I have the instruction booklet, however it is two sided and my scanner isn't. I cannot upload the documents successfully to this thread, however, I can send you an email with them attached. There will be two files, biscuit 1 and biscuit 2. 1 are the odd pages and 2 are the even pages. Since they are...

Nick,

I then was able to stretch them on the rest of the way without alot of effort. I just started at the clamps and stretched the tires ont...

I had the same problem with a used one I purchased. I started with a very fine steel wool and WD-40. That took alot off but it was rather slow after knocking off the initial rust. I then bought naval jelly, applied it and let it sit a few minutes per the directions, then used fine steel wool. That w...
