I stuck a magnet on the end of a coat hangar and found nothing yet. It's time to call,it for the night anyway. Also have a metal detector but not sure if rebar is in the floor.

If I don't find it after work tomorrow before sunset I'll have to order one.

Saturday I do remember bumping the table pretty good on accident, but not sure where in the disassembly process I was.

I lost the little spring behind the Cam Plate inside the injection pump today...

Good news is the outbuilding I'm working on it in is only 5'x15' and relatively clean, sort of...
You talking about the C-clip that goes over the KSB center shaft locking pin?

No, it is the spring in step #50 here: Bosch diesel injection pump rebuild

I honestly don't remember removing it either bit was a few days ago it was torn down.

I've done at least a half dozen IP re/re's and I have never seen that spring. I looked through all my old pics of the IP's as I tore them down...that spring does not show up in any of them.

That's a rebuild on a VW VE pump if I'm not mistaken...?

Put my snow plow away (again), and this time, I broke the furniture dolly I used for rolling it around in the storage unit. I can't move the 550 lb beast around without wheels, so I made up my own.

These bolt right on to the plow, and now I don't have to worry about breaking a wood dolly anymore .....

Fun...

Good looking work T-man!
I like the bolts that tighten down on it so it can't slide around.

That's good news! I'm not sure how to differentiate between the different pumps. I've watched so many videos and looked at so many pages about rebuilds they all look the same to me.

I have noticed differences in ksb areas on some with some just having block off plates and also some have electronic AFC type units on top.

I am 85% sure there was not a spring there when taking it apart and will inspect closly the areas where if it was there it would leave wear marks.

A few exploded diagrams, some from Bosch I have seen do not show it there but then some do.

Got a package in the mail from Mr. Foster. Looks like a boomerang.



Actually it's a set of tow mirrors.



Olliver, could you send me a picture of the front top hole in the door, either side. I can figure out the rest from there.

They are different sizes. The right one is bigger, as it should be to give a large enough view angle.

I looked at that package for a coupla hours, then got my deer skinning knife and put a good edge on it. Only took me about ten minutes to skin it.

That Oliver is one of a kind is common knowledge around here.

Finished my quest for custom dollies for my brick's plow..

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, it moves so easy, it can unsuspectingly roll away on you if you unlock all the casters, and are parked on a hill (which this storage unit is)..




This one was more difficult, and took a few hours to make, as the placement of it required some "extra" thinning..... of the mush pile between the ears.

Fun, either way...and I get a little better at welding each time. With practice, I'm sure I'll be okay at it in a few years.
