Cobba, Butch

I think 3/1's are (early ones) unobtanium parts... and if Bambords, they are all of that kind.

Be resilient... and happy. Please

Gentles,

I'm starting to scratch myself with nothing to bang.

Seated balls on chair... and light hammer on hand to break solid rock lime stone on front and back seats of liner, after wire wheel to smooth.

On between, I found a stamp of maker at inside crank case paint. I think its a certification of warranty no sand inside. Take a look!

As far as I can read it says: "Versand" and "Erdprüfung". Dr. Google tell " Dispatch earth test". And in my poor english and worst Deutch, maybe it says "sand free" (inside!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D)

Some pics to the show.

Remember I said that water (hot) manifold was upsidedown? Well, there is the answer!

You can ask about the remain parts, and seller can say price was that low because of missing parts, or you just can move on.

It hurts me too.

PS: And this is not a indian block, its a brit one!

Gentles,

Things are at idler. Parts are at machinist shop, items from germany are overdue.

So... restored another souvenir from the SD4. The fuel tank tap.

After clean, lapped the tapered opening, put adapted spring and new split pin.

There is no such thing of stupid questions, only stupid answers - those does not answer the question made!

Once pressed bagasse can be given to feed animals, like hogs or to fertilize soil.

or sent to another facility to extract bagasse oil - its a chemical procedure.

After extrat bagasse oil, dry bagasse is used as fuel to heat the boiler.

Satisfied?

Last axcis I made (FEV2020) was (is) to put on the PETTER PAZ1  with gen head (see here: https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=8333.0;attach=4492;image)

I know I have a bag of linch pins somewhere, because I ordered them from USA (Of course they arrived at gold price, but they are just what I need).

Already made an axis for the German, but now I need to put on it 2 linch pins.

DOES ANYONE SAW MY BAG OF LINCH PINS?

This German must be cursed!

Any help will be apreciated.

Moreover, today I toke liner and piston there to hone slyghtly the liner and to measure liner ovality.

Flys and pulley are wrapped after 2nd paint coat.

One axle is done (machinist job), with a pair of chinese wheels, that needed to have hole and nipple to lubricate.

Receive 2 dies (M20 and 1/2W) to put threads on spec.

Agree with you 200%, but.... by N th time... I want to save as much as possible original parts.

Off course I could make a fresh new line, but its not my goal.

Thats why those damn valve guides still stay in my mind. Capisici???

Gentles,

After more than a week away from the German, today finish to 'straighten' the fuel line from filter to IP.

After found a piece of pipe to complete the line, welded it and verified if it had any hole to close. A few of them of course.

Now primary, and 2 coats of black.
