bananahamuck Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Ted found these on a shelf while i was out side digging around for a Toyota tranny i never found yesterday at a buddy of mines place.. Guy wanted $30. bucks ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, cool. .I know i just bought a full NOS set of lenses but,,, i am probably going to run these instead. 4 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yeah,,, that's why i kept his house a secret from you for so long. You were like a monkey that had just discovered how to peel a banana.. :rofl: 8 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Those lenses should clean up nice. Think I'd run them too. Is that thing still rocking an oil leak? 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes ,, but i told the guy at Applied Industrial Tech i needed a seal to fix a home made agricultural conveyor system that had that size seal........... Dude gave those catalogs a real good looking over and found me a couple... Might be here as early as Friday ,, although i do trade there quite often,,, and i always have strange bearings (usually rusted beyond recognition) from contraptions some old Fin built years ago with junk laying around.. Whoo hoo :thumbup: 6 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 That's brilliant. I'm going to remember that next time I'm looking for odd seals or bearings. I might have tried McMaster Carr. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Applied is awesome for that type of thing. :cool: 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I got seal and installed but am thinking some of the oil looks like it is coming from behind that motor mount sheet thing............ damn-it Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 The only problem is that motor mount sheet thing is across the whole front of the engine so i would have to take off the timing chain and all just to get some of that goop up behind it.. :hmm:,,,,,,,,, Maybe it will look better after a good car wash pressure washing BUT i'm hoping that the new tight seal type action will stop most if not all the huge drainage of oil .. I didn't take any of new rubber seal cover but here is old style gaps. Gap was pretty big but had no way to fix Just needs radiator and grill put back in and we are off to the Hobo-Q this Saturday Check out how the clutch line was "secured" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: It's anyones guess which will fail first ,,,,,the clutch zip ties or all the bondo this thing has on it,,,,,,,,,, it's a toss up really. 5 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 My money is on the bondo, you don't live in a dry climate and there's never any telling what's under bondo. I've found newspaper under it before. Are you leaking antifreeze too? 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's the wrong time of year but you need a nice dusty dirt road, seal up all them leaks. 5 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 On the bright side everything chassis related should stay rust free. 4 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yeah but i believe it is being burnt, because of head gasket on it's way out, not leaked out onto ground..., that green in pictures is just left over dripples from when i took radiator out.. I figure i would just run it till it breaks then lower the RPMs a bit. Are you leaking antifreeze too? 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Aunt Flo wobbled too! LOL 3 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Use a Kevlar belt on that bad boy.....you should be good to go! 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 pulley wobble :frantics: 3 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 That's some serious wobble. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 I did notice it felt a little shakey but figured it was just cold ... After marking timing mark i looked at it and couldn't even see the mark at all,, I fixed it last night cuz didn't want it to fly off all the way up in Hillbilly world today I also pressure washed the engine off on my way home tonight and found where the rest of my leak is at.. I had put new seals in side covers but one of the bolts has loosened up probably from vibration 3 Quote Link to comment
S30Jay Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Glad it's fixed, you're lucky you caught that before it flew off. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hey thanks for the message that you're alive. Woke up with an "oh shit" because I fell asleep before I got any last night 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 You worry to much,, i figured if it made it there you could assume it would easily make it home.. I have members from here and other forum boards and family with trailers that i have picked up from or helped off the freeway all the way up I-5 to within 10 miles of your place,,, so wasn't scared about being scooped up ,,,, that,, and i was carrying a ton of tools 3 extra gallons of water, 4 extra gallons of gas,,, 5 extra quarts of oil a tow rope and my insulated coveralls.. :rofl: :rofl: My biggest ( well GIGANTIC really) worry is coming into Seattle traffic and through Seattle traffic and it don't matter which direction i am going really.. 3 Quote Link to comment
