You'll know......but as I said heat varies with rpm....may take a couple minutes...but you'll know....
Good day today. Fixed the fuel system for the pony motor for a 1937 caterpillar D4. The fuel filter was too plugged to let any through. Even after cleaning, it was too slow a flow to work. We figured since it had one other filter and a sediment bowl, we would just fun it without that filter. Worked great.
Then, we got the 1943 caterpillar model 10 motor grader running. That was a job. The pony motor will leak all its oil out within two months, so we had to refill that. Once we got the pony motor running, and let it run for 10-15 minutes to warm the manifold, the diesel wouldn't start... It would blow lots of white smoke rings, but wouldn't start. We had to bleed the injector pump, then it fired right up. Not in the best shape, both doors are too bent to close, and need to be held open or closed with a ratchet strap. The paint is mostly gone, and both the main brakes and the emergency brake are broken. You stop it by pressing the clutch, and slamming the blade into the ground... Anyways, we moved it across the property, and he showed me how to run it. I didn't get the chance to operate it, but he showed me enough that I could manage if I had to.
The rest of the day was spent doing assorted things around the place. I found a real nice husky 2100cd in the oil shed, it turns out the guy who gave me the 7-19 and the canadien gave it to the museum a few years back...
Atleast I will be able to run it a bit, and see how I like the 2100 before buying one. Killed a bunch of wasp nests, fixed an air conditioning unit, and shortened an old dentists chair. I am back there on sunday for the V8 ford club car show and picknick. I will be directing parking the morning, and looking at the cars all afternoon. Over 150 cars there. Everything from model Ts, to 1950 F1 pickups, to vintage ford stock cars. That will be fun.
