what did you wrench on today??

[Hoosier Daddy]

"And now for something completely different"
Had to be at work at 3:30am today to finalize the disconnection of 3 of our old Plastic Injection Machines in our Plant. My 2nd and 3rd shift guys did pretty darn good, only minor details were left. The Riggers showed at 8:00 and we hauled them out the door and onto the Semi's by 1:00pm. We then relocated two others inside the plant.
Here is the mid-sized one of the three, a '87 vintage 400 Ton (clamping force not weight) HPM.




All this to make room for 4 new Toshiba Electric Presses like this that are showing up next Month!!

Pretty much couldn't do anything today except taxes for my girlfriend, took off the engine guards from a 550 Tkent02 had for mine, and helped my brother-in-law pack up his ex-girlfriend's Uhaul. Need to help him unload it tomorrow but still can't do anything since I'll be in town all day (might take my horse in the trailer and ride afterwards though).

Exhaust bolts

Pulled some snapped exhaust bolts out of of the engine, used some PJ-1 to loosen them up. Painted the side hard cases.

Sent a drillbit into my middle finger drilling carb plugs on an XVS11. I've put down the tools for the evening.

Painted ignition cover.

Solved the problem of my triple clamp hitting the tank at full lock. A previous owner had put the top fork bolts on backward with the captive nuts towards the tank Reversed them and all is good! Saved me having to weld the frame to reduce steering lock

Removed and painted the battery box. Battery acid had corroded the whole area. My better half came out to help sand before painting. I hope she continues such behaviour it might help me justify getting a sand blasting cabinet too.

Then just washed and lubed the chain on my ducati.

Looking forward to UPS bringing me a new exhaust tomorrow.

So instead of flipping you the bird... is that the bird flipping you?

Got my electrics tray pretty much sorted, but need to file all the sharp edges and finalise the mounting method yet:



And made up my temporary fuel tank ready for the first start:

Re-spacing my FCR's.

I think I'm gonna check the air in my tires, put a little gas in the tank and go for a spin, 80 degrees here today, piture perfect weather! Whoopie!

Changed the oil in the 84; now just need to do the 82. With a 4-1 that has to be removed for access to the filter, I'm not looking forward to it.
