They are servicing it. The thing was covered in rust when we got it so they have to bead blast it and then they are just turning it. Althought they are not exspensive at all and a same day turn around time is always good. Just call them and ask them for a quote.

sheaphards does it, and if you are in cburg/bburg area, which you arent, call Axles Inc. he does all ours for work, and is reasonable.

just make sure they know what they are doing, and machine the step also...


depends on what kind of flywheel it is on too....

Resurfacing it in one day????
Heard it normally takes a few..
If they can do it in one day I might send mine over there when I do the clutch

Correct. Resurfacing a flywheel takes less than an hour. Anyone that takes "a couple of days" either needs to hire some help or find another line of work.

Not to sound like an ass but I dont think sheppards is really qualified to do machine work on anything that will see abuse/racing. Ive been around that place for quite a few years and have seen the way they do things. If you need your lawn mower/tractor engine worked on then they are the place to go and they are cheap on their labor rates but you get EXACTLY what you pay for with them.

Take it to hudsons machine shop in vinton or over to terry walters off starky road

Yeah, I dropped it off at hudsons around 1 and picked it up at 4. Pretty good turn around time considering what all they had to do to it.
