removing top ring on a freewheel

I have a fairly rusty Shimano 7 speed mf-hg37 originally from an old mountain bike. It works fine, but since I'm not using it and it's not in pristine shape, I figured that I would try disassembling...

OK so I found a steel pipe section with an outer diameter of 1.05 inches, which is just 1 mm greater than that of the seat post (26.7 mm vs 26.6 mm). After tapping it in a few inches and removing it,...

Thanks for all the answers. I just realized that the problem is worse than I thought. I can only fit the seat post a few inches inside the seat tube, then it gets more and more stuck as it comes into...

OK so turns out the stripped threads are on the non-drive side arm (I was on pretty low sleep when I made my initial post lol). Given the very modest intentions I have for this bike, would there be...

Thanks for the helpful replies. As a general rule, are cranksets on old entry-level mountain bikes (late 80's-early 90s) usually interchangeable? Assuming the spindles are of comparable size, would...

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I will have too much trouble getting the cranks off and the quality is so low that I'm not worried about damaging it a little in the process. What I'm worried...

I just saw this exact same model, in similar shape, at the thrift store for $30. The frame and drivetrain caught my eye, but the chain stay brake and lesser components made me question whether it...
