IDK Mech, I think it's easy for us guys to forget not everyone really gets what's going on on those shows. We see different things than lots of others watching. I like them, some pretty nice equipment. 

Remember when bud light had frogs ?  and that dog with the black eye, and The Jerky Boys    WTF happened ... I thought this was a joke at first.

That'd be a nice addition for Jamie Davis.  He seems to be enamored of Holmes equipment . Seems this one has quite a few repairs on it already. 

If I'm reading right, looks like today id OD's birthday.  Happy Birthday !!!

Yeah guys, He (Onyx610)  is fine..  I keep in touch with him.  He looks at the post's but doesnt log in for some reason..  I wish he would come back to work/play... He has a lot of knowledge..   Jojo

I've wondered too.  He is a good guy.  Miss'm

Depends who you're affiliated with Bob.

🤔  yeah, if this was buttagegg  and Ron Jeremy it would never get this kinda coverage

Congratulations Paul , hope you have an easy time settling in.

His picture of the afflicted wheel end has a wire for a wheel speed sensor in it . (  how about that fancy wording ??  )

the stacks were a joke. 😁

plan is to bring the pipe out low, with muffler close to set, than run the pipe along the chimney close to the top and then have a turndown to keep rainwater out. outlet of exhaust will be around 20 foot up. this should eliminate most of the noise.

 ya big tease

Thanks for posting the cure.  Not everyone does that. Glad you're fixed.

Limiter......eliminator ..... aneroid puff limiter.... greta's still annoying

Mech......wasn't it a (puff limiter) ?  not eliminator ?

Oh NO!!!  They got into my brain......  whatever will I do??  

Just go buy some everyday thing you need . You'll be in perfect alignment with what's in your head.

her parents really should have fed her to the crocodiles when they had the chance. 

 

I'd like to have a little heart to heart with Greta.  Let her know how much I've spent on DEF and after treatment and how many tens of thousands of dollars  such great world saving ideas (like  the Mack AMI)   Figure it'd warm her up for when she goes to china to straighten out leg hump'n xi.  

I'm with Paul on this one . Even if he is speaking out of fear of a visit from gretzilla    (it's understandable, she's angry)

(lol)   yes, she made that speech and had that infamous dramatic moment asking "how dare you"  then got back on her sail boat and went home.    Bullhead coulda meant justin.....or who knows

And don't get me started on that little lunatic!!! Another example of why not all people should be allowed to reproduce.

I'm confused . Which "little lunatic" ?  you're going to need to be more specific .

Poor Greta......how dare you

Wait until you have this engine running.  You're going to be surprised at how smooth and quiet the engine is ( not the exhaust ) .  

My guy here is pretty good. He's also older and isn't able to do as much as fast and all that good stuff.  The Mack dealer that was in the area that did the heads rods and injection components ....all gone.   I guess it's only going to get worse as time goes on.  

A true machinist is a dying breed . Most places only want to do CNC stuff and most parts anymore just get thrown away and replaced by something else.  Polishing a big crank shaft like that ?  Not a ten minute job. Not many guys will get involved (more than likely a guy named Matt will end up doing it)  If it miced out ok, polish it and use tri metal bearings. (most likely all that's available for that application) Then you get to go through the whole cleaning ordeal again.  Don't let some guy trying to sell something talk you into aluminum bearings. All the younger guys think they're all the rage. 

It is hard to see, but if the bushing is walking out of the rod, it's not impossible .  It'll be hard to see it if it flies apart too, but that'll be from vision distorted by tears 😪
