You can also buy gasket material from amazon. It will take some time to get you a dxf. First, gotta get it off the motor, cleaned up and then spend some time drawing it up.

I can probably supply the dxf file on the valve cover. Just sent one to a guy to make some wheel braces for my little tractor. Front, right wheel cracked completely apart the other day. Anyway, this guy has a CNC plasma cutter and he's going to cut out 2, 3/8" thick plates based on my dxf.

In a bit of a conundrum about the engine valve cover. 90% of the paint has flaked off of it and the bare metal is rusting, I'm afraid to pull the valve cover because sure as sunshine, the gasket is going to fall apart into 20+ pieces the minute I pull it apart. I can buy an entire engine...

I will admit that I did not use a shield or safety glasses while pulling the pulley. Just did not occur to me, even though both glasses and shield were less than 4' away from where I was working. Never experienced or even heard of something like that happening using a puller but I have now...

Yeah, I tried the heat thing before resorting to the impact. Left it overnight as tight as I could get it by hand. Temp the next morning was about 32F. Used a torch on the pulley hoping it would do the trick with the shaft close to 32F. Never budged a micron. Got the pulley up to about...

Got the pulley off the water pump earlier this evening. Had to use an impact wrench on the puller. That sucker is ON there! Don't really think it was so tuff because stuff was rusty and such. I think it's just a really tight interference fit. Vibrating the pump with the impact resulted in...

Consider it done! Thank you!!

OK, got a question: I went out and traced / documented the 12 leads from the main alternator (see below). Then I cut open the big blobs of weather tape to see what they had actually done when they rewired this thing. Pretty poor! They crimped ring terminals on the ends of the wires and then...

Progress on the schematic but still a good way to go.

Well, after a week of soaking with penetrating oil I got the screws holding the water pump backing plate loose. Still had to use the old impact screwdriver and beat on them pretty good. Actually, had to heat up one of them with a torch and still had to beat on it pretty good. The crap in the...

Pulled the small round timing cover off the motor and made a new gasket for it. The gasket was in pretty bad shape when I pulled it apart to rebuild the injection pump and I noticed what looked like a little fresh oil under it on the big timing cover when I pulled the motor off of the skids...

I looked and looked but obviously not in the right place. I drew it out mostly because I wanted it as part of the full schematic drawing I will be doing for this Frankenstein MEP.

Also, as I posted earlier, I removed all the aluminum schematics and tags from the acoustic enclosure panels. There's no "restoring" this generator to anything near "factory condition" and these tags are pretty much useless on this particular MEP because it's been so heavily modified. So if...

I dug all thru the TMs and spent hours searching the internet for a "pin-out" diagram of the big connector that goes into the instrument enclosure. Never found one for that exact connector so I spent some time last night doing it in CAD. Figured I'd share to anyone who would like it. edit...

Not much to report lately. Decided to rent a large sandblaster and compressor and just do the blasting myself. Waiting for better weather for that project - might be waiting a while this time of year around here. Drilled out and re-tapped the 7 screws holding the convenience receptacle...

Not disagreeing, just want to know because I hate not knowing exactly what I'm doing with stuff like this. I will want to get with you on governor settings for sure. I haven't actually picked out or ordered an actuator for the throttle but this thing (DGC) will control the actuator to keep RPM...

OK, I'll try to dig up that info searching but for now, just gonna leave it like that. I believe "bus" is how they refer to the power from the grid.

Anyone know the answers to these options??? Thanks

Sunday, I chained the skid assembly to the tractor to make sure it could lift it. No problem. My 24 volt , 20 amp power supply came in today. Hooked it up and the DGC came right up. Connected to it with my laptop via USB and checked it out. It's the latest and greatest hardware version so I...

Spent most of yesterday taking the case further apart. Today I blasted and primed some of the smaller parts. After letting the shackles soak in penetrating oil I finally got the apart. Spent a good 4 -5 hours yesterday putting a basketball goal together. :)
