Oh my! That is a big lapdog.
We have a chihuahua, and she's not a yapper. Only gets angry when a strange dog comes around.
It got up to 79 here, after being 41F this morning. I'm off tomorrow, but they say it will rain. I hope so, but I have chores I need to do outside.
THE STEINER BEAST MOWS NOW!!!
Put some bearings in the idler pulley and put it on, installed some of the framework back on, fired her up, pulled the electric PTO switch, and waalaa! Still has a burst hose for adjusting traction, but we don't mess with that right now just yet. The 72" deck is exceptionally quiet, maybe because the kubota diesel drowns it out.
Many things to do yet, but she's a runner/mower now.GT80:
I got the partzilla order in, but if you remember, I had to order the rings off of an ebay seller. Ordered them on the 4th, he just shipped them today, priority. So when we get the rings, we hopefully will be in business.
Work Scroll compressor:
It has a manifold that the oil/coolant filter attaches to, and I noticed that it wasn't sending the oil to the radiator cooler and back because there was no differential on the lines going back and forth. It turns out, it has some sort of metering piston inside, that is thermally actuated with a heated wax valve stem type part. I'm guessing there are o-rings or seals, but the manifold does not offer a rebuild kit on the piston plunger. Only the wax valve stem. Maybe when I get time, I'll take it apart and find the correct orings and seals and try to rebuild it.
RNG, that looks like quite a bit of welding on the oil sump. Did you considered brazing it with brass and flux? Put a bit of gas in it and swirl it around outside in the sunlight. Gas will let you know fast if there are leaks. Very low surface tension. Capillary action is one of the strongest forces on earth, I was told by a smart engineer....it just happens in such a small space. Hope you get some rain.
Ron, our dog was a rescue, and she got spayed just before we got her. She was down to 6 lbs. She's up to 9 lbs now, so we have half again more dog than we started with. I've had 2 golden retrievers, both great dogs. Just so sad when you lose them.
My buddy has gone floundering (for real), and got their limit 2 nights in a row. That is a good thing.
I now know why people pay $400 for a yeti ice chest......so they don't have to clean their fish for 3 days or more.
Prayers for our team, prayers and healing for cancer, heart disease, Covid, and mental illness.
And big prayers for our Country.
