How is it you get so much done in a week and my simpler jobs (at least I think they are simpler) take just as long or longer? I'm jealous!!
Lator.......

I know wot you mean... need to replace the release bearing in mine and I haven't takin' the time to do it. Mabe if I'd stay off of here

I could get something done.

I had ordered some weldable pipe fittings to use for the exhaust manifold, but as always they didn't show up when they were supposed to.

I remade the motor mounts with the mounts from the buggy. Now the engine won't move at all. I only hope the viberations from the diesel aren't too bad.

cant wait to hear that thing with 20-25 psi of boost

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1148 on:** Nov 19, 2005, 04:01:34 PM »

Yea, I know, but it will have to wait. I need to have it together for next weekend and there isn't enough time to deal with all the little things. I had hoped to have the exhaust manifold done this weekend and now that isn't going to happen.

The wheelbase is 100" and the tub came from Vintage Jeeps out of Texas.

Well (short pause).....don't We (Me&Glen) feel dumb

who da thunk Mr.W would have bought something that he could make himself

My parts showed up today for the exhaust manifold, but I feel like

so I'm not going to work on it tonight. Those Tetinus shots can take it out of you.

I was working on the seat frame when the grinder wheel came apart in my hand.

I still need to shorten the back of the seat frame and drill some holes.

I put off the turbo install for later as there is a trail ride this Saturday. I got the seat frame modified for the extra gear box and will finish the floor tomorrow.

I still need to make the rear driveshaft and extend the air locker line. Then we go

It's coming along nicely, hope it wasn't that taco that's gotcha feeling down.

I pulled it out of the garage tonight and put it in low low, Wow it barley moves 600 rpm x 4:1 x 2.28:1 x 4.7:1 x 5.29:1= 26.3' a minute.

You should know all about viberations from a diesel with solid motor mounts.

Time for an update.

I finally got the good air filter installed Friday before swimming in 4 feet of water on Saturday.

I cut the oil bath out and fitted a paper filter cartrage in to the housing.

This worked really well as the motor is still running.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #1168 on:** Nov 27, 2005, 05:49:33 PM »

I also played with the injection pump today and increased the fuel rate. It really puffs black smoke now and has a little better pickup at slower speeds. At higher speeds it just pours black smoke, but doesn't have any more power for more speed.

I am making the exhaust manifold for the turbo. The flanges are done and I am going to take the manifolds off tomorrow to start building the exhaust manifold.
