOW ! Vibrates when sitting but didn't notice any riding it , maybe paying too much attention to throttle control . Can't wait to try it in an open area .
thanks big bill , I may call Mitch to see if he has any and price . I did see some on line that look identical for $60 to $70 new , may suggest my friend go this route .
