Busted wrist pin on a MX13. Never even scored the liner.

 

Any back story and truck details?

 

This IR231 Snapped a rotor shaft yesterday while I was changing lift axle tires.

Not sure how old this thing is but it sure went a long time and never weakened.

Rebuild kit coming in.

Also have a IR 2135Ti as well that needed an anvil. The 231’s anvil went into the 2135. Now I have a working 2135 again

 

What were the symptons off the patient?

 

I got told the rotors are not available for the 231’s. We ordered one for the 2135 which is the same dimensions but 7 blade instead of the 231’s 6. Not sure if this will work.

I’ll check on the IR site

 

Not much to add. Fleet truck with an apu that hauled deck its whole life. 700,000km ish. Just one of those things I guess.

Thump thump thump

 

This morning as I bobtailed with the old ford to a Township yard move a conveyor.

As I was driving over, I noticed a loss of power and I can see in the small convex mirror that’s aimed at my stacks. Continuous black smoke.

Crap. Turbo must be gone.

I drive back to the company yard which was only 5-10 mins away.

Once there, I turned off the old kitty. I can feel the turbo grinding through the truck while spinning down.

 

If you keep tearing stuff up you’re going to need a bigger bench

 

This bench is the fender of a truck I’m over hauling the engine in.
