Put up a pallet rack in the barn.
Finally finished the solid crank pulley swap on the diesel, no more rattle at idle
but still has the rod noise just before it shifts
. Added coolant since it's dripping it somewhere I can't see.
Drained a little oil out of the Allis' trans and engine to be sure there was no water in them (sitting outside for 2 years), no issues. Pulled sown the RH bull gear pan to get the ice out, the wheel won't turn when it's below freezing. Suprise, no water??? Cleaned the mouse nest out of the finals. Made a gasket and reinstalled the pan with only minimal spillage of 80W90.
Finished rebuilding the carb for the 77, had to swap throttle shafts and choke pull-offs to the new carb. Trying to decide if I should replace the gaskets while I'm that far ahead. Motor is sucking oil up the PCV breather, suspect the rings are gone.
Went thru 3 boxes of 2.8 S10 stuff, some keepers, most scrap. Seperated most of the aluminum from the steel (hammer and chisel work mostly...). Packed the good stuff up and put it on top of the new rack (10' off the floor).
I;m glas the weekend is over - I hurt.
