I picked up a free engine driven welder that is a serious mechanical failure: The engine is hosed, but the electrical side was apparently fine. For some reason someone took the entire electrical side of things apart, cut wires, didn't label anything, and left it all out in the rain for a few months; but this is horrible mechanical failures, so reading wiring diagrams is for another day. This is an open casket funeral:  This is the oil pickup tube. I found it sitting in the opposite end of the crankcase as the oil pump. I can't say for certain whether this came loose before or after the rest of the damage....  There are some other bits and pieces just chilling where they shouldn't be:  I'm actually impressed at how badly damaged the rods and that one piston are. Fun fact, the really broken piston was on the opposite side of the block as the hole. The first picture you can see where a bearing spun really bad on the crank, it's actually not that rod, it's the one that doesn't look so bad. I'm sure this made quite a sound!  While not a failure, my lawnmower really needed a new muffler. I bodged on the welder's muffler and, while it looks stupid, it's loving QUIET AF. Holy poo poo, i shoulda put a better muffler on this thing years ago. The mower also has a kohler engine, so the muffler should feel light at home, just sans one cylinder.

I just figured he got the whole thing just to use the muffler. Success!

At 10kw generator plus the welder (basically two generators on the same shaft/housing), it's on the large side for j609b. The kohler ch20 usually has a 1-1/8" shaft, so that leaves me a little uncertain as to what i'll find. I can tell that the generator does not have a front bearing, it relies on the engine's rear bearing and since it's a full pressure lubrication engine, i can't just cut the back of the engine housing off and use its bearing (easily). It would be a lot easier if it was a splash lube engine with a ball bearing, just change it to double-shielded. Not sure what my plans are yet.

How is that even possible? Wouldn't all the vaunted tech in that thing not allow it to move with the charge door open?

It’s fun to diagnose the failure of the inner hose on a brake flex line. Took me six months to zero in on that fucker. Hose looked fine on the outside.

In Brazil there are a lot of cars that run on natural gas. Some people then modify these cars to also run on propane, which is taxed at a lower rate because people use it to cook with. Propane also runs at lower pressures than NG, so if you illegally modify your car with a propane tank you need to be sure to have a cutoff so that when you pull into the gas station to get your NG tank filled, it does not backflow into the propane side of the system and make your car blow the gently caress up. And you need to remember to use it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ6ItsHpTZc

I've seen a steelie with a burst disc that didn't do what it was supposed to. It sank an RHIB, and explaining to the Coast Guard why an Army Dive School vessel foundered off Key West was interesting.

No pics, but a friend of a friend In Philly, our roads are loving awful. If they aren't filled with pot holes, they are graded and waiting to be re-paved, so you spend pretty much all of your time dodging manhole covers that can be as much as 2" above the road surface. You already see where I'm going with this, but somehow he wasn't paying attention to the fact that he was driving on a graded road, didn't raise the truck and managed to total the truck on a manhole cover. I know he bent his frame, I'm not sure how much else was hosed. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Jul 15, 2022 |

I'm fond of the old "big ziptie on the axle/driveshaft" trick. Or jumping the blinker relay output to the horn relay input.
