  1. nipple installed in the water pump will be the heater; the pipe tube in reman water pump MAY be for a newer style engine having a tip turbine fan inter cooler ??? every thing seems to change to this "updated" crap. picked up a new tower control for 5200 John Deere I'm working on ($520.oo) had newer safety plate > 45 degrees off original>WTF .. personally I would either return for exact or make short hose section with plug and run it.
  2. regulator valves going to actuator valves cut and crimped ???
  3. WHY ????? too many hands in an area of unknow. best bet ;; take some time and go to truck shows ; see actual vehicles
  4. the grease board was a common tool back in the day. sometimes a P I A but better then dismounting the tires , pulling hub /drum assembly with floor jack. Luckly a customer having large fleet bought an OTC wheel dolly jack. I borrowed it countless times. not only faster but less seals got damaged on reinstall. accurate control when sliding wheel assy back on axle. I eventually acquired one (walker); think that went in auction also😞
  5. carefully remove o-ring , clean the inner ring groove . can find another new o-ring better.; if not apply some RTV in o-ring groove reinstall the o ring. it's not a high pressure area.
  6. beautiful looking . only good thing about this rent is contract states no animals. closing in on 75 ; can't run with a puppy; won't go through the events of putting down a senior . shelters have some of the most amazing animals
  7. have placed two foams back to back on injector installs also.
  8. how true a statement; shepherd/ huskie rescue dog. he came home to us at 8 weeks ;then went Home after 16 1/2 yrs of being my best ever Friend. had a portrait of him painted which has the same effect when I look at it; and he's been gone a number of yrs now.
  9. to make sure I got the correct forecast; I had to watch it twice!! don't know why the boots craze has taken over. defiantly a perfect picture (except for the ring on left finger !LOL)
  10. now wouldn't that be a hoot if Zina's friends son getting married next month is my future son-in-law. LOL yep Daddy is footing the bill for another wedding in march. don't ask me his name :::i don't remember. there might be a positive to this after all ;;; having a few drinks with other dog!!🍻🍺🍺
  11. right hand drive common in other parts of the world.
  12. interesting the topic of never seize hasn't shown up before this. always did the never=seize on the injectors before install. caution given during application don't want the seize going down barrel going between injector and brass washer ,lube 90%
  13. made another go at the driveway cleaning. actually the wife's car under a car port ; with the wind bad as it is , the car still had 6 + inches snow . I even cleaned the car off and cut a path in front of it. she's scheduled for work tomorrow ; and I don't want any reason why she can't go LOL
  14. electricity out this am for while; back now !!! what a relief that is === no electricity=== means no TV or radio !! wife thinks Im going to sit listen to her gossip :: not a F=-=- chance. 2 +hours behind snowblower which didn't clear the short driveway ; only opened it up. thanks to the town/city crew I have a wall of snow end of driveway . must be 8 ft wide x3ft high. snow heavy / wet now.. I feel confident my heart DR doesn't own a Mack and not on this site LOL
  15. another fine example of "a picture worth a thousand words"".. picture explains alot. i'll bet a box of tofu that body has a conveyer chain setup inside down the middle.
  16. told you I don't follow politics' LOL both buildings are white aren't they ??? someone should put signs on them with labels. Isn't the capital same place where all the pocket filling kick backs take place ?? they must have security there ???
  17. have to admit I don't follow politics ; might as well read a Donald duck nursery book. what im not understanding is how last week ONE person carrying a gun on white house property made breaking news. yet when hundreds walked/ climbed all over white house property ; it wasn't filmed till they were climbing walls and inside!! where was security ??
  18. don't let first trip with tofu be a judgement call. there are a number of types. it also mixes with many other foods. I buy 5+ loaves a bread a week ; yet eat none of it ;;; I feed the ducks in river next to house. depends ON THE WEATHER !
  19. yes ;LOL ; doing alot of tofu ; salad . my previous Landlady (Chinese ) has introduced me to quite a few "better" for you foods. getting on with age / winter/ lack of ambition; the pounds add fast. actually bought some pastry last week ;first in months. the weather does it to a person. == saved and back on topic. LOL
  20. there might be some good in the hole saw idea::: 7/16 + - saw having a 5/16 guide will keep saw centered in hole; the saw will weaken the center of washer unlike using a drill which could possibly damage head. another topic having the "wish I was there ".
  21. attempt the chisel route; we are talking LIght tapping ; be a mess to blast out the head.
  22. as a last resort since all others failed. a small sharp chisel :yep . pros VS cons . two notches across from each other . sometimes the washer will bend up ; down side there is also a chance to expand the washer tighter. have done the chisel route with success. since heads are off no contamination in cyl. never tried this BUT small hole saw to weaken washer. pull that one off your qualified to do open heart surgery!!!
  23. 1:20pm in CT it's starting !! real fine snow/ sleet. everyone seems concerned about having gas/ food!!! I've got 5 bottles of Yukon Jack/ tofu/ and plenty of scale models to build.!! I didn't put the snow there; why should I have to remove it LOL
  24. question I have which I didn't see asked !! IS ::: are You looking to build a truck or trailer. we see this Mack suspension was from a modified trailer. determination is to find a Mack suspension?? as previous stated ; would make more sense if a trailer is being constructed to find a trailer set up building a (Mack) pictures appreciated
  25. are the heads still on the ground as in picture ??? if so a rat tail file BY HAND tap in and twist. check file diameter using old washer that is out. don't want to damage injector bore. also install file in injector hole in head to double check clearances. don't remember if the brass washer hole dia is smaller then on heads, small socket/ flat punch from bottom side ???
