They do look good as they are and any restoration is done the way the owner wants them done and I can appreciate that.

Hi Guys, sorry I`ve missed a couple of days. The sand blasted bits are all looking very good, I`m with VP on the use of bog to fill holes, I doubt R.A.Lister or Deutz would have used it although it appears to be common in the Indian clone engines.
Are you using a high gloss or satin varnish for the outsides of the flywheels?

Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Lets see! NICE PULLEY
« Reply #182 on: October 15, 2022, 04:45:27 PM »
Bob, Cobba, Gentles

Just a proof of life to show 2nd coat of paint at pulley.

Bob, I order high glossy, because it shines nice outside. and make people crazy when you show off your work of art.

Cobba, nothing like to appreciate simple things, like "wau" nice restoration... how many years it was seated... how may hours you put on it... and some money too? Am I right? Color is that one the maker painted it to get out of factory, isnt it?

Cobba, what is your "poison"? (Did you know NZ is the antipode of my place?

One pic to showoff!

Cheers

Had to look up what antipode was so mine is the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. Not sure what you mean by 'my poison', sorry.

The nearest large town to me is Taree NSW 2430.

Who had the bright idea of assembling 5000 adrenalin addicts in one place? No wonder you had a long day.

Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Lets see! FUEL LINE
« Reply #186 on: October 27, 2022, 09:50:23 PM »
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.

2 pics for the show.

Cheers

When I have a suspect fuel line I find it cheaper to make a new one and re-use the ends if they are in good condition.

+1 Cobbadog, I would have cut off the damaged pipe and drilled out the ends of the banjo fittings to take new tubing. I have found that my local automotive brake specialist stocks steel hydraulic pipe in various sizes, even some copper plated steel tubing. I prefer to solder or silver solder low pressure pipes rather than braze them, it is much easier to clean off soldering flux than brazing flux.

Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Lets see! SAVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
« Reply #189 on: October 29, 2022, 12:19:19 AM »
Cobba, Bob, Gentles

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???

Yeah we understand, spent all the money on the paint!  :laugh:

I am not sure but would copper tubing hold the pressures of a diesel injection system? I buy various lengths of copper tubing by the meter from EnZed locally in Taree and it is cheap to buy but only ever used it on the petrol engines on the toys we have.

Hi Guys,
VP, I am sure the repair will be fine, if it ever leaks it`s an easy external component to repair. Stop sweating about the valve guides, the damage is done, worse things happen to good people everyday.
Cobba, the tubing I was talking about is steel with electroplated copper coating to reduce corrosion, it makes it very easy to solder.

Yes, Bob, I know the tubing and as you say easy to solder whether soft or silver soldering, but so is copper tubing and is not expensive. I can see why VP wishes to keep the original metal line and as you say if it is a headache it is an easy one to fix.

Gentles,

Things are idling know - father in hospital since last 5th OUT - and big parts are at shop.

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.

Some pics for the show.

Cheers

Resurrection of a Deutz MAH 914, 1952? Lets see! LINCH PINS
« Reply #194 on: November 03, 2022, 11:41:17 PM »
Gentles

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.

Cheers
VP
