Same looking buttons, maybe a little taller, but same functions.
Is that a Caterpillar 4 cylinder?
Thatâs what I thought but I donât know, I shouldâve got more pics of it my bad.
Those 2 bolted on covers on the side really make it look that way.
those coke machines are probably pretty $$ and can bring big money i think
I agree but Kevin has thrown a curve ball in that pic at least for me lol. We know itâs early with both filters upside down. Most fuel pumps are on the left/other side of the engine. What is that near the generator? A pump? Or a magneto? And is that a updraft carburetor bottom of the manifold or a fuel heater? Iâm confused ![]()
@Coolwin1776 almost done with my little project.
I think itâs a Bendix magneto with the cover missing. Looks like you can just barely see one spark plug to the left of the intake manifold. I thing the fuel pump is switched to that side because itâs a power unit vice a tractor/crawler engine. All servicing can be done from one side of the engine.
Turned out great ![]()
Thank you Kevin
Still looks good my man.
Thanks brother it has come a long way. Just my theory why it was locked up. When we pushed the outer jaw free my friend is like " why did that grease get hard?" I told him that ainât grease l think itâs Permatex. It was sabotaged by a disgruntled employee that was either getting laid-off or mad at someone ![]()
Set up hard over the weekend? Crap like this happened until Peterbilt installed cameras.
Donât know anything about that brand but it looks like a good one.
Nice score Kevin ![]()
Made of 10 ga steel welded and bolted legs. Oklahoma made and it is heavy. Heard of them but this my first. I have hickory and applewood for fuel and smoke.
Speaking of hickory. My neighborâs behind me during the tornado warnings a few weeks ago.
This going to be a dangerous cut for next years burn.
@Jammo
Yeah, which way is it gonna take off to relieve all those twists.
Yes sir a widow maker if we ainât careful. He has a Kubota w/loader, we got chains too. Definitely start at the top of the tree and work to the twist. Stump it and leave the rest alone for a while. Then maybe small cuts after?
Thatâs how my back feels sometimes ![]()
Iâm not sure how you would tackle that tangled mess.
Probably let it stay that way for a little while before having a go at it.
Maybe some relief cuts to âcheckâ how much tension it has.
Iâve felled a single tree in my time so do not take my advice !!
Good luck with it brother ![]()
@Jammo relief cuts absolutely.
Got the vise mounted and copper jaws
