Where is everyone #5

Time ta look for a new ins company ?

 

Always loved the smell of a coal furnace when they were a burning on a cold night........might be why I have a persistent cough ?.....might be the cigars ? ......nah gotta be sumpthin else !

 

I had considered not pulling it. But I'm this far in so....

The washer on that stud has a rubber center

 

I can't get a good look at it. Did they just take the outside skin off of a us express trailer or is it a modified us express trailer that they put hoppers on?

 

Back at corporate HQ to drop the rice load and hook a feed load going back to Hereford.
Hopefully I can get gone before they notice me and stick me on a hopper from now ‘till 2am or so...Those boys be putting in crazy hours this time of the year.

 

Cool, just remember before you take that plate off rotate engine till timing marks line up. Might want to hang cam gear back on when ya do. Plus you'll have to reset your gear lash on cam idler gear. Make dang sure you rotate engine 180deg. In the direction it turns to take all gear slap out of gear train. You will also have to back rocker shaft bolts off to be able to work the gear lash when you set it. It's a pain but you can do it !

 

Dad's shop has an old wood/coal stove. I don't work in it anymore or heat it usually, but when I do I prefer to use coal. 1, I like the smell, and 2, if I bank it down good, it's usually still warm the next day.

For my house, if I ever HAD to go back to burning, it would be an outdoor wood/coal water heater - I'm partial to the stainless ones made by Hardy.

 

I'd probably still be tempted to put a little anaerobic sealer on the splines of the buggered one before you pressed it in.

 

~catch me later I'm gone...
