Hey Nate, do you remember Tony's and Sharon last name? Big english guy.  Seems like they visited you. Well, they were here  and then disappeared. They  had the big bus and went to mexico. They live not far from here and my lady wants to go look them up. I hope Tony did not kick any bucket, but with a last name I could try and find them. Thanks, Max

Hi Nate.
well, not sure what I'll build with the lumber, I made a couple of slab
tables a while back. For now, just cut it, stack and sticker it, and let
it air dry under cover.

The guy has a fresh "TD" engine he is trying to sell, interestingly.

Odin ;

Do you build furniture or what with the black oak ? .

I imagine a TD chassis (plenty of those dirt cheap !) would be the best basis for a Ute conversion .

[diesel_mercedes] There's A Fungus Among Us......

 

Sigh ;

I ran the fuel down to low fuel lamp on (532 miles , YAY !) , saw the dreaded black crud in the clear plastic intake screen again and decided to pull the in tank fuel screen and see what's what .

The remaining two gallons of fuel drained out looking  fine , the screen was almost spotless and putting a finger inside the tank's hole revealed nothing so I sighed (grumbled actually) , buttoned it back up and pulled the fuel gauge sender , as soon as it began to with draw I knew I had troubles as the tube's exterior was lightly coated in black filmy stuff....


I took the sender apart and guess what ? the lower inside of the tube and the float , contacts etc. were all coated in black chunks that *instantly* dissolved into fine paste when you touched them .


FUNGUS AGAIN .


So , I cleaned it all out and this time cleaned and polished the inside of the tube with a wire brush .


I then cleaned out the crap in the clear plastic intake screen .


When I take it down off the safety stands I'll try over dosing it with a half gallon of Startron when I tank it up again .


Remember the diesel fuel leaks I had ? the weeping diesel fuel attacked and destroyed the engine shock absorber mounts (kits from The Classic Center are not $pendy) , apparently the trailing diesel fuel that coated the underside of the car also attacked the rubber CV joint boots , they're all cracked now and one has parted spraying globs of $pecial CV joint grease all over the under side of the car......


Sigh .


I'd replaced the broken air rubber cleaner mount last week , flexed the remaining two as far as they'd go and no cracks , of course I noticed they'd both parted last night so I replaced them too , might as well since I was in there tightening up the new V Belts .


I see Pelican Parts has rebuilt drive axles for $101......


I also adjusted the vales , finding most of the ones in the front three cylinders tight .


I'd noticed the idle speed had dropped from 700 to 500 RPM's and the cold start had a loping idle .


More soon , I have other works to do to - day .


-Nate

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Yahoo's businesses update

 



Thanx Bill ;

I won't miss yahoo's worthless ' news ' , I just hope the groups don't go away with that department.....

Keep us posted please .

Via Bill in Oregon .

 

Yesterday, it came out that your favorite British tabloid might have its eye on the 'Hoo .

 

Reminder: Yahoo has been a hot mess for the past few years. After a lot of board meetings and rumors, the company said it would be open to getting rid of its news and media properties.

 

Cue a bidding war between major media companies. Verizon is apparently willing to spend the most, and could submit a bid as early as next week. But the Yahoo yard sale apparently caused the Daily Mail's gossiping ears to perk up too. The Mail has been losing revenue from its print newspaper, so Yahoo could give it an ad revenue boost. Owning part of Yahoo would also give the tabloid's parent company a bigger footprint in the US , so that Americans can continue to keep up with the Kardashians.

nope, reinforced standard pan. He found it flexes and so put the foam
between as an experiment. Made me a little nervous, but he feels
confident, so.......

yeah, black oak logs. I fell it a couple of weeks ago, part will be fire
wood, part will turn into lumber on my bandsaw mill.
